ya but its peak 'tough guy' em. captures that moment in time nicely. stop being wrong about things!!!!!!

Take some Big and some Pac and you mix 'em up in a pot
Sprinkle a little Big L on top, what the f--- do you got?
You got the realest and illest killers tied up in a knot
The juggernauts of this rap s---, like it or not
It's like a fight to the top just to see who'd die for the spot
You put your life in this, nothin' like survivin' a shot
Y'all know what time it is, soon as 50 signs on this dot
s---, what you know about death threats, 'cause I get a lot
Shady Records was eighty seconds away from the towers
Some cowards f----- with the wrong building
They meant to hit ours
Better evacuate all children, it's nuclear showers
There's nothin' spookier
You now about to witness the power

i know u were shirtless in front of the mirror w ur gunit chain lipsynching this in manitoba

Can see reason for debate, but I think calling the opinion insane is... insane

Patiently waiting slander????

Good Kid and College Dropout

 

May 9, 2020

As someone that lived in NY, it was somewhat skewed remembering what exactly was happening before G-Unit exploded and dominated Hot 97/Power 105.

Slowly but surely Crunk has a couple of spins, the Black Spades (notorious g---) on my block were blasting TI’s 24s and Dipset was still heavy in rotation.

Radio stations always gave local guys spins, somehow even Fat Joe had a major hit with Lean Back

Delete this before more people see it.

Wtf is wrong those songs you freak?

 

May 5, 2020

Some great suggestions in here but I think we all know the real answer

Spoiler: Spoiler

Ready to Die is the greatest debut album of all time.

 

May 9, 2020

I kid you not, everyone I practically knew had a copy of GRODT & or The Massacre. Nobody had a bigger zenith than 50, only place that was different was Harlem where everyone tried to look like Cam & Juelz

 

May 5, 2020

Speaking of 50 songs...oh boy... I really want to talk about... Detox. Jimmy Iovine. Pop singers... Actually, nevermind. I can't.


Maybe later though

Lol @cpt awesome WPG joint acc I knew there was another terrible line from Don't Push Me that I couldn't think of a month back. This is it!


And yeah best debut of OAT is GRODT, The Documentary or Reasonable Doubt. Depends on the day.

 

May 5, 2020

ur going to be awfully sore when Ringer pays me 75 cents a word to dissect how eminem's lyrical response to 9/11 captured the outrage of the zeitgeist

DMX - It’s Dark and h--- is Hot.

This is one of the greatest rap debut albums ever. I still give the nod to biggie’s ready to die. But DMX has a legit argument.

This dude was without a doubt the biggest rapper on the planet in 98 and 99. He went on the Hard Knock Life tour with redman and method man and Jay Z obviously headlined. And without a doubt DMX was not only the best performance of the night, it was clear most of the people in that arena were there to see him live. This concert was the 2nd best rap concert I ever saw live. I should see if this show was taped and available online. I’d love to see it again after all these years.

DMX was the first and only rapper to debut at #1 on the billboard top 200 with 2 different albums in the same calendar year (its dark and later that year he released flesh of my flesh). He was the only person to do it until future accomplished the feat in 2017 when he released Future and Hndrxx in back to back weeks.

Doggystyle is not better than GRODT just because Eminem has no involvement on it.

 

May 4, 2020

Capital Punishment

 

May 9, 2020

lmao dude are you kidding me

the history of the genre is that by the mid-2000s new york was at its absolute nadir and the industry had finally caught on to atlanta, and then there was that houston explosion; crunk and snap were massive, and t.i., ross, and jeezy were emerging as the most reliably bankable new stars for majors.

this is, literally, not something that anybody debates, it’s just the objective truth. and you’re using a lloyd banks single no one has played since 2004 as a counter example?
