Not this again

breh

im saying, its really NO point to even having these threads/debates if we cant put into context of what was played in said year

i just searched CM it drop'd in march 3, 1987
and like 4/5 songs outta the 11 tracks were bump'd many months before CM was released

3 of the 10 songs on CM were released in 86 according to Discogs. Super Hoe. 9mm goes bang and South Bronx.
i was only 6 so if there were others I wouldn't know.
They did have two other songs that didn't make CM, including the original version of the P is free.
So when you evaluate 87 for KRS do you not consider those three songs at all? A little?

u forgot the number 1 song on the album being played in '86
the bridge is over

i evaluate those songs at a much lesser rate in '87 simply cause they were play'd so much in the previous year

imma lil older then u - and maybe the fact i was born & raised in the bronx
i heard 'the south bronx' '9mm' & 'bridge is over' damn near everywhere i went

i alwayz been like
'86 is kris
'87 is kim
'88 is kane

Slick Rick wants a word with for '88.

Rap used to be so good.

'eric b for pres' for sure & i think 'my melody'

but the point is their biggest songs were
summer '87
'aint no joke' & 'u know i got soul'

fall '87
'move da crowd' & 'paid in full'

 

[Da_Eggman]

I felt CM was better

rick album maybe slighty better

but this was the undisputed song of the year

According to discogs, that was 87.

Of course, I have no personal knowledge, so if you say it was 86 I can't refute it.
