Better Debut Album: It’s Dark and Hell is Hot or Reasonable Doubt?
- Thread starter Conscious Pilot
- Start date
This subs gimmick has gotten old at this point
Why's that a surprise? It was recognized as an instant classic that changed the direction of East Coast hip hop
RD was seen as a very dope album but was overlooked for years and had minimal impact. It took years of lobbying by Jay and his fans for RS to reach "consensus classic" status

I don't get how nikkas are surprised...they must have not been there. Both are of equal quality

One album changed the entire hip-hop game and made brehs throw away their shiny suits
The other was only big in the tri state area

This is a really wack way of describing IDAHIH. shyt got like 2 club anthems the whole album, IDAHIH had more creativity. It had a crazy vibe to it. It had better and more creative storytelling. It introduced a new sound. It was much more than club anthems. shyt was a dark album actually.

We’re u actually there when these albums dropped?
So is it based on sales or quality?

I love Jay and preferred RD for years. I wasnt big into X in the 90s bc i didnt think he was lyrical enough.
I revisited Dark in recent years and yea....it was a more impactful album and X was a better rhymer thsn i gave him credit for, solid storyteller too
Dark might be a top 5 debut album ever
