i know it's blasphemous to say this here, on nas/jay-z central, but cormega has a better overall discography than the both of them. dude's released 4 consistently dope albums, that each have their own soundscape. he's 4 for 4, vs where they both have multiple forgettable albums....

A DOPE album

I remember rushing to the record store the morning it came out. (And I also remember listening to it while I read the SOHH forum discussion about it lol)


My main complaints:


1. Cormega's overuse of punch-ins

2. Some of the songs were too short (in the 2-3 minute range with 1-2 verses). Actually, this was a much bigger problem on The True Meaning, but it was also a bit of an issue on The Realness

Does anyone else feel like Cormega missed a great opportunity to build off the momentum of his first two albums?

He released The Realness and The True Meaning within a year ... but then:

1. He took two years to put out another project (Legal Hustle), and it was more of a compilation than a solo album

2. He followed that up by putting out The Testament. I am glad he released it, but I'd already heard half of it (and, as it turned out, it was the best half). Also, it wasn't the same as getting an all new album with new material.

3. I think he was featured on Lake's album in 2006-07

4. Finally, after 7 years, he released a proper new solo album in 2009

Discographies are overrated. Mega never peaked higher than Nas.

Lol at discographies being overrated. Surprised you could type that with the clutch you have on nas dikk. Kinda silly shyt you talking about. The purpose of making music is to make the best you can make not be an underachieving clown.

Mega still in QB projects selling dirt weed.
:rudy:
On Twitter trying to beg "real hip hop" to fund his project. @ Nas every 30 seconds to collab.
:heh:
He nice though, so I'm not going to hate but you can appreciate his music without fouling the GOATS name, nah mean? :youngsabo:
