[kingofnyc]

Nope. It def isnt as simple as Cacs= Thriller, Blacks = Off The Wall. plenty of black people prefer Thriller.

Son whatever way u look at it the nikka got snubbed g. He shouldve walked away with SOMETHING. shyt a bunch of other hip hop artists felt the same way at the time. shyt ain't even an argument at this point. U don't give a nikka 100. Then give another nikka a 90. But give the nikka wit the 90 class valedictorian. The nikka wit the 100 walks away wit no awards. No nothin. shyt wasn't fair and u know it. It's just that it's involving Biggie so u refuse to admit it. Matter fact the only responses u have in this thread are Biggie related. Nas shouldnt have walked away from that award show with no awards.

my response to this thread has either been youu whom (you / yourself) mention biggie or this false notion that R2D wasn't the inspiration to IWW

Dawg, B.I.G. thought Nas should have won...

breh
i explained why the source did what they did

I wasnt even the one u quoted about that. u quoted someone else. Cause I never said that. Either way. All u honestly came in the thread for was to defend Biggie.

"All I cared about was album of the year. I didn't expect to win Lyricist of The Year cause Nas was in that.." -B.I.G.

You know? I'm listening to Watch Dem nikkas again and I think I've been mistaken lol because I like this song now.


I'm SURE there's another song other than Nas is Coming that was pretty poor/average but clearly it's not that song lol. I need to find it.

I never liked Black Girl Lost. Whenever I heard it, I just couldn't get into it.

But the way Nas starts off "Watch Dem nikkas" with one of my all-time favorite lines:

They never realized how real Nas is, so decisive
It's just the likeness of Israelites mist that made me write this

Fam there's plenty black people who prefer Thriller don't act like it's some unfathomable thing. U straight buggin that album was huge. And one was disco/rnb while the other was pop/rnb. Get it straight. Thriller had Lady Of My Life and Human Nature etc. etc. Lets not act like that shyt was some straight up pop album. Bad was more pop than Thriller and tons of black people loved that album and have it as their favorite.

Thriller > Bad > Off The Wall.

again, i aint never EVER heard a black person say thriller was better (forget about this thread title - for blacks thriller >> OTW is the ultimate blasphemy)

thriller was a rock/pop album
while OTW was a soul/R&B

da fukk black is gonna prefer rock/pop over soul/R&B
unless we talking bout some c00nish/self hating mutherfukker

Thriller > Bad > Off The Wall.

cmon son. I'm 100%. Verified

 

[Billy Ocean]

i assume your not black

He's a c00n. And he's not American and probably first heard his first Mike album in his early 30's. Put no credence in anything he has to say music related. Hes a Professor at being a coward tho.

 

[Inspect Her Deck]

i assume your not black

a black person cannot think Thriller is the better album?
