Looking flimsy in the light.And for some one like you to call me lame is hilarious boy my life better than yours guaranteed
People really arguing about him saying this on stage at a 50 cent concert lol? Ya'll just want to be mad at J. Cole
Not true. And I don’t get why people online keep saying this.
In '96, all of the Hip Hop magazines were going crazy for RD with the reviews. XXL and The Source loved it. By '97, everyone considered RD to be a classic. Back then, you didn't call something a "classic" the same day it dropped, like the weirdos do today. You let it cook. Even the non-Hip Hop spots like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone gave it near perfect scores. It's always been universally loved, by both the streets and mainstream media.
You couldn't go anywhere in NYC during that era without people quoting lines from the album, or hearing cars blasting tracks from it. The impact was crazy. Kendrick said when RD dropped, his crew couldn't stop playing the album. And when he was working on Section 80, he tweeted that he felt it was better than Illmatic. Wayne said he would study RD when it came out because he was trying to come up with a style for himself. Crazily impactful album. Not just for fans when it dropped, but also for future legend MC's.
I honestly can’t think of much released post 03 that compares. Personally, I’ll take TM101 over GRODT. IMHO TM101 has better replay value, and better production, and has more influence.
Maybe GKMC…
I don’t love GRODT as much as most on this site, I like several songs on the massacre more than anything on GRODT not named many men.
When you’re talking *all time great albums in hip hop*, whatever your discussing will inevitably be compared to the foundational pillars of the genre released 1988-1996/97.
It’s not absurd to say LAD is better than what I listed. I personally disagree, and I’ve always liked RTD much more than LAD, but you can probably guess that I prefer the 94-96 sound over all else.
Never seen N4L listed that high, especially above the chronic…but to each their own. I’ll give it a spin tmrw off the strength bc I haven’t heard it all the way thru in a few years.
You definitely new here.
Care about that ignore button, my boy.
I'm from the Midwest and nobody out here cared about Jay or "RD".
In real time. I was 19 in 1996. I've posted my high school pics on here. If your experience was different, cool, but this definitely isn't some internet shyt.
Fred.
So now the topic is what people thought of Reasonable Doubt in 96. Pretty sure that one hasn’t been discussed!

Very few albums stops the world in its tracks and GRODT was one of them. The shyt had the feel of a blockbuster movie and it delivered.I'm not mad at him that album was an event
