Album saved Nas’ life so I can understand why Jay would want it.
If it wasn’t for that album, Jay would have still been selling bricks in Brooklyn.

Still have my out of print copy with the pistol on the CD, only real-time/first day buyers know about that
Lucky you…
U must have been one of the fans who was bumping RD while everyone else was playing PAC and Fugees.
I got the Reasonable Doubt reissue with Can I Live II.
I wonder if Jay will have an expanded edition with all the remastered loosies from that era. I know he has tracks in that vault from 1994-2006.

Idk Jay looks like the type to pay Dame and then have him robbed to get the money back….
Jigga doesn’t like to take losses like that.

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I thought Nas owned his masters now, but the reversions were crucial.

Nas will be near 60
The way that so many Gen X people are putting classic hip hop into movies and commercials, that is probably some nice change, if the paper is right. 89-94 is 30-35 years ago. So that's a lot of really good hip hop.
Nas owns all of his publishing.
He owns the Masters for every album he puts out under Mass Appeal. He doesn’t yet own Illmatic masters but will in 2029 (this is according to MC Serch’s interview with Math Hoffa)
I believe the plug chick said in one of the Twitter lives that Nas does own the Masters to a few of his Sony/Columbia albums but she didn’t specify which ones and she was emphatic that he didn’t own Illmatic masters and Sony wasn’t keen on giving them up.

I listened to Pac and the Fugees too, that's my favorite Jay album though.

35 years is the standard timeline as enacted per the Copyright Act of 1976. The law went in effect as of the beginning of 1978. Before 1978, artists could only recover their masters after 56 years, had they not done so already.
This is basically educating, or re-educating, the buyers on what to expect.

Pretty sure Hov offered him 20 million for it 20 years ago when Rocafella was done
And 35 years is way too long, it should revert back to the artist in 20 years max
