INVADING SOHH CHAMPION
Lord Jamar is suspect and be on some bullshyt sometimes because he got a taste of that pod bread. I stand with him against Joe though. Also Jamar not only held his own in Brand Nubian but he was decent behind the boards. I can’t say Joe was talentless but if there was no BIG, Puff would’ve still been somewhat successful where Joe owes all of his popularity to Pun. My least favorite in DITC and TS. He just never that good to me and Ja saved his ass with What’s Love
Puff would have failed without big as his hardcore heavy d. After being fired from mca by andre Harrell.
If puff never let's Clive Davis diddle him. Under the guise he pitched a big Mac Styrofoam marketing plan.
Both were part of the same damn hardcore native tongues offshoot.
Where both made key appearances. during dire times for both respective crews of brand nubian.
after puba went solo. Where jamar would hold weight. That would eventually become a day in the life of three black men. Being a key timeline feature. Making both brand nubian and what would become ditc. after jamar featured on a day in the life by diamond d.
Where both crews that both hail from used to be in a kindred. Yet the skin Jax on skills by both these members. Who were given passes has gone to both of their heads.
As both were allowed and given passes because of the respective crews. Where given the situation of one was recovering from what should have been a career ending break up. After puba left brand nubian. Plus the formative years of ditc. As soul clap to diamond d. Created the draw and pass for fat joe. Being the okay remedial rhyming to ghost written artist in fat joe.
Both are given passes for being outlier crew guys. Who were put on or carried.
This whole fascination with the losers of rap is why we are wehre we are tho. As fans only seem to like the no talents similar to them in nature. Then construct this pass system to allow this. When this shyt was never allowed. For the exact reason and why we are Where we are now in rhis discussion.
No passes.
Stop that shyt.
As you get people with resources who speak outta turn. Plus act grandiose while not being skilled in the pillar they inhabit business wise. Which was never allowed in hiphop. Yet certain passes arose that were never allowed.
Why....
Someone who likes giving passes needs to chime in. As I am not for the bullshyt.
Fat joe gets to run around from graf. Yet fat joe should have learned to rhyme with no help. As originally that was what was supposed to be the deal with him. Before there were so many passes given out because of puff. That fat joe went unchecked. From actually having a pillar. Whereas other sellouts and no talents did not. If people wonder how being in a pillar.
Plus having a emcee pillar talent and cultural endorsement can take you.
