Sales had nothing to do with that

Big was the leader of the East

Sales don’t matter now?

Illmatic was more influential was it not? No one was saying Ready to Die was the GOAT album in real time like illmatic.

Ready to Die really didn’t pop until the one more chance remix popped off because of Puffs marketing. Illmatic had a better debut and more critical acclaim. It was written sold faster than Ready to Die 2 years later.

Sales and impact was Nas :manny:

You live in a fantasy world.

yall boy thought he was the one twice and two ugly BK dudes pulled the rug from under him

Nas thought he was gonna be the guy with illmatic. Nope Biggie

Nas thought he was gonna be the guy after Big death. Nope Jay z. dmx knocked him down a peg two

nothings gone as you predicted (wack ass nas alias Nastradamus)
i stop the heart of nikkas acting too suspicious (suspect Is a nas song to the fake fans)
this is food for thought you do the dishes (jay had his feet up on Nas sofa leaving dirty dishes in the crib)

Ready 2 Die was double platinum after 1 year and Big Poppa was the #1 trap rack debuting #6 in the Hot100.

As far as more critical acclaim, don't know about that, perhaps in retrospect. Both albums were critically acclaimed. Rolling stone called it the best debut album since Amerikkkas most wanted, Source called Nas album the best debut. You'd need to go back and find all the magazines that were created on a monthly basis to gauge a broad spectra of acclaim.

Nas stans always turning back to a source review, written by a Chinese Ivy league girl for a magazine owned and operated by 2 Ivy League jewish cats and a some nerdy people like it was the only voice in rap and the streets. These people criticized people removed mics from rappers like Big and Jay for being too vulgar :mjlol:

Ra, KRS, Slick Rick, Guru...any of them could replace Kiss on that list. Hot97 knows what they were doing with this.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
Biggie sold more with his debut than 2pac 1st 2 and nas debut combined in that time period lol

stop it

he went plat before both of them. Even though he debuted after them
But never went past them while he was here. :Manny: Regardless he’s in the Mount Rushmore. Only ur goofy ass in here even daring to dispute Nas being there. I mean it’s literally from a pure hate point of view. No nuance whatsoever. lol. U nikkas need to be flat out ignored when it comes to certain shyt.
