damn this shyt did numbers
who the hell cares about being on the martin show??
outkast wasn't even the biggest act on that episode at the time. Coolio was, and I see you conveniently didn't mention him
that aquemini album was when they were far off into the nerd rap & incent-burner categories. sorry broham.
of course there was no illmatic documentary in '94. what sense would that make?
im talking strictly hip-hop culture. illmatic was the biggest album in '94 amongst the serious rap crowd.
Jordan was interviewed in Vibe. He an R&B icon now?
You’re arguing with a dude named Wacky D. That should tell you all you need to know about his “opinions.” I quote because even he doesn’t believe them. He’ll say he does though.What purpose would it serve to mention every rapper that ever appeared on Martin? I mentioned those artists specifically because all were bigger than Nas.
Nothing about Aquemini is nerd rap and to be honest, Illmatic is more "nerd rap" than Illmatic.
There not being a documentary on Illmatic in 1994 is what I'm getting at and is the reason the analogy exists in regard to Kast on the first place. The fact that documentaries were made about Illmatic praising it as a GOAT album 20 years after the fact isn't revision. It is a work that has collected significance over time as opposed to it being slept on (even though it got a classic stamp) in real time.
Illmatic was not the biggest album of 1994 in any regard. You're rewriting history. Doggystyle owned '94. That is the album that was altering Hip Hop in real time in 1994 even though it came out in late 1993.
migos don't dress like them.
future looks like he might be getting there eventually. he wouldn't count anyway, since he used to be in DF.

If you don't see Kast as GOAT contenders then you're no "REAL HIP HOP HEAD"
Wacky D as a human being and a hip hop head =
What purpose would it serve to mention every rapper that ever appeared on Martin? I mentioned those artists specifically because all were bigger than Nas. And Coolio is kind of irrelevant because if you want to talk about cultural significance, Martin's show was huge to the Hip Hop community. That particular episode took it's title from the Kast song.

I would've named the episode "players ball" too. that's prolly the reason why he threw them a bone and let them on his show for an entire 8 seconds.
Coolio was clearly the more featured artist on the episode.
Iol @ the bolded. you really think aquemini was poppin on the streets?? chit wasn't even radar material.
im not bothering with the documentary argument anymore. SMH. come on son.
I didn't consider doggystyle when I made that comment. I was just thinking of albums that dropped in '94.
outkast never dressed like that.
migos are on some NBA bullchit.

Episode wasn't named "Player's Ball". That was the theme. "All The Player's Came" is the name of the episode. That's a line from the hook/chorus of the song. It isn't about whether Coolio was more of a featured artist.
Breh, you can't even stick to your own script regarding Aquemini. First, it was "nerd rap", now it it's not poppin in the streets. Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it didn't have impact in the streets.
How do how you not consider Doggystyle? You of all people should know better. You make all these lists and all of them have emphasis on the lay over.
Migos themselves compare themselves to Kast and say they came up listening to Kast.
You remember that most of these new NBA nerds dressing like 3000 used to tho.
