I think 50 and Kanye started the trend historically...been downhill ever since.
The Blueprint and Blueprint 2 both outsold stillmatic and God son. Where did the narrative that Nas won come from?

It's always 1996 2001 on the coli
Kanye and 50 never had a hip-hop beef..........
(Yes, I know about the 9/11 album sales race they had)
I'm saying prior 2 that the fans didn't care about sales....at least thats how I remember it

Nah, Nas was braggin about sales on the affirmative action remix...
breh I dont care about nas y u keep talking about him I already said that
I'm calling out how sales are fraudulent and how there is literally evidence of jay-z working the system. you used that as a metric 2 "jock jay-z...jockin jay-z"
I have a strong distaste for that as a barometer of skills in this shyt. especially since hip-hop is a counter-culture. this was never for the masses.
Some of us actually care about the art form and hate the prostitution of said art form.
Some of the best albums probably never sold shyt.
In the words of monch
"u sold platinum round the world; I SOLD WOOD IN THE HOOD"
did people care about it back then? before my time....I only remember this being a thing with 50 n ye....
I'm from the mixtape era where all of our GOATs didn't give a fukk about any of that and became legends giving away free music for the hood.
