here is the trackmaster telling you themselves about being and known for commercial sellout production.
Poke: “We felt a lot of pressure because Illmatic was a benchmark in hip-hop. The thing about Illmatic wasn’t the records themselves or the album, it was the movement behind it. So how do we make it that?”
There was some undertones with him taking little jabs at other rappers in that record. [Laughs.] The 'Lex with TV sets, the mininum,' that line was directed right at Jay-Z. Jay was fronting hard with the Lexus in his videos and there was a little rivalry brewing. - Tone
so,..for you noob dumb nikkaz trying to tell me.
that nas did not sell out,....here is proof in quotes from the trackmasters, themselves.
plus they were commercial as fukk from jump.
they just got to work, cold chillin and do hardcore joints for g rap and kane.
kane after he was pretty much done and g rap. needing hardcore ny alternative production for a mainly sir jinx westcoast hodgepodge, gangsta rap record. so they got to bless g rap with their baby, illstreet blues.
pkus provide a credible single for kane who desperately needed it. after selling out and ruining his career on his previous release taste of chocolate. so, he needed and almost succeeded in redeeming himself with looks like a job for.
plus, they made chubb go commercial but it worked on the one's just the two of us as well.
they were not howie tee with it,...either.
also,...redhot lover tone was the equivalent of the wacker super lover cee, on girls i got'em locked.
or the commercial red head kingpin.
or what would be the equivalent of weak ass, drake back then.
so the idea that he thinks he was in nas's league as a talent was preposterous.
