They called this one of the worst Hiphop songs 25 years ago, now it’s trending on Twitter

Where is the revision? Everything I said was facts


People had started to move on from Nas a little bit and he was still living off Illmatic and to a lesser extent IWW. Jay didn’t just address where Nas was in 2000 and 2001. He broke down his whole career up to that point. Even talked about how he sampled his voice back in 96

This is mad OD revision. Nas dropped 2 platinum albums in 1 year literally the year after DMX did it. I Am was critically and commercially successful and that's even AFTER the album was bootlegged crazy and it had the industry scared cause it was the first music album massively bootlegged with MP3s. Flex debuted dropping bombs on songs with Hate Me Now. U are indeed fukking rewriting history. Nas was top 5 most successful rapper of 99.

What was the Nas one from the Big Mommas House SDTK, around 200? "I've Got To Have It"

He def. was indulging in some 'water down over proof thug shyt' around 2000

His bars post I Am were kinda light.

This is cap. nikka most of his Lost Tapes songs was I Am and post I Am. Then he had shyt like his songs on QB Finest album. U nikkas really just be saying shyt. Lol.

 

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

Not everything has to be a argument bro. We are just talking. I was also on the West Coast. Nas was big with Hate Me Now, but no one followed him that close, besides me and maybe two of my homies.

Nobody in my circle, but we are talking teenagers, in San Diego, was listening to underground Nas around 2000, but on SOHH a lot of people had that convo. The difference between something like the Big Mommas House track and Hate Me Now, was noticeable.

Ain’t no WAY you can listen to QB Finest, which came out in 2000, and say Nas bars were “light”

People were saying he was back around that time. Like QB Finest was the return of Nas, after Nastradamus. This was on SOHH. Who knows who those people were, but they can't all be nerds from Iowa or whatever. I loved all Nas shyt in 2000. Like I was saying my friends weren't following any of this closely. But I had QB Finest album, that was the first month of high school for me.

Nastradamus wasn't recieved well, I bought it, but it was an afterthought to most of the game. Considered one of his lesser works instantly when released. I just knew it didn't have the intensity or grit of I Am, but like I said I was playing You Owe Me!

The revision is that Nas wasn't still huge in 1999 or that people stopped checking for him.

This is mad OD revision. Nas dropped 2 platinum albums in 1 year literally the year after DMX did it.

Look yall Nas is one of my goats but we not gonna pretend like 99 Nas was buzzing like 96-97 Nas. I personally feel like he was at his best with the pen around 99 too but it’s his most underappreciated era regardless of the sales even tho Nastradamus was wack. Those were the years everyody wanted another Illmatic

He was still buzzing. There are people that legit had I Am over IWW. There are people I remember asking to borrow Nastradamus and that's his weakest album and I was curious as to why, but people loved "Project Windows", "You Owe Me" and "Nastradamus". Me and one of my friends hated the song "Nastradamus", but that's even a testament to his buzz because I still remember him being on Hot 97.5ATL premiering that joint with Luda back when Luda was Chris Lova Lova. I was shocked that he was putting out another album so quick.

You mean the song where he got outshined by Lil BowWow(no I'm not joking)


Not saying that's my opinion,because I liked Nas verse. But he was definitely channeling his inner Jay Z.

 

[Mag Wheel]

Why did it and oochie wally get so much hate back in the day?

Because that song was and is a piece of shyt. Retards liked it but it was another embarrassing Nas misstep. IMO

 

[ThatTruth777]

I think the hate was because it was grimy

Part of this is regional but what I remember is Nas commercial popularity peaked spring and summer 1999. I Am was probably the biggest rap album that timeframe. But that fall Nastradamus came and went, dropped the same time as two of the biggest rap albums ever, and he wasn't real visible again until the Stillmatic.

shyt moved so fast then. 400 Degreez was maybe the biggest rap album of 1998 but G Code a year later did Nastradamus numbers and is never mentioned now. Nastradamus reception hurt his standing a little but it was more he wasn't around.

But I know perception was different in the northeast.

This is what I was trying to convey too. The rapid rate of albums and trends too. It was all on a smaller time frame, that's what it looks like 25 years later. Trends had more power, but they didn't last long, like how DMX took over the game in 1998, but by summer 2000, he just wasn't where he was before. And by September 2001, he was mostly an afterthought, we still played his shyt, but it wasn't what was hot.

 

[TGainz]

I liked both tracks

 

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

It was timbaland nas and ginuwine.

In that time frame...

In Denver Colorado this went off, and still goes off til this day.

 

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

You think you're getting girls now because of your looks?!?

(Girls girls girls)

Shorty owe you for ice? On the same song where he's doing an Austin powers impression? After he lost...yeah, nikka won long run ..

That doesn't discredit this song.
