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

[904]

If you were actually outside both You Owe Me and Oochie Wally got play..

Just a bunch of nerds allergic to vagina online that didn't like these songs

It actually didn't get hate don't let ANYONE on here tell u different. People in real life fukked with both them songs heavy. It's the reason why when he plays them at his shows it gets some of his biggest reactions. That post is revisionist history actually.

Uhh, yea and no. The casual consumer loved these songs, the super hip hop purists and “Nas can only make one type of music” Nas fans hated both songs IRT

 

[JoelB]

girls always loved that song back then...same for oochie walley.

Anytime Nas drops a song that doesn’t sound like NYSOM, the dusty nikkas come out talkin bout "that aint real hip-hop"

 

[bigde09]

Only people who didn't like this or oochie wally were dust balls who hated on Nas doing radio songs.

 

[Shadow King]

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

Nas isn't allowed to make club/girl records.

 

[ShaDynasty]

Classic.

Oochie Wally was dope except for Jungle verse. You would think some residual mic skills would be passed on just by hanging out with Nas but

No one cares about them nikkas tho. They been hating on my boi since IWW. The streets is what I’m talking about.

Trash then, trash now, trash album.

This will NEVER change. Get the fukk over it.

 

[Still Benefited]

The hook is elite,Nas was an afterthought or better yet the weak link

Acting like people liked this or oochie wally because of Nas is hilarious.Thid song didn't make a single soul start checking for Nas based on his performance.

In the 90’s, their voices mattered. They were segments of the journalists, album reviewers, radio personalities aand DJs

They didn’t matter to me or none of my nikkas. And this was the late 90s early 00s they def didn’t matter as much by that time. Case in point. I Am got 4 1/2 mics in The Source at the time but u let history tell it the album got panned by critics. The Source literally gave I Am a better rating than they gave IWW.

Everybody wanted Nas to only put out LYRICAL MIRACLE boom bap raps

It may not have mattered to you and your crew but it was a conversation, but acting like it wasn’t being panned IRT by some folks is revisionist. Even out here in the west we heard the criticism, i remember feeling lightweight bad for liking the song cuz some of my brother’s (8 yrs older) friends hated it.
