Wack100 Goes OFF on Just Blaze in a Clubhouse debate : Calls Ice T, Pac,Kurupt Turnouts to
I dunno how old you was when Doggystyle came out, but that part was true. Dre even admitted this himself. The reason why it was rushed was because of the unknown factor of Snoop's fate over his murder charge. The song, THE NEXT EPISODE was supposed to be on that album and it never did because it wasn't finished and mastered, despite it being on the album credits. So, that was a FAIR assessment. Not to mention that people's anticipation for the album and the hype was unrealistically high, that people were slightly letdown because it wasn't some "next to Jesus" experience and even complained about it having way too many features even with songs that barely had Snoop in it.
It became in retrospective a certified classic and people who downed it was tripping... but that was indeed the general consensus of that moment. People's expectations were WAY TOO HIGH along with it was a rushed product that Dre wasn't ready to released it. I think either Suge or Interscope overruled Dre's hesitancy.
That album was a instant classic just like Ready to Die, Me Against the World & The Chronic. The source was wrong more than right is all I’m saying
Doggystlye is a classic and one of the best albums ever. That wasn't point. The POINT is because of how huge and impactful and immediately influential THE CHRONIC was, people's EXPECTATIONS for Snoop's album was UNREALISTICALLY HIGH added onto the fact that Snoop caught a murder charge which put pressure to get the album DONE and released ASAP. So, Doggystyle was technically an UNFINISHED album due to that.
As I said, THIS SONG was supposed to be on the album and even was in the album credits.:
Wack a old dusty lame
And Just Blaze a pure cornball
And Just Blaze a pure cornball
The album has been my fav since I first heard it in 96, and got major play around my way, and I’m from Detroit.
I mean....that's all fine and well but the album had song placement on a major movie soundtrack....guest appearances by Mary J. Blige and BIG....and still struggled to go gold:
JAY-Z's 'Reasonable Doubt' Was Not an Instant Classic
So

So much revisionist history goes on nowadays, its...
To be clear, its not just Wack, either. I see it too often, from posters within these threads.I was in Junior High, in 98'. The ONLY competition to Jay in 98', was X. Posters in here, listing Nas.
Nas lost some sort of sizzle in ppls eyes, for being flip-floppy, musically.
Jay and X were the toast of the town, period. Whether X was bigger than Jay, is another argument, but X was in everything (music, movies, etc). Cash Money was certainly ascending, and nggas were fukkin wit them heavy (as Southern artists). Juvy was definitely up there (as something new to the scene), but he wasn't X and Hov level.
If anything, it was their movement (refreshing), as a whole, garnering that level of popularity...
with Juvy as the spearhead. Again, this was 1998, when NY, was NY, when it came to hip-hop. NY had all the heavyweights, and was the bastion (Jay, X, Nas, Pun, Lox, Cam, Puff etc...). Baby may have felt how he felt, but I'm sure nggas were payin Hov and Rocafella homage. Maybe not Baby, Juvy, Slim, etc...they were grown men. But Wayne, Turk, and BG were youngins. Them nggas were probably star-struck, at them east coast titans...
Wayne certainly had a thing for Jay, as he ascended, down the line. He knew what it was, and did wanna be up under the ROC imprint. Like others already said, WTF is Wack even arguing about, once Just said he was there?Wack is a clown.
A few things to make clear. DMX was THAT DUDE. That's not even questioned. Jay-Z in '98 ascended to be that dude because he had THREE simultaneous hits going at the same time. But we just aren't going to ignore how huge OUTKAST was. We DAMN SURE ISN'T going to play LAURYN HILL who was bigger than ALL OF THEM at the moment. It is FAIR to put Juvie right there because, out side of NYC... Juvie was EVERYWHERE. He sold JUST AS MUCH as DMX and damn near sold as much as the Hard Knock Life album. Juvie had BIGGER SINGLES than DMX at that time. NYC may look at it different, but the rest of the country... go to the clubs and the many hoods of USA, and I know this because of being in the Army at the time and been to many states across the country. JUVIE was that DUDE. Cash Money and NO LIMIT dominated damn near everywhere back in those days. So it is a FAIR argument to make.
People wasn't calling Reasonable Doubt a classic. They WAS calling Vol.1 a disappointment, but it wasn't because of how they hailed Reasonable Doubt, but because Jay-Z was caught up in the whole PUFFY movement and tried to make music sounding like that. Just because Jay-Z had the vintage sophomore jinx doesn't automatically elevated Reasonable Doubt to classic status at that time.

Really out chea
This shows how truly lame Chattyhouse is and how dumb alotta these takes sound out loud.
Most of these dudes ain't never been outside outside really and it shows because they think they can get away with all kinds of fly talk.
That and some dudes just be ready to die on the worst hills ever.
All bad and a terrible combination. That app literally gets worse by the week.
