Was CNN's War Report really that BIG when it Dropped?

[kwazzy100]

ob4cl is overrated too and meant nothing during it's run.

Yeah, the album that popularized Mafiaso Rap ment nothing mid 90s

Still fighting the good fight.

That was a good thing?
We giving props for biting. I rather give Kool g rap the props. i mean he was somebody,right?

Because the media has successfully brainwashed "the fans".
Also dont ask me dumb questions like WHY DO I CARE ABOUT INJUSTICES,cause i'm supposed to have a problem with it nikka.
In my mind illmatic,OB4cl,war report and a host of other east coast albums wernet classic in my life ,in my world. Those that oppose that thought will act as if it's a fact that they are, based off media influence.
Name me 10 west coast albums that sold like Illmatic and get similar props by "the fans" on here
or in the east coast media

If you can't,just STFU and go to sleep nikka

I don't know cause I wasn't listening to them. I was on the east coast before the internet. If it wasn't on a mixtape or bootleg on 52nd in philly, I didn't hear it

I would never look to the source or any other mag to tell me what's classic. I don't find most of their classics to be my classics. Besides illmatic, none of the albums named were deemed classics by them


But I also wouldn't shyt on what west coast people said was classic. If they told me mc eiht, quik, e40 and too short had classics that banged in Cali, I'd fukking believe them. Not try and tell them "nah that ain't no classic nikka" knowing I wasn't over there at the time.


Media bias influencing fans would mean too much. It would means fans never heard an album. Take Cuban links. They never heard it. But they read about it. And they keep reading and reading that it's a great timeless album. So they go listen to it. And even tho the music is avg to bad, they say it's amazing cause the media said so.

Nah. I'm not buying that. Maybe you can influence the weak. But there ain't gonna be generations of fans and rapper and media and execs, to all get behind avg music, for the sole purpose of hyping a fake classic

 

[filial_piety]

Nope...like illmatic is was more of a word of mouth classic in the streets.

everyone loved it and heard it...but it didn't really have any mainstream appeal...I think I remember seeing the commercial for the album on BET with the video TONY...a few times. But never on MTV or anything like that.

I still remember when they came out...and I still have the singles on my old mixtapes before the album was released plus my old cassette of the LP

"La La" got pretty big play on the radio though....but the other songs? Nah.

i heard and possessed illmatic in 94'mlike a few songs ,never loved the album. Never heard people bumping it

Jay Z bits Illmatic, but Reasonable Doubt was still a classic. Biggie bits The Chronic but Ready to Die was still a classic. What are you arguing about? Mafiaso is a sub genre

RD meant nothing,love the album though.
ob4cl flopped and was a small fry in 1995

 

[filial_piety]

in 93' quite a few songs of illmatic were considered underground classics before the official album dropped. It officially became my goat around then, but most people had no idea who nas was until IWW

Everyone I knew played it...especially the world is yours and it aint hard to tell.

rofl...i lived in Philly and had never been to nyc at that time...and all my friends loved it...everyone had a bootleg in their walkman whether they ere going home from school or about to ball on the court

Who's man's is this?

Illmatic flopped yet people still bumped to Nas . Do you take album sale as the main factor to why an album is good? Not the content? I bet you're a Drake fan.

Yea your thinking is definitely flawed. You too busy thinking about people and not yourself

You sitting here saying you LOVE RD. And yet can't bring yourself to call it classic cause you don't want to conform to imaginary media and their bullshyt

If you love something, it's a damn classic to you. nikkas love Cuban linx. And it ain't cause the source gave it 4 mics. They love it cause it's a great record. Cause CL nor RD got a classic rating
