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

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.

What albums from the west coast that sold like illmaitc or ob4cl do you consider classic?

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

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

I love skee lo i wish,but i wouldnt call it a classic

YOU'D PUT THOSE ON THE SAME LEVEL AS ILLMATIC AND OB4CL?

BTW,too $hort has atleast 5 albums better than born to mack

But were talking about albums that didn't sell as good but still considered classics. For West Coast music, those albums I've listed were underrated classics but sell low at the time like Illmaitc or ob4cl

i'm talking about the whole album. The single is definitely a classic

none get ob4cl/illmatic props. ras kass sounds like one of them and doesnt count

the major issue with the "it was only big in NYC" replies are...while sort of true.... you have to keep it in the context of back then and not how it is today...... remember in 97-time frame, New York controlled a big portion of the total hip hop market share in fact, that may of been the peak of it influence wise..and consumption of Hip hop wasn't the internet or youtube anything like that, it was radio, vibe/source/XXL, rap city, BET, MTV...

at the time, MTV mostly played jiggy sh*t like puff daddy and mase so that was the tier 1 as far as crossover stuff..so was it that big? no...it wasn't "crossover"..............was it big with the yo mtv raps, rap city, source /XXL crowd....absolutely... and that wasn't just regulated to NYC

 

[Soundbwoy]

it was highly regarded in hip hop circles but never considered a classic, the hype for The reunion was huge

 

[nieman]

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

A dub off a bootleg.

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

Ob4cl didn't flop... not a big smash but it didnt flop.
