It's crazy how easily the public can be brainwashed. I wish i could snap my fingers and everyone on any hiphop message board could wake up in 1994. People around my age (33) would remember how much of a nonMOTHERfukkinFACTOR illmatic was and be reminded what everyone was really bumpin back then and younger cats would realize how much illmatic's greatness is a mere myth. Motivated by east coast publications as they hated the west coast domination era.

Here are some the albums that were being bumped in 1994,all of these had male and female fans. They all had songs you'd here out apartments/home windows,cars rolling by. If you was packed on public transportation and you had to sit next to a nikka with a loud walkman,you heard these albums

^^^^thats your history. im only 24 but ive heard from dudes in their 30s (at least here in queens) that they had lines to cop the album on release date. howre you gonna have premo, large pro, pete rock, q tip on production and nobody cares? in 94 at that. i remember hearing about people getting mad that it was written was too commercial. why would they say that if they never heard illmatic? or didnt bump it? am i missing something? i understand what im posting here is hearsay from old ny heads but i mean they are pretty respectable but i see the bias, so, any other old heads around?

People who are saying Illmatic is garbage and over rated are not explaning why it is?. It was perfect, just one guest, beats were banging for 94, it cohesive, and the lyrics were on point.

 

[semicko82]

Ready to Die dropped in 95 by the way

i'm not saying they didnt make any good beats,but they wasnt shyt in 94'.

So if gold- and platinum selling producers weren't sh*t in 1994, who was?

Beats werent shyt special,nas has skills but the album was boring and sounds like one big freestyle with the beat changing. Life's a bytch,aint hard to tell,world is yours was my joints. but the album was meh.
Everyone who says it was great,typically give bullshyt reasons as to why it is. "it was perfect,had one guest bla bla". Those beats weren't shyt.

i know yo bad,but i'm glad you did it. showed me how much of an idiot you were and showed me i know this shyt waaaay better than you and you might as well leave the thread.
