I'm the OP.
youre referring to @mobbinfms. he corrected you when he said the climate had shifted. and that was the basis of this entire side-argument. so why are you still trying to push the argument? what is your deal? you puill this chit in every thread, no matter the topic or your poster in opposition. you argue to the death even after proven wrong. just shut up already.
LMAO @ rampant bootlegging beginning with "murda muzik".
and "we are the streets" was bootlegged heavier than that.
"murda muzik" was one of the more bootlegged pre-releases, but not one of the overall most-bootlegged.
by the time MM actually dropped, the climate had definitely shifted too far off.
when the climate shifts, and youre on the outside of it........youre bordering old school territory!!! it doesn't mean that ur washed up right then & there - if that's why youre in such denial.

Yeah I do have to say down in NC the album got heavy rotation both on the two major radio stations in the area (Wild Out and Ride or Die bytch) and people around town and in school were bumping it heavily. Mostly because of Jadakiss, but bumping it nonetheless.

BTW I thought Wild Out was one of the worst songs on the album and not a great single choice.

This post proves you don't know what you're talking about.
1) The climate shifted before and after Murda Muzik dropped and it still remains their most successful album. You're not old school if you're attracting new listeners even AFTER a major shift. Old school is when you're struggling to stay relevant because your style is outdated and as a result you aren't attracting any new listeners. There isn't much demand for what you're supplying and all you got left is a dwindling fan base that grew up on your music while everyone else grew a part from it. Bordering old school doesn't mean you're dropping your biggest album after the guard changed.
2) There's receipts of Murda Muzik being bootlegged to the point of them having to change the album. Yes, Murda Muzik, Nas's I Am, and Dre's 2001 were a part of the first wave of albums that got widespread bootlegged due to tech saavy assistance from Napster.
3) I don't recall The Lox having leaks to the point where the label was strategically making moves to curtail the bootlegging. That album wasn't that big of a deal.
Nobody's misquoting you. You fail to properly articulate your thoughts. When brought into question, you disgustingly try to "diagnose" those with opposing viewpoints with mental illnesses. Then you hide behind other posters when they attempt to try explain you labeling '99 Mobb Deep old school even though they were coming off their most successful album. He said you meant different climate and instead of saying that in the first place you labeled the old school. Big difference.

horrible choice for first single, boring video, beat sounded like a dollarstore version of Jikka My Nikka (Ryde Or Die)
bumping it heavy doesn't mean it's a phenomenal album. smarten up

I didn't say they were old school. I said they were BORDERLINE old school. I said BORDERLINE like 15 times already. if that's not articulate enough for you, then that's your problem.
youre the king or queen(whatever you are) of misquotes in every dam thread.
and I don't diagnose everybody with mental illnesses. I diagnose YOU......and that one dude in TSC that I can just tell, he wears a special shoe.
get the f*ck away from me.

that's not the point of the side-convo i was having with the poster that I'm referring to
youre weren't apart of that side-convo, and you prolly didn't even read it either, so why are you interjecting yourself?
this is the 2nd time you played yourself in 2 pages.
and yes, for the record, if something is being bumped heavily, then there must be something phenomenal about it - whether you personally agree with it or not.
I bumped We Are The Streets, Vol 2 Hard Knock Life and Puffy's Forever heavy when those came out...still some mediocre ass albums. liked some joints, laughed some off

it dropped at the tail end of the millennium.
perfect timing. especially when they performed it on BET on the new year's eve ruff ryder/cash money special.
as for the song itself, its one of my favorite cuts on there, particularly the extended album version.
