You guys have any guilty pleasure songs? Like, you know you’d be taking chance bumping it around anyone but it’s your jam lol.

Caught this joint on UnCut one night and its been in my library ever since

ASAP one of the best songs ever

The beat has stood the test of time


Also shout out to whoever posted the collab with Jay and Silk The Shoker
****** with NY bias get upset when folks from down south point out how Jay worked with artist from the south to push himself further


They act like that **** is a diss as if it’s not the obvious

I used Pretty Toes by Nelly for a IG story about Kelis
Girls was asking questions

Like how you didn’t hear that song from the first disc

I was thinking bout this the other day.
Wayne, Jeezy & 50 are the most recents guys that you could compare it to.
But I'd say X in 98 is the only real rival.

96’ Pac clears.

I been playing Phillys Most Wanted and they were nice. I remember I had a cousin at Rocafella telling me Jay was trying to get them. They had the same issues the Clipse had. They could rap but half that album is garbage Neptunes beats. The singles seemed huge, maybe the album was delayed or something and the sales got ****** up.

Yeah, didn't like the beats on this.

 

[Magic33]

Lodi Dodi. Mona Lisa. The Rulers Back. His first album is an arguable classic.

Not arguable

and La Di Da Di was on Doug's project



bonus

 

[Magic33]

I always wondered why go go didn't pop. Can't say I liked it initially



Hurby used it a lot

 

[blacklion23]

96’ Pac clears.

I wanted to go there. Based on the time there are some rappers from back in the day that might clear.
98-99 DMX might clear too if all this was in a years time. 2 albums, killing features, movie
98 Master P multiple projects, movie, short NBA stint in the end(99)
95 BIG got all the awards and accolades, was everywhere…features, Martin, The Show, music was being played everywhere
99 Juvie 2 classic projects (400 Degreez Nov 98, Guerrilla Warfare), booty shaking anthem that still reigns supreme til this day, killed that Down Bottom feature
Run DMC 85 through 86 first hip hop platinum, one of the biggest if not the biggest crossovers in history, has everybody rockin Adidas
I was thinking 90 LL but I think his biggest year was probably 88

I feel like I’m playing a sports game, putting a team of legends together lol

 

[Magic33]

LL loves giving himself pats on the back

Hard to disagree if you know raps history. Rap doesn't give credit to it's pioneers.

He basically put Def Jam on his back and making it what it was and was raps first rap superstar and sex symbol.

Shouts out to Tee La Rock

 

[blacklion23]

Love this!!!

 

[Dave East]

Favorite song on the album. Storytelling and that SWV sample.

Rich Harrison tried his damnedest to bring go-go rhythms to the mainstream

Had two huge songs but then no one else followed suit

 

[Dave East]

It’s crazy they wasted three of Pac’s songs on a garbage double disc soundtrack.

Made N, Starin Through My Rearview and Lost Souls.

Pac was in a zone, at his prime. So got damn sad we lost him. Crazy that he passed and people raided houses for music and Death Row didn’t have his **** properly stored. We should have had better albums after he passed. Not Makaveli 1–16 and sounding like ****.

Sexy Lady is the only Go Go song I ever liked. That song should have been huge. The Pac sample is the only reason I gave it a chance. Need the OG version on Apple Music.

Releasing two albums was a dope idea but ran into the same issues most have with double discs. Too much filler but both of them had joints. Suit was the better album but Sweat had a few too.

Ti is better than this?
