@YEA_waddup@ChaseDisPaper1@Dweather5@ComplexMusic I miss the days where hip hop was real street shit, I’m not with this performative bullshit. My dad told me about the days where NWA/Fugees was moving the needle I miss those days. No one making an impact like the artist our parents listen ed to.
@YEA_waddup@ChaseDisPaper1@Dweather5@ComplexMusic Watching that in real time was a real eye opener for me, I was around for the pac and biggie beef but wasn’t old enough to to understand it’s when game had his team shoot up 50 I finally understood the dynamic of beef in hip hop overall.
@ChaseDisPaper1@YEA_waddup@Dweather5@ComplexMusic Now a days we don’t see many ppl in rap spreading the wealth. It’s only Drake or Kendrick or whatever. Hip hop ain’t thriving cuz they’re aren’t many rappers pushing the needle atm. That’s the difference between now and 2005.
@YEA_waddup@Dweather5@ComplexMusic@ChaseDisPaper1 DMX dropped two albums in one year selling at $20 a pop. Both went number one. He was moving units like it was nothing even outshining Hov, hip hop back in the 90s-00s want really a movie you didn’t know what could happen
@YEA_waddup@Dweather5@ComplexMusic@ChaseDisPaper1 03-05 50 was a movie. Back then you could move 300,000 units and still not make number 1. Everyone was moving heavy units. Those days felt so raw and competitive
@Dweather5@ComplexMusic@ChaseDisPaper1 Ppl don’t realize that GRODT had the highest first week sales for a debut album, selling 872k first week on a debut is insane. It’s impossible to replicate those numbers
@realkingbaakir@Complex@GhettoBasquiat Ppl would make fun of our parents for working these types of jobs not knowing we went to Epcot or Six flags every year and they stayed in the house the whole summer.
@DatPiff I remember having to wait over an hour to download this tape. Me and my boy were getting so impatient we started bumping old Wiz the whole night
