Never really gave it any deep thought. Dont have an answer currently
Hard knock life vol 2 was ass
Besides reservoir dogs album has no play back value today

my understanding is that hip-hop is the culture (MCing/rapping + DJing +Beatboxing + Breakdancing + Graffiti)
rapping is just one element of that....BUT most people use it interchangeably
1. Nature used to smoke Nas boots
2. In My Lifetime Vol.1 is not as bad as everyone says.
3. Clue Freestyles were better than the actual album cuts with the same verses that released later on.

And that's okay
But they are NOT the same thing
And if your going to use that to critique you gotta know the difference
Record sales are important
Not THE most important
But they matter and can be included in a rap debate up until the streaming Era.
To not acknowledge POPULARITY and accessibility doesn't make sense
It's just not the be all and end all.

The best rapper is not necessarily the best song creator
A producer and a beat maker is not the same thing
But you CAN be both at the same time.

I can accept ghostwriting cause this is the music BUSINESS.
The first real hip hop classic was ghostwriting
I see you Caz
But you can't be top ten MC
But you can be top ten rapper.

The hood does love Eminem
Lost Boyz dance is one of the most iconic elements in hip hop history
while I think it's probably Spliff Star?
Especially because of longevity and perfect stage presence
Flavor Flav and Freaky Tah RIP are probably the greatest hype men ever.
Because they were vital to not only the live performances and videos
But actual classic records

The streets matter more,what people are listening to,radios aka bluetooths,phones now and what their playing in their cars mattered the most back in the days and still to this day.If something is hot,you're going to hear it or hear about it some how,even if it's bad fucking news(rapper killed) and an example of that was XXXXXion dude from Florida didn't know nothing about him til he was killed and I still haven't heard one song that I know is his.
XXXXion is a terrible example cause he was on the cover of a few magazine but people on the internet talk about the XXL yearly rap lineup but no one really reads magazines.

I didn't say the streets didn't matter or matter more
I'm saying it's ALSO a criteria to be considered and shouldn't be dismissed when someone wants to prove a point.
Because I agree with you and usually all that you saying translates to sales somehow someway
But that one album was perfect though
Vol 1 is better than vol 2 imo
spliff was annoying as fuck and unnessary to busta rhymes whose energy didn't need a hype man. Bentley Farnsworth was a better hype man....yeah I said it!!
Ill say this, busta woulda been busta without spliff. Public enemy woulda been the same.
Lost boyz would not have popped without tah, he put the flavor on them LB songs

Ok now you trying too hard
You see the kids convinced me to return up in here
Please don't make me really block this sh*t.
Spliff Star slander?
For shame.
I'm a lost Boyz die hard and agree with that part...
But not the preceeding.
Chuck and Buss themselves will tell just how much those 2 men contributed to their careers, tours and live performances.
They really matter.
fuck spliff
flava was the silly counterpart to chuck d's super seriousness... it balanced them out...even if you didn't have flav himself youd still need that element.
Nah Nasir Jones wrote it
Bro...
How you starting a hip hop discussion thread
And challenging folks
But you don't know a whole lot of facts about this culture and music
I was going along with the joke, but he did write getting jiggy wit it
You didn't start seeing spliff around until busta second album, he was already who he was gonna be.
Public enemy has so many songs that have nothing to do with flav.
Tah was on every lost boyz song.
Even the features.
This song aint shit without tah
