In 1995 Jay Z used to rap like fu shnickens. That giggity, wiggity, wackily flow. No drug references. No pies no cakes. How do you go from wearing Jaz chains driving dame pathfinder to Versace and lexus overnight? This the shit Pac and Nas is talking about but you short sighted Jigga bitches can't understand. Niggas wasn't falling for this shit in 1996. We not talking revonist I'm talking summer 1996 nobody was worried about RD. He hopped on the mafioso train late. Rae, grap, az had that gambino shit on the mixtapes in 94 and albums out by spring 95. RD was late to the party by end of summer 96. Hell mase and puff started the shiny suit era in fall 96 can't hold me down. Rd was a very generic album at the time it dropped and hasn't aged well at all. 9/10ths of Jay Z fans did not know this album existed until 2001 including usmarin3. All I ask for is one of you motherfuckers to come up with a detailed arguement on why this album is a classic and since 2009 not one camel humper has posted over 4 sentences on why you fags worship this bullshit album. You Jay z fans can catch feelings all day. I remember the parks, cookouts, running the streets, living life OUTSIDE in 1996. Pac, bone, fugees, Nas. Nobody was talking, interested or bumping RD. I swear to life I never heard a nigga bumpin RD in a car in my life
Typed all that shit and still didn't tell how it isn't a classic and how exactly did it go gold if no one was listening to it.. So 500000 niggas just had 15-20 dollars and was like "I was gonna wipe my ass with this money but ill just get this.....wait.... Who the fuck is this nigga?????? Jay.......... Z..... Tf???? Fuck it, I'll cop it anyways"
Compare that to the 22 million people who bought The Score in the same summer and you can see once again why nobody gave a fuck about Jay Z in 96.
