Isn't the purpose of a classic album that it stood the test of time and have legs.

By the way, RD went gold quicker than Illmatic did, but let some of ya'll tell it RD had no impact.

wasn't Illmatic heavily bootlegged though ??

Ready to Die was more bootlegged and still went 3 times platinum

FACT
 
RD IS GREAT...BUT ITS NOT A GAME CHANGER...

ITS AN ESSENTIAL JAY ALBUM, NOT AN ESSENTIAL RAP ALBUM...

IF RD NEVER DROPPED...NOTHING WOULD CHANGE...

NOW IF THERE WAS NO OB4CL...THERE WOULD BE NO RD, DOE OR DIE, OR IWW...

JUST SAYING...
 
Even Nas had RD in his top 25 Complex favorite albums of all time...

Jay-Z Reasonable Doubt

Jay-Z, Reasonable Doubt (1996)

Label: Roc-A-Fella

Nas: “I seen this kid Jay, I already knew he was nice. I’m watching him come into the game and he delivered a lyrical album, a street album, and he grabbed his spot. A lot of people couldn’t do that. A lot of people that were putting out albums around the timeReasonable Doubt dropped are no longer around.

“He staked his claim. He showed everyone he was nice with his lyrics, he was nice with it. He came in the tradition of the New York streets, the way I did, the way Biggie did. He came in that way and he’s been holding it down ever since. If you listen to Reasonable Doubt, he made it happen.”

My favorite rap album and still to this day there isn't an album as lyrical. His word play was so far ahead of any other rapper
