Music News: Pusha T - Notorious B.I.G. Was the Greatest Rapper Who's Ever Lived

It started with r&b albums. You make as many songs as possible then pick the best 13-15. The goal is to keep recording because as an artist you always create and sometimes you crank out the hit you were missing. The crazier part is even after an artist passes away those songs never see the light of day

It be sounding like they do back in the day I felt like they for sure saw the light of day….i remember Boxden and them drops…but shit maybe they was meant to be drops just to test the water….makes sense though what you saying. That’s probably when the music started declining….for some.

No, the output available for consumption isn't because the artists are losing skills but because the industry is trying to make music that's easy to consume and create. Folks will talk about Amazon burning through employees in New York but ignore how many the school district has failed.

How many songs and verses do you have as you wait for your big break? I have 6 classic verses in my collection that would get me signed in any era. I have distributors waiting to begin selling my limited edition t shirts and jeans with the matching sunglasses available for my dearest fans.

Maybe. However, the issue is whether Jimmy is more profitable than Nas now and what is the context?

Quincy can talk about making money in the 70s and 80s but how much can he make today? We have attached too many of our memories to capitalism. The intro to Chief Keef’s Love Sosa is indicative of our eventual demise.

Jimmy is short term profit imo crumbs from jewelers etc
Nas is a long term high return profit and building generational wealth

I ALWAYS gave Push his props. Thankfully its well documented. Now address how many on here finally came around after saying King Push was just coke raps.

I've discussed all this before the black baba yaga tried his best to stay in solitude and let the others do the work Push blueprinted but they weren't up to the challenge

so out came the sledge hammer.

...and the lawd wept.

That's a pretty terrible take. Pitchfork is the worst place for Hip Hop reviews going back to 2010 or so. I don't think the album is a classic, but it's way better than a 6.5, . I bet they listened to the unmastered leaked version .

It's a 7.5/8 in my estimation, due to Pusha and Nas being the highlights.

Nas has made some very smart investments as well I’m not a real big fan so I can’t speak on his tours etc but if he just walked away from music today,I wonder how they would mention him among the greats

Nas is a forever icon at this point. He could walk away and still be in the pantheon of emcees with that respect in any era shit. Not everyone loves his music, but that's subjective and personal. The story of Hip Hop can't be told without Illmatic, it just can't. The longevity and late life show up and show out is just icing on the cake. The business ventures are a testament to human growth that most did not desire to and or just didn't want to follow. I mean dude grew up in the projects and has to be worth $300 million plus.

Salute to that brother, he is Hip Hop. I hope we respect the totality of the story, not just argue over how shitty the Trackmasters were
