But when it first came out a lot of people wasn't feeling it. But for me.. I like all his albums, He definitely have that Marcy swag. I'm from Tompkins down the block.
To this day my favorite Jay Album. Everything sounded perfect then as it is still does. The Beats with the perfect samples and the way Jay rhymed. Yeah, some of his later albums became more successful and famous but there is something about this album which is unmatched!
Y’all really hurting about Dame. That relationship is done. He probably didn’t want to talk or they axed him bc they don’t need with each other. I have never liked DD, but I respect his hustle. If they ever patch things up, it so won’t be the same. As you grow and evolve you can’t take everyone with you. I have definitely lost several people along the way. It doesn’t feel good, but it just is. I wish them well, but we outgrew each other. That all
I'm 65 years old., Now that's how you describe this situation. But if it wasn't for Jay Z, Dame wouldn't have any Hustle. He didn't do it before and really not after.
😂😂 Why?! Because he said he is? It’s obvious this was a collective movement. Dame was a manager because his uncle gave him a group to manage so he played his primary role in managing. Jay had the talent so his played his primary role in curating the music. And Biggs brought in financial support when record labels wouldn’t sign them and so Jay could step away from the dope game. If you listen to the music you would understand this. They had a great run. Unfortunately Dame can’t take how it ended. All look to be doing pretty well for themselves so one guy having the “brains” doesn’t add up.
@@Gw19838 thank you💯👈🏿finally someone who was there. You can tell the dudes that wasn’t even around or born at that time. They listen to one person and run with it. Everyone that was around understands why dame isn’t there. Has nothing todo with doing same bad. Dame played his self with that attitude towards record labels.
Man I'm from Tompkins PJ's down the block from Marcy. I was just saying in my comment that Memphis Bleek definitely have that Marcy swag. I mean Marcy have their own way of talking. Jay-Z also put a lot of it in his rhymes.
One of my top 3 cd’s I think I played out coming of age and politics as usual nonstop everyday To be honest how he did his concerts with this CD reminds you of a dope tiny desk segment
Jay is top 10 in everything he did. Rap, business and as a Blackman. He made his make in a rare way. It is easy to think you are the main piece when you are with people like that. The success gon make you arrogant only to find out you are nothing without him when he leaves. Do you guys really know how rare a jay z is to think dame was that important? Gtfoh
Reasonable Doubt is the second greatest rap album of all time right behind Nas It Was Written album. A true masterpiece of work and the hustla’s bible.
This documentary got Tidal and Roc Nation written all over it . Of course they not gonna include Dame Dash in due to conflict of interest. Dame would sue Jay Z and his companies for permission and rights.
Reasonable doubt, damn….Such a nostalgic feeling every time i listen to it. Dropped the summer of 96, I was 16. The black boom box blasted song after song at the courts in the daytime and then again in front of someone’s crib or building when we was chilling at night. Even the females was rapping the lyrics along with us
Word. I was 16 as well. I actually went to the store on Main st in Orange N.J. to grab Nocturnal by Heltah Skeltah. This cat was in there like, "that Jay-Z is good too." I was like, "Who is Jay-Z?" I took his word for it, copped it, and was Hov fan forever from that day!
Sonically “Life after death” is my favorite album but when it’s comes two the literature of a hiphop album, “Reasonable Doubt” might be a cut above all…
All I’m going to say is Jay Electronica should’ve been the next Jay Z that’s all I’m saying every time I see his face it just baffles me because I don’t know what happened to his career or why he disappeared so abruptly , he is truly a talented being. So is Jay.
I live around the way from where Jay Z is from.. I'm from Tomkins projects down the block from Marcy.. For me Jay has always been the tightest lyricist in the rap game., I mean listen to his words. COME ON MAN!!! Plus Marcy had their own way of talking., just listen to Memphis Bleek. Matter- of- fact Marcy, Tompkins Block party is coming up in August.
All I hear is DAME DAME DAME! All I see is Jay Jay Jay! As a person who grew up with every ROCAFELLA 💿!! This hurts because Jay/Dame/Biggs raised the 80’s babies
Truth be told…most people didn’t and don’t listen to reasonable doubt lol. People suck this album to seem like real Jay fans. It’s taboo like not having Jay and Pac in your top 5 lol. Let’s keep it real majority of people outside of New York didn’t REALLY know about Jay til Vol.1 & 2
I from Texas Houston to be exact... I been listening to Jay when he was with jazz rapping fast with Hawaiian shirts on with the flat top opening up for big daddy kane... then I seen him with ceaser cut and flow was extremely slowed down with boss man talk dope boy speaking....
