1996 my favorite year in hop hop. Easily 20 classic albums out that year.
TiL. Q tip said Nas career would have been ruined if they released Iww as is. I guess Steve Stoute had let him listen before release for feedback according to article. I kinda understand where he was coming from though. Iww was quite the departure from the illmatic sound.
Yeah those albums are opposites thematically but Iww is still really good.
TIL. Easy E had to talk Flesh Bone out of robbing elderly walkers in suburrban LA. LOL
No wonder he was always the one that was always locked up.
ahahaaah amazing. I need to get my READ on with the quickness. been listening to Too $hort albums all day though and it's hard to get away :spin:Quote:

TIL. Hasbro, the toy company, owns the back catalog of death row records.
Yeah, I wonder when they are going to drop the Suge Knight hanging Vanilla Ice off of the balcony playset?
