all of those ny niggas that were going to 'save hip haap'
why? Because Fishscales era was the lowest creative point in hip hop history. That was the 'who's better, 50 cent or Nas?'/ 'Rakim ain't getting money tho' era. laffy taffy. snap music, hypy, trash attire. Charles Hamilton. etc Hip Hop was left dazed and confused by the fall of the traditional record label and rise of the internet. it was also the 'I don't be on the internet blogging and shit' era where rappers felt particularly proud of being computer illiterate.
So in the midst of this storm, to make an album with words and sounds made you a genius. I honestly feel More Fish was a superior album to fishscale but it's shitty name won't allow it to be great. Ghost made a mediocre album in at shitball time which solidified him as Top 5 DOA in rap.
