Goddamn, always get that uncomfortable douche chill when someone's attempting to condescend to me while not even really understanding what the fuck I was talking about but trust, you're really not as smart as you think you are here.

If you can't understand that what I said with that half a bar you keep harping in all that I wrote out there, it was just noting that despite people positing for years that Jay was off the radar on this album, it was in fact commercially viable upon release in addition to being great.....more of a success in that regard than another landmark album from about that same era but admittedly not capturing the zeitgeist of the dedicated rap fans in the same way despite that.

And yet & still here you are still hyping up that an indie album went 'Gold in three months' rather than 'platinum in a year' like that matters.

That & tossing the word 'stan' like a 16-year-old in the early 2000s.

Just uninspired discourse repeated ad naseum.
