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.

>>That's great return on that album, it was a commercial
>success
>>at the time (though it would pale in comparison to his
>>subsequent album's performances) particularly since in a lot
>>of people's eyes he had come out of nowhere and had put out
>>the record themselves because companies didn't know what to
>do
>>with the album promotionally so Dame/Jay/Bigs basically
>>handled it & things worked out fairly well for a stretch.
>>
>>The crux of the message remains.
>>
>>I don't need to 'brag' about Jay-Z's record sales nor do I
>>need to tell you that is what makes Reasonable Doubt a great

>>don't really need dressing up.

>>>I'm actually laughing over here.

>>>What's wrong with platinum in 6 years? You were just
