Apr 04th 2012 | 154
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Nas was more marketable & accessible & even he didn't take off at 1st |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 129

![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) I think that's simplifying things a lot |

![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Nas wasnt inherently more marketable than Trag |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 158
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Uh I already gave you an example why he is "inherently" more marketable |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 165
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) if age/looks is your argument than Trag WAS marketed the same way |

|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) I think the disconnect is we are referencing 2 diffrent eras of Trag |

Apr 04th 2012 | 171
|
![](./images/middle_mesg_level.gif) ![](./images/last_mesg_level.gif) Fair enough. It isn't my place to speak on "Super Kid" era Trag |
|
