|
Apr 04th 2012 | 111
|
| good point! |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 116
|
| Waaaaaaaaaaait that's all the same person??!? I have heard of |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 142
|
| yeah Tragedy, Craig G, Blaq Poet.. they go wayback.. |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 154
|
| Nas was more marketable & accessible & even he didn't take off at 1st |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 129
|
| I think that's simplifying things a lot |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 148
|
| Were you born in 1986? |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 151
|
| Nas wasnt inherently more marketable than Trag |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 158
|
| Uh I already gave you an example why he is "inherently" more marketable |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 165
|
| if age/looks is your argument than Trag WAS marketed the same way |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 168
|
| You need to go "Back to Reality" |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 169
|
| I think the disconnect is we are referencing 2 diffrent eras of Trag |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 171
|
| Fair enough. It isn't my place to speak on "Super Kid" era Trag |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 172
|
| yep...I never thought about it, but Nas DOES sound likeTragedy. |

Apr 03rd 2012 | 97

| I'd have to hear pinpointed examples...maybe it's Luda's delivery |

| Phonte's verse on "Yellow Lines" is a good example, imo: |

|
Apr 03rd 2012 | 80
|
| MC Juice from Chicago wrote "Summertime" |
|
Apr 04th 2012 | 123
|
| The flow on there and the multis, and his voice were 110% Rakim |

Apr 04th 2012 | 147
