48. "i know you guys are moving slow and sure" In response to In response to 47 Sat Apr-12-03 07:34 AM
a lot of rap albums come out. a lot of rappers and not many even get to gold (which you will reach). AND not many rap acts from 94 dropped new albums in 2002 that got any attention at all (basically you guys and Nas, right? from that year anyway). hell, be proud. i'd be dancing in the street if i were you.*
i'd still like to hear thought and jay z over a vintage big daddy kane tempo track trading lines. hell, with kane on it too.
but i'm just a dreamer...
* and Com, to drop a debut album in 1992 and have a hit single ten years later? how rare is that? i think he may even be ALONE in that category. i would add busta, but LONS was a group. com did it solo the whole time.
side note: jay put out a double album featuring dre, lenny kravitz, pharrell, sean paul, etc...i mean, it was a collection of hit singles in the making...expecting your album to compete with that on a sales basis is ridiculous...but if you guys could get some high-powered features next time...and i don't mean nelly (bless her soul), I'm thinking the Blond Guy or Jigga himself.
