This album sold over 2,000,000 copies he had the summer of 96 on smash with this cd it wasnt slept on a classic reasonable doubt came out the same summer but Nas had it on lock

By slept-on, I mean that it wasn't given as much praise as Illmatic and wasn't considered great.

[J2theMillz]

what do you mean by "sleeper" album? that it's slept on?

[BF33210]

Yep.

[clowe310]

@lionzion22 , to protect it against those who try to devalue it by putting quotations on the word "flavor", just because the REALITY of hiphop doesn't coincide with someone's conceept of it,n who can't stand to be wrong n therefore desecrate ity by tryina go out the limb with stretched, exagerated reasoning and examples that don't hold a candle to the blazing truth that REAL hip hop is.Don't hate me, I'm representing hipp hop as what it is.It will reach into space music from Mars-STILL no diff.

@lionzion22 containing the sound of hip hop, and therefore none of those flavors are more real than the next, but the true HIP HOP flavor IS more real than all of those, INCLUDING jazz lol. We only need to go in circles if you keep missing the clue bus when it passes by, and I don't mind driving it in that circle as many times as it takes, to defend our ever so prescious hip hop,as our vital progressive agenda that challenges the status quo,n its  messages allow the under-privileged to be heard,

[Machetazo1]

@lionzion22 advance intellectually advance into the realms of VARIOUS African, Persian, and VARIOUS Native north, central, and south("american indian") flavors...which I will be the one to do (I HAVE been) but largely. Electronica and Dance has even been sampled. Freestyle the music genre has been sampled. But are all those places the originators and sound of hiphop? By FAR not and new orleans and jazz is no different. Jazz is not hipi hop so how could it be the sound of it.NONE of those are

[Machetazo1]

@lionzion22 everywhere AFTER, not to mention it began as disco innovation (Disco -ALSO ORIGINATING IN NYC - ;)There's a reason HIP HOP started in NYC without coincidence), defined itself as breakbeats first, thennnn 2 DECADES LATER sampling jazz from new orleans, hard rock from white america, classical from europe, Regggae from Jamaica, latin american music from -well, latin america!, Arab music from the middle east, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese music from those countries, and has yet to
