Niggas can bump your shit and it not take over the state. That’s all we saying.
2026 mindset
Brotha in 1995, dudes weren't listening to different artists every other day or bumping different shit all willy nilly.
The dude album dropped in July 28, Bone dropped July 25th, I wanna say, you still had other albums that came out that year that folks were still playing "bigger artists or an artist that was known in that region".
Folks would cop 1 or not 2 albums at a time....They weren't copping 3 to 4 albums every Tuesday and listening to them shits all day long...You copped that major artist album or the one who had the banging single on the radio in your region and you bumped that album for at least 1 month or longer..
You wanna say niggas was bumping Raekwon album along with other folks album during that Summer on 95? Hell No.
That's why 2 weeks ago, I brought up a list of albums that were dropped that year in 1995, and in real time, the West Coast had their own artists of folks to listen to plus all of the major artists with HUGE radio singles that had dropped albums, like Bone.
In 1995, you copped an album and you played it for a least 2 to 3 months, not 2 to 3 days or 1 week like in 2026 and move on to another album.. No, because there wasn't another album dropping like that..
Music didn't flood the market like that in 1995
No Limit made niggas go to the record store on Tuesday every month and cop albums and started flooding the market, niggas wasn't doing that on the norm.
That's why I am saying that dude Raekwon album wasn't played in the WEst or South because we had our own music or we gravitated to the artists with the big singles out on the radio that we heard on our radio when radio played rap music.
If your single wasn't big on the radio in the region, that album wasn't being copped, point blank period.
So all of this talk about Rae's album being played across the South and West Coast in 1995 is bullshit..when the nigga aint even have a radio hit to be even played in the Southern market or West Coast market.
Bone had the Summer of 1995 in a chokehold and 2pac shit was still being played in the Summer Time, I remember Dear Mama killing that 95 Summer.
