Depends what you mean with Hit but I guess charts.
Nas ' Rule to me should had been poppin on the billboards. It was a hit to me.
also nas shoot em Up.
That shit was poppin. Street hit. Nas should had dropped a video with all his niggas in it.
Shoot Em Up was on the b-side of Nastradamus, which was a single.
Rule has absolutely no sub-bass.
I don't know what New York producers and engineers were thinking in the early 00s. There's a handful of albums from that era that would be 5 mics if they had some sub-bass.
edit. Also, Nas raps too fast for most people. I know people that say they can't understand Nas.
fucked with this heavy...
DTP couldn't break artists for shit...smh
Probably his most commercial-sounding track (with a familiar interpolation) in his discography and it didn't sniff the charts lolVERY surprised this didnt take off
Jeezy - Bottles Up
Instant repeat don't know why it didn't take off
