Sold as much as Nevermind

>>127270204 (OP)
Yeah I bought this cd back in the day. Inexplicable

>>127270204 (OP)
Probably the most important album ever released if I'm being honest.

>>127270204 (OP)
it's better too

na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na
gettin jiggy with it

This. Will Smith probably helped rape Kurt back on that sizzling summer night in 92

>>127270269
It's really lazy to take the Kevin Nash joke and make it about Kurt instead.

>>127270204 (OP)
Better overall listen from top to bottom, and I say this without one speck of irony.

>>127270204 (OP)
>Hop in, anon.

>>127270286
But with Kurt it's actually true.

>>127270286
A lot of rapes were happening in 92. Something was in the air. Mostly interracial rape.

Contrary to what Zoomers believe, no one gave a shit about grunge in the 1990s, the decade was all about Eurodance and Merengue House.

I won a free copy of it in a radio station contest. I do not remember a single song off of this CD besides the ones they played on the radio. I also don't remember listening to it that many times either despite not owning a lot of music and basically being starved for it.

Actually no one gave a shit about Eurodance and Merengue House in the 1990s. The decade was all about vaporwave, dubstep and math jazz.

Nah it was the decade of disco

>zoomer just starting to realise that NPCs massively outnumber real people

Actually the 90s were a schizo decade where all kinds of different music was allowed to break through to the mainstream. Some of it was good. Some of it was terrible. You had to be there. Try playing OMC - How Bizarre for a zoomer and see if they get the appeal.

Depends whether or not you have an internal monologue.

They used to play this on the radio. In the United States. Yes eurodance was big. But so was Alanis Morisette. It's not like someone who heard this shit wouldn't know who Nirvana or Guns n Roses are either. People actually listened to the radio and watched videos on MTV. What you got exposed to had an element of randomness to it. Some songs were omnipresent. Other times you would hear things once or twice then never again unless for some reason it made enough of an impression on you that you went out to buy the CD.

Based. These anons are no stranger to a nice big willy if you catch my drift.

>>127270204 (OP)
wikipedia says Big willie it's 9x platinum. while Nevermind is 13x platinum.

Some more thoughts on why this album was so successful. Gettin Jiggy With It and Miami are iconic pop rap bangers. If you have never heard them you should listen to them. Absolute classics. I heard these songs on the radio so many times in the 90s that I never want to hear them again in my life. I can just think about them and the whole song plays in my head. It's fucking burned in. If I start listening to it it's just going to loop in my head all day. Everything else on that disc is dogshit. Don't waste your time. If you're really curious about this man's rap career beyond this album go back to the stuff with DJ Jazzy Jeff. Hip-hop history is all about might is right. You're never going to see this man compared to Rakim (whose style he admitted to copying on Summertime, great fucking track btw) but appreciate it for what it is. Will's goofy humor and some solid production for it's time.

It's not, though.
You should go get some therapy.

>>127270204 (OP)
the album that killed grunge

>>127272128
how many of nevermind were sold post suicide?
you forgot that little variable.

>>127273927
if Will offed himself shortly after this would've sold thriller numbers.

>>127270204 (OP)

but all the royalties went to the 70s funk acts he just straight up lifted the beats and choruses from

>>127270317

Kurt Cobain wasn't raped. He was murdered, and it was made to look like suicide.

No. If you clear the samples then it gets split depending on your agreement. It's only if you don't ask for permission then they get 100%.

You guys are all wrong. Brutal prog was the biggest genre of the 90s.

>>127270204 (OP)
My mom had this album, she'd play it often that same year it released. Good times.
