Re: Reasonable Doubt.
I didn't get it for ages. Compared to most similar albums of the age it seems vulgar at first. There is no dirt to it. Even the biggest, most epic records of the era have their battles fought in the streets. Jay swoops in as the Godfather, already positioning himself at the top, without any track record or anything to show for it. Cuban Linx is Scarface, from the start. Life After Death is very much post-Ready To Die, and starts with Biggie potentially giving up all he's earned just to avenge his fallen comrade. Reasonable Doubt doesn't really have that. He is untouchable and he is better than you. I think Jay learnt his mistakes very quickly here, even over did it with his 'ok i get it, i'm not better than big' modesty.
That said, once you get used to it as a one off from his career, as the start of this insane untouchable bravado rap, making records with Mary and Big and Premo from the off, you have to admire the boy's confidence. That and its fun as hell, 22 twos and brooklyns finest can't help but make me smile.

Next album (last for the day) is gonna cause some sweet-ass controversy. And hopefully get a certain ILM poster explainin' and defendin' like never before
― Mansun was where I fucked up (acoleuthic), Thursday, 6 May 2010 00:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I say this because what few ILM posts there are on the band are pretty much blanket negative, except for this dude's.

― Drugs A. Money, Monday, 28 April 2008 23:23 (2 years ago)
I think Remy Zero is the polar opposite of punk.
― Clarke B., Tuesday, 12 February 2002 01:00 (8 years ago)
seriously guys...Remy Zero's first album dropped a year before OK Computer, and is so much better (and was kind of a defining influence on the best-album-of-the-90s standby)
forget the Coldplay-before-Coldplay hype, that came later...first album is Southern post-rock and thrilling shoegazer with all sorts of shifting sonic textures...

reasonable doubt is like rap music for aristocrats at a party. ladies in white satin dresses drinking martinis, exorbitant fish tanks.
― ayo for dyao (samosa gibreel), Thursday, 6 May 2010 00:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Jay's flow on "Friend or Foe" is so conversational that the first time I heard it, I didn't even realize he was rapping until halfway through it. Also it is his scariest song, because Jay-Z was never scary because he was tough, he was scary because he was smart, and on "Friend or Foe" he hasn't out-toughed his nemesis, he's outsmarted them, which rings much truer to form than any gunplay he's ever rapped about.
