Cormega rapped on "Affirmative Action" as part of The Firm. He was gone before the album`s first session. Here`s the lore 📞
Nas, AZ, Foxy Brown and Mega linked on It Was Written in 1996. By recording time, Nature had his seat.
October 21, 1997: The Album debuts at No. 1, 147K week one. "Phone Tap," a Dre beat, never charted and still became their signature.
Beef on wax, then Times Square 2006: Nas, Mega and Foxy on one stage. In 2020 "Full Circle" finally gave Cormega his Firm verse 👑

12 years old, writing a rap about a boyfriend lost to crack. 16 when she cut it. MC Lyte saw the epidemic before the industry did. 🎤
Born October 11, 1970 in Queens, raised in East Flatbush. "I Cram to Understand U (Sam)" led off Lyte as a Rock (1988), widely called the first full-length solo album by a woman MC. 💿
Then "10% Dis." Then "Ruffneck," the first Gold plaque for a solo woman rapper. Every woman MC who went platinum after walks a road Lyte paved. 👑

Nas waited 27 years after Illmatic for his first Grammy. Tribe`s final album went No. 1. Who says legends wash? 👑
Illmatic dropped in 1994. On March 14, 2021, King`s Disease, produced by Hit-Boy, won Nas Best Rap Album.
🎙️ Nov 11, 2016: Tribe`s We Got It From Here... debuted No. 1 on the Billboard 200, their first since 1996. Phife passed that March. His verses are all over it.
Longevity is earned. 👇 Who never washed? Drop the vet who still goes hardest.

One verse on Illmatic. That`s all AZ needed to get signed. 💿 Doe or Die dropped October 10, 1995, and it still sounds expensive.
🎙️ "Life`s a Bitch" was the only guest verse on Nas` debut. 18 months later AZ had the No. 1 R&B/Hip-Hop album in the country.
🎛️ Pete Rock, Buckwild, Ski, L.E.S. on the boards. "Sugar Hill" went Gold. It hit the mafioso lane before Reasonable Doubt did.
📼 Same day, KRS-One dropped his self-titled. DJ Premier laced "MC`s Act Like They Don`t Know" with the Teacha going at rappers chasing pop money.
Two NYC records, one Tuesday. Which stayed in your rotation? 👇

You know the music. Do you know the four crafts that built it? 🎧🎤 Hip-hop started in the Bronx as a culture, not a genre.
🎧 DJing: Kool Herc ran two copies of the same record at 1520 Sedgwick Ave in 1973 to stretch the break.
🕺 Breaking: b-boys and b-girls got the name dancing on that break. Paris 2024 put it on the Olympic stage.
🎤 MCing: it started as the DJ`s hype man before it became the headline act.
🎨 Graffiti: subway cars as rolling galleries. Hip-hop`s whole visual language starts there.
Which one do you rep? Street art prints and culture tees, link in bio.

October 9, 2001. Two Georgia rappers drop debuts the same day. The one that flopped ended up naming a genre. 🍑
Bubba Sparxxx had Timbaland in his corner and Organized Noize on the boards, the Dungeon Family architects behind OutKast. Dark Days, Bright Nights went No. 3 and Gold. 🔊
T.I.`s I`m Serious had DJ Toomp, Lil Jon and the Neptunes, and still stalled at No. 98. Arista let him walk. 💿
Two years later: Trap Muzik. The rest is Southern history. 🔥
25 years on, which debut are you running back? Full story at the link in bio.

Donuts dropped February 7, 2006. Dilla`s 32nd birthday. Three days later he was gone. Twenty years on, the swing still runs everything 🍩
Much of Donuts was built from a hospital bed. A sampler, a portable record player, a crate of soul 45s. 31 tracks that taught a generation to play off the grid 🎛️
Now Busta Rhymes has built Dillagence II out of Dilla`s unreleased archive. 19 tracks, blessed by the Yancey estate, with Common, Anderson .Paak, and Lil Wayne on board. Now on wax and apparel 💿
Chop a soul loop. Leave it a little drunk. Change the genre.
Wear the culture. Link in bio.
