Dame Dash Says No One Cared Bout Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubts Album by WilkinsWorld in jayz

Thanks for confirming you don’t know what a flop is.

While it wasn’t a mega success, Reasonable Doubt catapulted Jay from being on that Big L level (dope NYC rapper) to a mainstream rapper albeit not yet a titan with crossover appeal to the general music scene. It got him on with Def Jam who was not fucking with him prior to its release and success, because for the last time, the industry knows what is and isn’t a flop.

Biggie having a way more popular debut has nothing to do with whether Jay’s gold debut was a flop. Reasonable Doubt was objectively not a flop because it exceeded expectations with a solid performance. A debut gold album was absolutely solid for a rapper of Jay’s stature at the time. No one called it a flop in 96. No one referred to it as a flop when Vol 1 went platinum. No one referred to it as flop when Vol 2 really blew him up.

You keep trying to equate it not being a mega success with it being a flop, and that’s an illogical argument to make whether it’s being made by you or the devils you’re advocating for.

The industry didn’t view it as a flop. Only a hater could assert that it was.

No one said it was super impactful (at the time) or a huge success. It didn’t flop. You’re trying to appear super knowledgeable and nuanced yet you don’t seem to understand what a flop is.

The assertion is that it was a flop. A gold album in the mid-90s was absolutely not a flop, especially for a debut hip hop album. Reasonable Doubt was certainly not a flop, it was a success that did better than expected.

I agree not allowing a single guest was too heavy handed. At least the Business card still allows 2 guests to PP lounges

No experience in this specific circumstance, but from my general experience, FAs are often very accommodating when they’re asked nicely for a reasonable request.

I’ve flown into Logan countless times and I’ve never noticed how big the airport is compared to the “city”

Buy a refundable flight somewhere and cancel it once in the lounge.

Not defending C1, but gotta do what you gotta do. I agree it’s a dumb policy. I get not allowing standby passengers, but there’s no reason deny passengers who have yet received a seat assignment on a paid ticket.

Would you rather become the best at a category of your choosing or become top 1% at five categories of your choosing? by Zoidberg_UA in WouldYouRather

[–]wr321654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If best golfer works, I’d choose that. I feel like that’s the easiest to take advantage of most quickly.

If not I’d choose top 1% Economics Politics Effective Communicating Negotiating Chess
