    “9/11 is just one day”

    Can't believe what I read

  • The true answer is...
    Jay made rap, Ye made hip hop

    Ye was just always more pop influenced, so ofc it would sell better.

    It’s not like Kanye was an unknown name either. People knew he was producing a lot of Jay hits

    People weren't in the mood for that kind of music during 9/11

    Kanye was huge even back then, Jay was already a household name, so the excitement was gone when he dropped

  • Sep 21, 2020

    I’m old enough to remember when both of these dropped tbh I should get off this site

    Immediately post-9/11 was a covid quarantine where all the businesses were still open, but culture has to be censored because someone flew a plane into a tall office in NY and the pentagon blew themselves up the same day, it was so weird and muslims and indians were attacked and demonized indiscriminately. The nation turned to one man:
