really enjoyed this. the branding angle is the part a lot of reasonable doubt pieces skip over. people talk about it like jay was already hov, but you can hear him still deciding whether to be the coke rap realist or the crossover star, and that tension is what makes it hold up. 30 years later and it still sounds patient. nice work.
