While I'm not big of a fan enough to call his 3 first albums dope (thought they were pretty meh) CCITG was straight fire.
He was only 18-19 when this dropped though, same with CCITG and he had moments of fire.
He was developing in a nice pace just like Weezy did, so that's why it's worth to wonder if that pace would've continued up until his early to mid 20s if it wasn't for the dope.
nah. BG wasnt developing. he was already developed. he was 19 at this point, but in rap years, he was more like 29. and i wouldnt even compare him to weezy cuz weezy will never put out the quality music that BG was droppin. BG was more like the old school artists who came out throwing haymakers and making classics in their teenage years. and you know once you start making LEGIT classics, theres nowhere to go but down, no matter how good the rest of your music is.
chopper city is a legit classic, and theres people that will argue to the death that the following 2 albums are better.
and dude was still able to have a renaiisance period in the mid-00s.
i cant really blame it on the dope. its just natural progression & regression. i think CMR burnt him out almost as bad as they did mannie. BG had the label on his back for a good 3 years, at least.
There's a certain level of shamelessness that separates Hov and percy, far as biting goes...Jay cares too much about perception to put outa blatant one to one carbon copy bootleg bite of a song, that's still in rotation when you bite it
He's the biter of biters
dog. jay-z stole other rappers' STYLES, claimed them as his own and ran with them for years. he even jacked from his own crew.
all master p does is take lil concepts and put his spin on them. hes gotten a bit more shameless in recent years but its so blatant, you cant even knock it. only people he really did dirty was dru down/luniz & UNLV. and even then, he just ran with their concepts, and made completely different songs out of them.
Percy's perpetual biting extends waaaay past "internet rhetoric"...the actual parties themselves (from Yuk to Kast to Mannie and BG etc) have called him out for it first hand...he's the GOAT biter
and you listed none of those examples in your previous post. instead, you pulled ridiculous accusations out of nowhere........INTERNET RHETORIC.
and i would take outkast off your list cuz "hoody hoo" was really just a common practice. all he did was take a hook from a well-known album in a previous era. people do that ALL THE TIME. i think kast is a bit bitter because TRU made a huge banger out of it. and their fans are bitter because most of outkast's stan-base wasnt actually listening to them in their prime years
so they likely knew the TRU song long before the kast version.
sure P had some infamous biting moments, but most of the stuff yall accuse him of is laughable. and i dont know man. theres guys like ice cube, jay-z and others that make a strong claim for that title as well. and when i say jay-z, im not talking about him quoting lines.
