Ain't bout "who used P&P first", it's bout who copied the style (read my post again)Nah BG's Chopper City and UNLV's Uptown 4 Life had Pen and Pixel covers before Tru 2 Da Game
at CMR biting No Limit when they were the #1 indie label in NO and doing true NO/Southern rap when P was trying to sound like a Bay Area nikka
Cash Money biting No Limit
- Thread starter OHSNAP!
- Start date
This was financed by P, with help from Sporty T, and songs from Crazy and tons of No Limit D-artists (X-Conn, Short Circuit, Young Gunz, Baby Soulja, Samm...)
Again: it ain't bout "who used military themes first", it's bout who made it popular on a nationwide scale (Tru 2 Da Game), then who took that theme and used it for themselves (Juvenile and Hot Boyz)Damn near everybody in new Orleans has a military background or family members that was in the military i don't know why but obviously its a local thing
Yep both dropped1995.
P claims he never heard of UNLV's song but with his loooooong history of biting
We'd have to leave that up to somebody from N.O. in that era to give an unbiased answer.

These the official Soulja rees
I was a fan of both during that time (from BR). UNLV’s version dropped first

I'm a BR transplant to the city, and I've noticed that many NO nikkas don't like explaining things about the NL/CMR era - and NO music in general. I've been down long enough to pick up on certain things but the culture is very insular.

"you wearing solja Reeboks nah boy"
There was a time everyone called Reebok Classics soljas but the Workout mid/low are *the* Solja Reeboks.

I've seen a few Reeboks I thought looked good recently but I'd get Adidas or Asics if I were going for that look. The last Reeboks I bought were those Yeezy Powerphase lows.
Wet Boyz didn't rap one lick on there, just Sporty T, Crazy (who was about to be signed and debut as a NL artist on the 504 Boyz album) and these D-list NL rappers

its so much context to that statement........like u said cuz in the city "all reeboks classics" were called soljas........
but over time......these became the go to shoe........same with slangs........its the culture as it spread threw out the city...
Prime example.........the word "Whodi".........
most of yall will come some far fetch explaination ........but its a slang word that morphed into something different...
u gotta know the culture to understand.........
#Lesson 1.......
Whodi......... = "Whoa There" / "Whoa Now"........all the same.......basically means "Whats Up"
if u from the city then you know most of the slang comes from old people......Grandma's and Grandpa's
so if u a old person say "Whoa There"......it actually sounds like "Whodi".......
but being from "Downtown" we didnt used "Whodi".......we used "Whoa".....
"whats up whoa"......"whats-hatnin-Whoa"......thats a downtown thing.....
Drake used it in its proper context........."Im running threw the 6 with (my whoa's)"....
directly stolen from N.O. slang.......9th ward....is downtown....8th ward is downtown
7th ward is downtown....my ward.....6th ward is downtown......and nikkas from the
6th ward......slang is ********** who guessed*********** "I be running threw the 6 with my whoa's"
but it was specifically used "Uptown".......same as "Solja Ree"....... it was more of a "Uptown Thing"
same with Fiend......Mr Whomp-Whomp......or Mac the camouflage assassin
i scream "Whoa".......with Fiend......instead of saying "whoa"......
when he spoke.....he made the sound of a 18-wheeler....."Whomp"
thats a variation of "Whoa"........but he put his own touch on it....."Whomp"
and that morphed into "Whomp-Whomp".......into "Mr.Whomp-Whomp"
if u listen to BG " Chopper City" album he release a single called "Uptown Thing"......
not becuz it was a amazing song title......no it was a slang to differentiate "Uptown from Downtown"
"Solja-Rees" was a Uptown thing.......Military Theme was a Uptown thing......being "Bout it" was a Uptown thing
it was "Uptown Privilege" almost like "White Privilege"....... just being from "Uptown" u can lay claim to these things...
Like nikkas from the "Bronx" know its the home of "Hip Hop" facts.........nobody can change.....
being from the "Bronx" u can lay claim on that.....
But P aint no N.O. nikka like that to be laying claim to "slangs/terms".......
Master P is some dude who made his self in Cali.......
nikkas in New Orleans dont be wearing bulletproof vest..........
like that shyt is corny......thats who Master P is.......
nikka came to New Orleans with a bulletproof vest on.......
lookin like a clown.......nikka we throw head shots.......fukk yo vest
and yo fake ass Tupac-Style........thats not New Orleans......
walking around wit baseball bats and sunglasses.......thats not New Orleans.....
wifebeaters and khakis shorts................
thats not New Orleans.......Nikka killed his brother and he got the fukk up outta there....."Thats New Orleans"
