Game changing albums

Weezy did it way before yeezy.

Did Wayne have a song where he didn't rap prior to 808s?

If you say that though, then you gotta mention Mystic Stylez and The End by Three 6 Mafia

These albums changed nothing at the time.

That is VERY debatable. It definitely wasn’t outright. I do agree with the rest of your post. Wayne was the rapper that did it first. Kanye was the first time people seemed to take it more serious. It always seemed like Wayne was fukking around when he did it

Did Wayne ever make a song where he did nothing but sing prior to 808s?

which Biggie also did on Life After Death after dabbling with it a little bit on Ready To Die (his attempt at singing "What's Love Got To Do" during one of the verses).

Was Biggie singing hooks on LAD? I don't remember that but maybe I'm forgetting.

First rap album with a Parental Advisery sticker. First gangsta rap album

Outside of Too Short...was this the first album with heavy pimp/sex content?

Ready to Die had Juicy and Big Poppa. The he had the One More Chance remix. All three looped popular 80s loops

None of those were pop loops though. Puff really took it there when he sampled the police and David Bowie.

Not that I can remember right now I just remember that he did it a lot

Yeah it was hard to take Wayne serious with it when he was making songs like Lollipop

But then he had A Milli

Was 2 Live Crew before or after Too Short? I was never really into either.

IWW while not being a complete 180 from Illmatic, was more radio friendly. Big was always rapping over old R&B songs, (Mister Cee sh!t), so in hindsight his commercial joints weren't that much of a break from what he was already doing. Nas going from Illmatic to IWW was more drastic IMO. Reminds of the transition BCC had with For the People. Went from Beatminerz to that Night Riders sound, and it obviously wasn't a good shoe for them to wear. DITC in latter years did the same IMO.

The lesson is...if you're gonna "sell out" sell out right out the gate :prodigylol:
I think most people heard Big for the first time with either Juicy or Party and Bullshyt.
For me it was Juicy.

Too Short was 85.
Not sure about 2 Live Crew.

I keep seeing y'all saying Jay's Blueprint but Ghostface Supreme Clientele gave birth to the Blueprint

How? I can't remotely see any connection between the two albums?

 

[mobbinfms]

Well, he interpolated them by re-doing their chorus for "Street Dreams".

Over a hard ass beat. This was a far cry from Puff looping the Police and David Bowie.

SC inspired Just Blaze and Kanye. I think one or both of them said the beats for BP were meant for Ghost.
@TheDarceKnight probably got the receipts handy

Had to look it up, 2 Live's debut dropped in 86. They really weren't on no pimp sh!t though, just freaky. Short gave birth to pimp talk in Hip Hop.
