Yup. Btw Bad Boy was pretty much the eastcoast version of Death Row (in the business sense and who they modelled themselves
after). Clear as day.

I know many will disagree with me on this but even Biggie became the eastcoast version of Snoop. The playa talk? The change in his flow from
aggressive eastcoast to smooth/playa/mac shyt over old funk samples and loops..and thats right after Chronic/Doggystyle.


no they weren't.

bad boy followed Uptown's blueprint.
and puff designed biggie as a gangsta heavy d.

and yea, death row did influence their approach to biggie's album, but they weren't doing g-funk or sampling the same type of records.​

they don't own anything.

and I'm not hating. just saying they shouldn't be the faces of entrepreneurship if they don't own chit.

the media purposely forces them in as the guys to look up to, when theyre really conformists. and the media pushes this purposely.





stopped reading at the bolded.​


Don't they have ownership stake?

Yeah, that too. You're right. I wasnt saying they ONLY was influenced by Death Row tho. The thing about Biggie being a gangsta Heavy D
is something ive said before too. But we're talking 2 different things. That's more marketing/image than stylistically (ie. the flow & delivery) and musically (ie. the production style).

I don't see the correlation between death row & bad boy musically, aside from puff putting a spin on death row's singles recipe for "ready to die".

both labels really just followed the foundation of the labels they spinned off from.
death row followed ruthless blueprint. bad boy followed uptown.

Puff Daddy said himself he wanted records that sounded as good as "The Chronic" and "Doggystyle". On some other shyt, with how controlling Puff Daddy is with studios I don't see how someone could get let in that studio where 2Pac got shot without him knowing it. Even with most small-time music studios it aint like any nicca can just walk up in them, even if you know somebody.

Yeah i agree for most of it, although one thing Puff definitely did was add the synth overlay on 'Big Poppa' to jump on the g funk bandwagon that Dre/west and them was pushing and getting radio spins from.

That's perhaps where the animosity and biting backlash stemmed from.

Sounds like Tut was extorting Puff, walked in the building and gave himself a job. Then it sounds like Puff calls Lil Shawn on the low to get him up out of there without actually saying that


Basically Pac was right

Tut didn't rob and shoot PAC

THIS

yea, they definitely siphoned the g-funk draw with big poppa.


So in other words they have ownership stake


ownership stake & ownership are two different things.

youre obviously playing dumb, so have fun.

I'm not being a hater at all. youre just missing the point by a mile. and the message prolly isn't even for you anyway.

when you own 0.01% of something, you essentially own nothing. and that's how they like it.

To own .01% in several companies and have a lot of cash is better than nothing
