Mannie Fresh regrets what Cash Money did to hip hop

[Booker T Garvey]

they still play no limit & cash money sets in the clubs, parties, & on the radio, even in their weakest markets.

to this day, theyre still the 2 biggest crews to come out of an entire region.

just admit you don't know what youre talking about.

nikka you lying through your motha-fukking teeth saying there are clubs still playing "bout it bout it" and "it ain't my fault" unless you live in new orleans

the only no limit song you hear in ANY club anywhere is DOWN FOR MY N's just like Knuck if you Buck...
you throw that song on in the middle of some drake and lil yachty and the club will turn the fukk up. same goes for Back that Ass Up

and if you're saying you still hear MAC, mr serv on, or a Kane and Abel songs ANYWHERE i know your ass is lying...

you must be one of them nikkas that got TRU tatted on their chest or arm somewhere when they came out

and notice how you're blatantly ignoring my points about songs being used commercially....

you're ass is talking about old school stations or #TBT segments of radio shows as examples

Mannie Fresh Explains Why He Regrets What Cash Money Records Did To Hip-Hop (Audio)

“What Cash Money was, at the beginning, was a category. You still had categories in Rap when we was doing that. Even though we was the flashy dudes, that was our category; we had our own lane. Because you got Slick Rick, who was the storyteller. You’ve got Public Enemy, who [led a social movement]. You had N.W.A., that was Gangsta Rap. You had Cash Money, that was just the flashy dudes. Like I said, you had different genres of Rap, and we were just one of ’em. So that’s how we fit in. What makes it all confusing, and this is where it’s the gift and the curse: we never set out for Hip-Hop to turn into just something flashy; that was just our thing. It wasn’t everybody’s thing. Right now, Hip-Hop is just flashy. Everybody wanna be that dude, everybody wanna be a millionaire, billionaire. That wasn’t our intent,” says Mannie, whose beats and songwriting were instrumental to that paradigm shift. “We never wanted a whole culture of rappers goin’, ‘Look at me, my chain is big [and so on].'”

Truth.com CMR started the flawsing and stunting shyt but that was they thing. Htown bit that style then the entire south and then the entire hip hop game

It's too late now to with the monster you help create.

 

[The Amerikkkan Idol]

Why even mention non-Biggie? Just include Biggie. I know your coastal insecurity wants to.

I'm not from the West or the South, dude.

[NO-BadAzz]

I'm not lying about anything. I clearly said clubs, parties, block parties & radio sets.

I never said anything about any artists in particular, so why are you trying to shift the argument into mac, serv-on or kane & abel??......altho, they still play that mac & mercedez "i can tell" joint in radio sets down south.

I didn't respond to your "point" about songs being used commercially because I could give a flying f*ck about that. half the songs that are used commercially are corny crossover tunes.

 

[Big Boss]

90% of the stupid shyt I wore when I was 19 was due to listen to my favorite Atlanta rappers. Stupid white tees looking like I am Jeezy

I remember when I was like 12, I wanted a No Limit Records chain, told my dad it's cause I am a No Limit soldier. As you know, I never got that chain but I did get a whooping.

 

[Wacky D]

not really...both those labels had quite a lot of street based artists. Only Puff, Mase and Jay were overboard on the big money talk

the same goes for cash money.

the hot boys were not a flashy group, and they were the stars of the label, unlike the roc & bad boy where the frontline stars were flashy.

the thing is, they packaged the whole label as flashy and 95% of the singles were about money, jewerly, cars & women......which did a disservice to the hot boy legacy.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Can't take full credit when bad boy and the roc were of the same frequency

Yeah honestly if we're being real, Bad Boy and Roc were what really pushed all the flossing and Euro stanning...if anything Cash Money took the flashy aesthetic back down to earth and brought in the Ghetto fabulous image that was a balance between flash and street

 

[iamduval]

Chicken or the egg theory, here. Hip Hop started bringing in big money in the late 90s. Huge label advances etc.

I think the content just naturally progressed to that
