@M.DOT @OHSNAP!

The way I look at it Ghetto Dope is more cohesive and has better production (my nikka o'dell is added to BBTP)
Ice Cream Man kinda started that NL run and has better singles and cuts to me, I also like the mash up of the yay area and the down south

I think P and BBTP/K-Lou/Darryl perfected the Bay Area/Dirty South mashup on Tru 2 Da Game, ICM was a good start tho. Ghetto D sounds more crisp, melodic and smooth, ICM is grittier, edgier and funkier

The Commission hands down. Never understood why P didn't push them more. Never understood why Mac didn't get that Silkk push

in your opinion is that a good thing or bad thing or just a thing? I personally like Life After Death compared to Ready To Die bc it's more polished, both classics though

Just a thing, personal preferrence

I prefer All Eyez On Me and Life After Death to MATW and RTD. Less boom-bap (RTD), more variety. A track like Gangstas Need Love wouldn't have happened on the Ice Cream Man album, but it was a banger and sounded different to the other songs on Ghetto D (same with Pass Me Da Green or Captain Kirk). The songs on CM, RTD and MATW all sounded too similar respectively for my taste

90% of the label dropped albums, and if BBTP didn't leave im sure everyone would have dropped. Now if it doesn't meet sales expectations that falls on the consumer

he wasn't talking about releases.

he was talking about their lack of push.

By putting out so many albums in such short periods in 98/99,they not only oversaturated, but the video/radio stations couldn't play only NL cuts, not even in the South/Louisiana...the big names (Millers, Snoop, Mystikal) obviously got a bigger push, deservedly so, in those times. But the smaller acts didn't really have a chance to get really big, they basically had the tank on the back cover, the booklet commercials, magazine ads, that's it
