On the real, there was rumors going around that Jim started feeling some kinda way bout Stack on some jealousy shyt, and that may have lead to his death :mjpls:

Jim did hold Stack and Max back cuz he knew they had potential to end up surpassing him.
Word , I find it quite suspicious too he barely dwelled on his demise too , I think there's one video where he was walking with his crew talking about it but that's about it and he promised an album with him and stacks but that never came out either :mjpls:. Then to top it off I remember some nikka making a video saying Jim jones payed him to kill stacks, most likely that shyt was :duck: but still makes you think :mjpls:

I was born in 1996 so chill with the criticism it's just my perspective since I was a kid at the time :whoa:

But yeah my introduction to hip hop was really Dipset since 04/05 is when I started going outside by myself and venturing and my older friends put me on . Knowing that they weren't to far from where I'm from made me connect with them immediately . I have old pictures of me having my bandanna cocked to the side like Juelz and all that . The first album I ever had was Jim Jones Harlem :My diary of a summer after hearing Baby girl / Gz up on rap city begging my mother with persistence until she finally bought it . That album is another personal classic to me and stayed on rotation the whole end of 05/ early 06 . :wow:




:wow: Now jim jones is no where near the best lyricist at all , but that nikka was putting out bangers galore even though you could coincide that with the Max & stacks influence .

But in the summer of 06 when I went to the barbershop to cut my hair and somebody was selling mixtapes in a box I started browsing in the box and I noticed Jim jones in the front of the mixtape with new other artist in the background .. I automatically recognized Max from the baby girl video , but I didn't know who was Stack bundles or mel matrix . So I bought the CD and I went straight to my crib and popped the CD in my radio I had in my room at the time . By the time I finished with that tape I ain't even care about Jim at that point it was about Stacks Bundles & Max B at that point once Max came through with the melodic flow/chrous and Stacks spitting his ass off shyt had 10 year old me memorized :wow: Then by the next week that was all that was coming out of nikkas cars and boomboxes in the park the movement was in full fukkin effect :wow:


I been doin' this, hoppin' out, lookin' all Harlemish
Shoe game marvelous, heavy on his charm and wrist
You ain't got the heart to risk ya life for ya lifestyle
Pay to get acquitted for the charges like Mike trial (stacks) :wow:



Just look for the mixtape yourself because I'm really boutta fukk around and post the whole tape here , such a cesspool of bangers :wow:

Not to long after I found out about limewire and typed in stack bundles and the first song that popped up

then

:wow:
After that stacks was officially my favorite rapper , I remember when the school year started all that was on my mp3 was byrdgang . Then at the end of the school year he pasted away I remember they announced on it on hot 97 and I hit the
986613_o.gif
in my moms whip that shyt had me furious he was suppose to have next and nikkas just executed him like that . R.I.P Stacks man :to:

Then max came through and was the remedy to a nikkas grievance when he came out with Public Domain 2 & 3 ,wavy crocket , coke wave , quarantine , goon music So much fukking piff , then cut the GOAT rap promo shytting on Jim & dipset :wow:

It seemed as if Max B had next :ahh: similar to how I felt about Stacks
Then nikkas hit him with 75 :damn:
Now I'm in the crib on some
full


Then like that that era came to a closure ...
Now of course older rap fans are going to feel otherwise like that era wasn't really captivating to them and I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I was 10 - 13 during that era so shyt had a profound effect on me and the piff released during that time period will always bring me back to a simpler / optimistic time in my life :mjcry:

R.I.P Stack Bundles & Free Max B

How did I miss this thread? :ohhh:

M.O.B. Vol 1 is the GOAT mixtape as far as I'm concerned. Max Biggaveli went on to create his own sub-genre and was one of the greatest musical geniuses to ever grace Hip Hop culture while Stacks was a lyrical phenom and brought a new style to the game. Fans were truly robbed of greatness. How many of these singy song a$$hole today tryna emulate the wave to no avail? Free the Boss Don rest in peace Stack. (Freh) :mjcry:

Great thread....I was starting to lose intrest in Hip-Hop before I discovered Dipset/Byrd Gang.

No movement with the energy & excitement they brought to the game has has come close or been duplicated ever since.

Byrd Gang could've been a powerhouse of a group....Damn shame we never got to see them prosper.

And somehow their sales never reflected that? :ohhh::dead:

And no one down here could name a Dipset mixtape but every nikka in NY can name at least 6 Wayne mixtapes :sas2:


lol. you need hip-hop 101.

their sales did indeed reflect that. they catered their music to the streets. people who cop mixtapes and get their albums at the same spot. the vast majority of this doesnt register in soundscan.

and wayne wasnt a big seller back then either. it wasnt until the media got behind him and he became a crossover rapper heading into C3.

- those squad tapes were only popular with young ass bamas.
- UTP's 600 degreez got more respect than wayne's 500 degreez. and they were chittin all over wayne.
- then wayne tried to drop the carter in '03. had the 1st video on rap city everyday and the whole nine up until they scrapped the album and handed the ghosting duties to gillie, then came back next summer with the new carter 1 album.

niccas aint tryna post about all that tho.:whistle:

That sounds likea ridiculous rumor,its not as if Jim Jones wasn't used to being outshined on tracks,being the weakest in the crew:laff:....but at the end of it all by this time he was arguably the most successful and visible out of all of the dipset members with his own Byrdgang click:blessed:...and he was still clearly the most popular of the group at that point.

Unless he was the one who had shooters outside Cams coupe I cant say he's shown signs of jealousy when he was dipsets weed carrier,and if he did Juelz was jealous of Cam too if you think that whole getting on stage with GUnit was a move made outta jealousy....I took it more as a beef for publicity which Cam and Jim had talked about,or Jimmy jumping ship because Cam was looking bad and being laughed at at that time and Jim was popping.
