I had Illmatic on tape. Twice. And Midnight Marauders.

there are clear similarities as i pointed out. gucci's incoherence is both a creative choice and the southern drawl.

but i know i know in rap, creativity is bad. : )

u gotta be trolling

Master P was the 90s Birdman in virtually every way. New Orleans label owners who cant rap, sign up kids, blew up with electronic sounding dumb beats while trying to inject some soul at times while pumping out young groups 3 a months looking for one to blow up. Even had the same wacky idiotic album covers.

P was nothing...the least bit...at all..in any way...ever...similar to what Ross is now. They just both rapped about drugs and money. which pretty much makes them both...rappers from the south....

Birdman has never and will never glean even half the personal success as a rap artist that P did.


P>>>>>>>>>>>>Birdman.

Without P Birdman might not even exist.

Universal gave the Hot Boys/Cash Money that huge advance because of what P accomplished.

ross has mad presence , but lyrically he is boring as ***. how anyone can compare him to biggie and nas is beyond me.

Remember this video Blaze? Damn, homie sounded like Cam'Ron (and looked like a fat version of him too.) Dudes style totally changed up since then, lol.

I remember when this video came I out, I always wondered who the fat kid in the throwback Wilt Chamberlain baby jersey was.

Just heard tears of joy and I want to cry my damn self. That song is so beautiful man, I'm gonna buy this album on vinyl to add to my collection. Cee-lo crooning with Ross' voice and flow is just too much for me.
