MUGGS!!!! If Cypress wouldn't have turned so dark, Muggs could be an A-list producer after the first 2 classic Cypress albums showed his HUGE talent.

he was a huge star. Produced big names like Ice Cube and teamed with Dre. I think his just enjoying the stage in his career where stardom is secondary. He had it before, now his enjoying artist freedom.

you have more freedom as a producer to free lance

if you stopped grinding, making music connecting with folks then you just stopped grinding simple as that.

blew his chance? hes deffently in the game still.
How can you say that somebody who produced all the cypress hill cd's blew his chance? Cypress is legendary(atleast for me) on the same level as NWA or any other group. the GZA cd was dope, and the B-real solo lp probaly will be hot to

Remember 4080 ? There was an issue that came out in late '96/early '97 when the first SOUL ASSASSINS CD was hitting stores. That issue featured an interview w/ Muggs, and he indicated that he was not pleased w/ the direction that Hip-Hop was heading in w/ the commerciality and the Puffy-ized beats, etc. He also said that the majors were taking on more and more of a copycat, cookie-cutter attitude w/ music and de-emphasizing the creativity in which he liked to indulge. And remember, this was back in '96/'97...I'd hate to imagine what he thinks of the mainstream scene at present! From that standpoint, I don't blame him (and Cypress, for that matter) for taking a more low-key approach nowadays. He's probably got enough $$$ to do his own thing, I'd imagine...

PEACE!
