Come on man give me a break with all these Master P interviews and motivational talks. Of course the guy had a ton of energy and ambition and he definitely had a presence.. no denying that... but if ever there has been a case of right place, right time. He came at the height of rap cd sales and filled a void of Pac dying and milked the cow for all it was worth and honestly his real run was only like one year long. From summer 97 to summer 98 and by fall he had already played himself out
Agreed, people on here complaining that Daz releases 4 or 5 albums a year, Master P released multiple No Limit albums every month. If there ever was a definition of saturating the market with low quality, subpar songs, he wrote the blueprint. He had some club hits, and some songs casual rap fans could get down with, but the majority of hardcore rap fans around that time in my circle thought No Limit was a joke. Master P just dying to be Pac, creating a bunch of songs with the same names, talking about going to war, him paying to get on a song with Pac even when it was just a crappy quality freestyle, forcing his way onto Lay Low just so he could say he did a song with Dre. But hey, he made a lot of money, and at the end of the day, that's what it was all about to him, not about the quality or the artistic vision of rap music, so kudos to him for that.
I Let Dre Come back what a load of shit from P
u prolly not familiar with bay area pbefore the "make em say ugggh" nola era he was makin dope albums in richmond cali .. the ghettos tryna kill me is classix the quality took a hit when he moved back down south, but it coincided with his superstardom
Meh — south and Bay Area both 3rd rate McDonalds rap — u get some next level shit every now and then like Rappin 4 Tay on PAC's album, "Players Club", and "I'll Be Around" also Hammer's dancing was next level, Too Short "Gettin It" is one of the greatest songs of all rhymeSo the Bay has had its moments few and far betweenSouth, Atlanta is the 3rd best city after NY and LA and then maybe Detroit but if we are talking about New Orleans /Atlanta area then no
Infinite I think you are severely underrating the impact that the Bay Area has had in hip hopIll admit I'm not too well versed in the music but when it comes to things like the entrepreneurship, the production, the slang. the different styles of rap etc. their influence is right there with NY and LA's
