Well i'm not into Southern rap, other than a few notable few, Scarface+Devin The Dude.
^^Rap-A_lot, didn't they use to manage The Luniz, and ton o fother Bay Area Rappers???
I'll check out some of their rooster. Funny i figured this thread will get the discussion talk about more southern rappers than the ones that are usually discussed on this section.....Nothing... :-\ :-\
Rap-A-Lot records was not at the forefront. Not to say they do not drop quality material but J Prince seems uninterested in really promoting or anything. Bun-B's 1st solo did well, but that had more to do with his self promo, free pimp c movement, and the resurgence in Houston hip hop artists. The talent is there, but if it was not for this forum and just keeping up with things online, I would not know about half of their releases. And what's up with the sound quality on the last couple releases from them?

I for myself see Trae and Z-Ro as a duo or only Trae making it though..

Rap-A-Lot has always seemed to me like a family label,they had a core producer team for the longest.
They added some cats along the way,but the core team has always been there.
Itīs a little sad that they didnīt catch the wave,
same with 8Ball and MJG they missed out too :-\ (altough their recent music ainīt on the level of their early shit they deserve to get a little shine).
Yea Rap a lot has some dope shit. Realy westcoast influenced back in the 90s
What about Suave house?

when has rap-a-lot promoted tho...j aint gotta do nuthin.. he pay the artist.. if they cant sale themselves.. the fuck they in it for?..
instead of blowin the bread they get on cars n shit..they could be doin their own promoting..
nobody outside of the boot n texas new bout the geto boys..(this before j got scarface from lil troy)..
rap alot artist that stood the test of time.. know they dont need to promote waste of time.... do shows...
nowadays anything comin from scarface or the geto boys is prolly over 5-6yrs old.. kuz everybody doin their own thang... n they got a problem wit face still.. with him thinkin he bigger than everybody else..shit again..
rap a lot never was in the forefront of nething.. when the south had its up n down... durin the cashmoney n no limit days...rap-a-lot dropped jus like they do now in spurts..
when texas had that wave of major's come thru ..n the yungstars, lil flips and big pokeys .was gettin signed kuz of the lil bit of noise they was makin...rap-a-lot wasnt makin a bunch of noise.. cept for droppin compilations...
that wave came again recently n they picked up swishaouse and koopa.. u got a face album..then he retired.. came back out..did that side shit.. dropped another.. n that was that...
rap-a-lot aint shit nowadays.. devin gone... face can only talk about snitchin for so long.. he aint nowhere near what he useta be..he dont even sell nomore..
z-ro aint gone ever cross over.. w or w/o promotion ..he local joker to the fullest..

Yeah I would say as far as labels RAL has the dopest producers out. Maybe only 2nd to Aftermath. No Limit always reminded me that the way it was built was kind of a mix of RAL and Death Row but yeah Suave House and RAL never took off like No Limit did.Yea Rap a lot has some dope shit. Really westcoast influenced back in the 90s
What about Suave house?
Suave House is actually still around. They put out a old album from Rick Ross a couple months back.
Tony Draper does alot of A&R work for Cube's label. Speaking of SH, what's up with Mr. Mike?
Didn't know the part about Suave House and Rick Ross,thanks for the info. ;)
Yeah,remember reading that Tony work for Cube.
I believe Mr.Mike released a album last year (I might be wrong though,too much shit dropping :P :laugh:)
www.houstonsoreal.blogspot.com /damagecontrolradio interviewed him in February 2007,
the history links on the site seems to be crooked so I couldn't find a direct link for you. :-\
From what I can remember from the interview he has been in jail for a couple of years,but is back in biz now ;)I would say as far as labels RAL has the dopest producers out. Maybe only 2nd to Aftermath.
Besides Dre,I donīt think so,maybe itīs a matter off taste? :P ;)
I take Scarface (underrated producer),Mike Dean and John Bido over the Aftermath team any day. ;)

The thing with Aftermath is there are sooo many affiliated producers.
Scott Storch, Bud'da at one time, Mel-Man was a member for a bit.
But you got Focus, Khalil from time to time. I would say CORE producers for a label, you can't beat RAL.
Sure they're cool and all,but other than Hi-Tek and Khalil (Self Scientific)
I have not heard a any albums produced top to bottom from any of the others + I feel the Aftermath sound is to predictive. :-\
The Aftermath (Shady/G-Unit) catalog ain't as big as Rap-A-Lotīs so it's a little unfair to compare them. ;)
But if I look at the long list of personal classics Rap-A-Lot has given me,
I know that I prefer the Rap-A-Lot catalog and sound by far.

Real talk. I am glad to see John Bido and N.O. Joe doing more production on RAL related material.
N.O.'s work on Cube's War Disc was incredible back in the day.
I forgot about N.O. Joe :-\ (shame on me :P)
Any luck with those 3-2 albums yet?

I believe Mr.Mike released a album last year (I might be wrong though,too much shit dropping :P :laugh:)
www.houstonsoreal.blogspot.com /damagecontrolradio interviewed him in February 2007,
the history links on the site seems to be crooked so I couldn't find a direct link for you. :-\
From what I can remember from the interview he has been in jail for a couple of years,but is back in biz now ;)I would say as far as labels RAL has the dopest producers out. Maybe only 2nd to Aftermath.
Besides Dre,I don't think so,maybe it's a matter off taste? :P ;)
I take Scarface (underrated producer),Mike Dean and John Bido over the Aftermath team any day. ;)
The thing with Aftermath is there are sooo many affiliated producers.
Scott Storch, Bud'da at one time, Mel-Man was a member for a bit.
But you got Focus, Khalil from time to time. I would say CORE producers for a label, you can't beat RAL.
Sure they're cool and all,but other than Hi-Tek and Khalil (Self Scientific)
I have not heard a any albums produced top to bottom from any of the others + I feel the Aftermath sound is to predictive. :-\
The Aftermath (Shady/G-Unit) catalog ain't as big as Rap-A-Lotīs so it's a little unfair to compare them. ;)
But if I look at the long list of personal classics Rap-A-Lot has given me,
I know that I prefer the Rap-A-Lot catalog and sound by far.
aftermath has (had) a lot of dope producers, it's just that the music they're making is mixed due to the company ;)
Sure ;),but enough about Aftermath and back to Rap-A-Lot. ;)
Do you check for Rap-A-Lot at all?
some of their stuff ;)
but not enough to make a good comparison ;)
youīre missing out. ;)
ok Iīll start of recomending a album produced by John Bido;
BlacīMonks; Secrets Of The Hidden Temple
(http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/416KSAV27PL._AA240_.jpg)
and pass the torch to D-Nice and 3rd Coast.... ;)
SHIIIIT, That album is my shit right there. 3 Million Ways To Die= Classic beat and track. This album here also gets steady burn from me
(http://cover6.cduniverse.com/MuzeAudioArt/520/529395.jpg)
Lyrically sound and the beats were cohesive throughout.
i see what you're saying; the same goes for The Diary.
it's just that i think that there are better albums from that sub genre ( when putting it in a box)
Other than The Diary, Rap-A-Lot don't have any bonafied classics.
So if you compare it up against Ruthless and Death Row catalog they might come short.
That said,in my opinion much of Rap-A-Lotīs catalog is up there with the best from Ruthless and Death Row.
(for ex. Geto Boys,BlacīMonks,Scarface,Big Mike and Devin)
While Ruthless and Death Row crumbled to pieces,Rap-A-Lot kept it going.... LONGEVITY!
3rd Coast, you seem to know whatīs up with the Houston scene. so i got a question. are all of the rumors iīve heard about J.Prince running Tony Draper outta Houston true? iīve heard that it was coz he owed Tela some money or something and Jīs goons pretty much told them to get outta Houston? i have a hard time believing that but you never know with J coz heīs straight gangsta.
whats the deal with face and lil troy, the story, heard bout it but never knew wtf was goin on
also heard pimp and other rapalots people dissin him, so he a snitch?
I googled a little to see if I could find (new) some info about DA and Awol from Blac Monks.....
DA has changed his name to Yeuqran and he got a myspace (http://www.myspace.com/yeuqran) and got a album;

Enter D-A, widely known on the underground Houston poetry scene as YEUQRAN. He is a native of Port Arthur, TX,
the same birthplace of Pimp-C and Bun-B of U.G.K. From 1986 to 1991, Pimp, Bun, Yeuqran, then known as "D-A", DJ Bird,
and a few others all knew each other and practically grew up together trying to make it out of P.A. and into the rap game.
In 1993 D-A joined a group called The Blac Monks with members Mr. 3-2 and AWOL.
At this same time U.G.K. was becoming an underground favorite in the south.
While both U.G.K. and The Blac Monks experienced their share of industry red tape, politics and B.S, as fate would have it,
U.G.K. would make their mark while The Blac Monks were stunted by their former label.
Seeing the dead-end ahead of him, YEUQRAN legally severed ties with his former label and became a
free agent until meeting up with label owner Joe "J.A.W." Walker of Black Ankh Records.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YEUQRAN is a phenomenal producer, writer, poet, singer, bona-fide MC and owner of Iron Dragon Enterprises.
He is probably the Souths, if not all of hip-hops, best forgotten secret and a formidable adversary to any of the
current mass-produced rappers and beatmakers currently on the charts.
His commanding voice, relentlessss delivery, clever wordplay, addictive tracks and hooks, dynamic performance and charisma cannot be denied.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this much talent, experience and a word-of-mouth gold selling album under his belt, something has got to give.
Yeuqran literally takes a dying art-form, gives it a new meaning and purpose and drives it home like a
bulletproof tank through an American Idol audition destroying the current cut-n'-paste rappin', music production software dependant competition.
But maybe thats the wake-up call needed to bring true hip-hop BACK to the fore-front in 2009.
If so, God have mercy on the unimaginative, untalented rapper and beat-maker thats got his own, because real, original music is coming back, with a vengeance. Behold an Iron Dragon, for the man who sits upon him is HELL,...and real hip-hop follows with him. You can't make this stuff up. --------(Chuck "AMMO" Jones out)

A battle between the powers that be versus the powers that will be.
Through their short sighted arrogance and greed, the major label media conglomerates are sowing the seeds for their own destruction. Artists are now poised to come off the nipple of the major labels and finally stand on their own two feet. With this greater responsibility will come a greater workload for Black Ankh Records. Black Ankh Records is an indie label that support unique music. Artists can finally become masters of their own destinies. LISTEN TO NEW MUSIC FROM YEUQAN AKA DA FROM THE BLAC MONK.
