and nothing but a g thang was the song that really put the west coast sound on the map. so what album and song did this for the south? Is it Juveniles 400 degreez and the song Ha? What do you all think.
-
no, love him or hate him but Master P put the south on the map for real for real. alltho UGK and the Geto Boys(and Face as a solo artist)had dropped albums before P became a mega-star they didnīt really sell any records. and P made it ok to be country as fuck and rap with an extremely heavy southern drawl. now iīm not sayin that P was or is the best from the south coz he certainly isnīt but if you canīt aknowledge that he put southern rap on the map nationwide(and worldwide)then your a hater.

master p definitely put it down for the south, but record companies still werent looking to put on acts from south because of him. If i remember right, in 1999 when juveniles album came out, him and cash money made it popular for record companies to put out more southern groups etc.

yea but Cash Money wouldnīt have been nearly as big as they were/are if it wasnīt for P. alltho he later on would go on and bite a few things from them is a whole nother thing but without Master P iīm pretty sure that Cash Money wouldnīt have gotten that huge deal with Universal coz they(Universal) saw P sellin records like hot panncakes without any real support from Priority so they went and snatched up the second biggest thing from the NO. damn now that i look back itīs crazy to think that P used to put out 10 albums a year and have them all sell from anything between 500k to 3 million.

yeah u do have a point there. I do remember all thos flashy, colorful album covers that no limit would put out. It seemed like there was a new one every other week. And to think how much money master p made off those records. But other then master p nobody from the south was really making any money. Outkast and the Geto Boys have been around for a minute, but I think people just saw them as dope artists rather then artists making southern music. I guess i just feel that juvenile's album opened the flood gates for the south becuase Ha was just on some crazy slang shit with a bouncy ass beat. I cant think of a song by master p that made me think of the south except maybe make em say uggh.

^Bout It Bout It is prolly the biggest southern anthem of all time.

refresh my memory, what album is bout it bout it off?

yea Master P open the door for Juve....but I think Juve guys would've made it big no matter what...with a song like "Back that ass up"
*plays Juve - ha*

well i canīt disprove that but fact of the matter is that P was the first multi platinum rap artist ever outta New Orleans and anyone who thinks Cash Money wouldīve gotten 30 mill from Universal and the push they got if it wasnīt for No Limit gotta be smoking crack. and still Bout It Bout It>Back That Ass up. but both labels sucks these days and thatīs a shame coz both of these labels had some talented artists back then(Fiend,B.G.,Mac,Juvenile,Mystikal). but P done fell off hard ever since BBTP left and they still successful so P made a fucked up move by not payin them.

Master P was definitely up there in 96-97 and 98 with his "Ice Cream Man" and "Ghetto D" albums. It was the No Limit era. Songs like Bout It Bout It, Make Em Say Ugh, Burbons and Lacs were bumpin everywhere. It wasn't talkin about anything new in particular, just money, drugs and hoes. But everybody no matter where they were from loved these southern rappers. Theres also the fact that people from the south supported there artists a lot whoever it was. I think his last good album when P was good and hardcore was "The Ghetto's Trying To Kill Me" in '94. I dont think it sold that much but it was definitely a south classic. Master P never hadn't that much talent as a rapper but damn that man was more entertaining than anyone out of the south back in the days. If it wasn't for Master P, most of these southern rappers you hear today would probably not be in the game today. Same goes with Cash Money and all of these gold toothed pimpd out niccas from the swamp 8). Gotta give props to a lot of downsouth artists like Geto Boys with Scarface, Outkast, Goodie Mob, DJ Screw, ESG, UGK, Eightball & MJG for puttin it down for years.
-
Scarface & Geto Boys put the South on the map. but as far as that (garbage ass) "dirty south" shiet everyone seems to like so much - yeah it was juvenile. i mean yeah Cash Money took No Limit's whole style but they made it bigger (and they actually had some songs even i liked).
-
^^^^^^^
exactly what i mean. it started the trend where the south was the cool shit to listen to. It went from quality south music like outkast, goodie mob, and geto boys/scarface to the southern bounce shit that they play all day at the clubs.

made it bigger?? No Limit has sold 70 million records WW and Cash Money hasnīt even sold half of that.
-
juveniles album still is that album that i think of when i think of the south coming up the way they are today. ha.
-
I wouldn't say it STARTED the west coast movement, but it did have a bigger impact than any other album
-
naw see master p put the dirty south on the map around 96-97....and by 99 and 00 thanks too juvenile's "400 degreez" selling...that put cash money on the map...and cash money was the next label that kept the south going while no limit was starting to fall....so basically master p. made the south bigger....while juve blew up cash money and kept the south moving to the new millenium...
