Cash Money - the definitive S/D

on a pure sonic level, i don't even understand how he conceived of like 30% of the sounds that make up his beats

one of the best rap beats ever bar none

~epic~

lol I was just listening to Tha G Code yesterday afternoon.

Mannie+Juve make N.O.L.A. thugging sound like a swampy good time.

also Guerilla WArfare is great, and Juvenile may have my favorite voice of all rappers....

I just realized that clicking that I like "Hot Boys" on Facebook may have given some of my friends a very different message than intended.

i love mannie's beats, but none of the sounds in that track are especially out? live bass + live guitar + one synth sound? he's got some crazier-sounding beats, sure, but mostly i think it's his sense of melody that sets him apart.

really feeling wayne's "calling me killer" recently -- really cool wobbly/scratchy bass on that one

as i said six years ago, chopper city in the ghetto.

best mannie beats, too, if you into that. see example above.

I really dig "Chopper City" (the first one, not 'in the ghetto', though that is sen route to me, and i've also heard it before and love it)

... The new millenium obv belongs to Lil Jon and David Banner.

:(

kinda odd to think about cash money, which had a fairly unified aesthetic and production approach, disintegrating and recombobulating over the years and ending up as this splintered identity-free umbrella for like the wayne/drake/minaj axis and rich gang and shit. mannie's departure is the obvious transitional moment but i feel like it came earlier, maybe when they ditched that pen & pixel cover art style? 500 degreez?

one of the great achievements of mankind

Brad have you heard Turk’s solo debut “young n thuggin”? It has my favorite mannie beat (“untamed guerrilla”)

i haven't!!!

can def co-sign 'untamed guerilla'

Qobuz has a bunch of Cash Money instrumentals in CDQ. Was playin em at the beach.

with appropriate social distancing of course

The tracks were all six feet apart?

love both volumes of B.G.’s It’s All On U and Choppah City In the Ghetto

this track is so hot they put in on both juvenile’s and the hot boys’ 1997 albums
