Cash Money - the definitive S/D

love Juvenile's Tha G Code too. Thankyou Jess for going on & on about it

Personally, if you're talking about albums, i think CMB albums were at their most unlistenable 97-00.

Here's what i wrote about UNLV if you're interested: http://governmentnames.blogspot.com/2004/08/headed-2-da-classics-vol-1.html

Currently my favourite CMB song is "Cash Money Millionaire" by Lil Wayne off his new cd, it's really dense and melodic and has this disgusting fat keyboard noise that sounds like the devil talking. And Lil Wayne is a really nice rapper now.

I like what you wrote on UNLV - thanks a bunch.

Not to ride the fence or anything but I'm somewhere in between Jess and scg on this one....I certainly don't think CMB were unlistenable from 97-00! But they did have their fair share of shit tracks. Most definitely. "Shine" is definitely one of my all-time favorite hip-hop tracks though. Jess I agree about Jazze Pha although he'll always have a spot in my heart for "Dro in Da Wind".

Cash Money is nowhere near as good now as they used to be of course.

Which B.G. album is the one to get though? No one's even mentioned him and he's supposed to be one of the best..."Bling Bling" is classic of course.

2. "Jazzy Bitch". Has the beautiful "Human Nature" sample, a typical Mannie rhythm with gun shot snares and tic-tac hi-hat. Tec-9 says "Well as a matter of fact i like the girl who sucks the ball-sack", i disagree though, it always feels like when you get kicked in the balls and they kind of dissapear into your stomach and turns me off a bit, it's alot nicer if they're just licked.

haha

Tig: "Caller 2, get up outta here. Hey, W-B-I-TEEE-C-H, what's happenin'?"
Caller 2 (female): "Yeah, what's up? I got a problem with this nigga, he keep callin me, stalkin me an shit, callin talkin bout he want me to stick my finger in my booty."
Tig: "Ugh."
Third voice (Rock Master Rasheed, male): "Hello."
Tig: "So what you gonna do?"
Rasheed: "Say, bitch, I need to use the phone."
Caller 2: "Man, Rasheed, you tricky..."
Tig: "Rockmaster Rasheed?"
Caller 2 (amused): "Rockmaster Rasheed."
Rasheed: "Man, get off the phone, bitch."
Tig: "I say this dude who wants you to stick your finger up your ass, what's his name, you know that?"
Caller 2: "Some crazyass nigga name." [Pretending to be awestruck] "Gregory!!!"
Tig: "OK, well let's launch this one for my man Greg."
Rasheed: "Get off the fucking phone. I tol you fuckin ass, get off the phone."
Tig: "W-B-I-TEEE-C-H, 500 Degreez!"

fuck everyone talking about cash money falling off. old cash money can barely even fuck with the stuff they're doing now.
the last big tymers album big money heavyweights is in the top five cash money releases of all time. so many good songs on that. it's the introduction to the new cash money philosophy. funny and smiling and no more harsh cold beats unless someone really wants to do a song about kidnapping or guns.
the last juve album was really good and the lil wayne cd is fucking amazing and ten times better than anything he did before. get excited about that mannie solo too!

I realise my Cash Money collection is not nearly large enough.

I have:

400 Degreez
Chopper City In The Ghetto
Guerilla Warfare
Tha Block Is Hot
The G Code
Hood Rich
Juve The Great

... and that's it! Shameful. What is the next Cash Money album I absolutely need?

oh god

'i got that work'

u havent lived until youve heard snake

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vO1ea6oePg

also the movie soundtrack aint all that but this song is a must-hear b.g.

Okay "Snake" is great, if a bit disturbing.

The allmusic guide write-up makes Lights Out sound like a secret classic.

'great but a bit disturbing' is p much the deal when it comes to 'i got that work' ... its a comedy record w/ a punch you in the gut effect (plus the occasional serious rap from the hot boys)

the carter i

"flossin season" is fucking alien music

mannie fresh is the greatest human being that ever lived

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZjLyC9T2PQ

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.

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

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
