Sohh, the #2 member of the Hot Boy$ next to Juvenile was getting no play in 2002 in the south???

:russ: TheColi.com; You can't make this shyt up.

Nahh, Dipset still got a very big cult following in the Midwest states; Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Illinois, etc.


To be honest 500 degrees was considered a flop and I don’t remember it getting play at all.

And I remember vividly how the first Carter was really the album people started hopping on and saying Wayne was Wayne

Maybe where you from,

But in the Midwest we listen to music from every region. We was already listening to Wayne from Hot Boys and Solo albums. So when 500 Degreez and Squad Up tapes from SQ1-SQ7 dropped we seen the growth. Once Tha Carter came out we had already knew what Wayne was capable of.

Go back and listen to 500 Degreez, then SQ1 then SQ7 (once Sqad Up broke up), you’ll see the change and how Tha Carter Wayne was formed.

I’m from the south Deep South at that . You said dudes from the south and in 2002 i remember a lot Lil Jon thug holiday Eminem Nelly Busta rhymes pass the courvosier but not any Wayne at all

Naw I lived in Jackson Ms and up north near Memphis I don’t remember Wayne round 02 getting heavy burn at all. And I’ve heard all that and C1 is my favorite Wayne album

The sip is damn near a 2nd home for artists in TN and LA boosie is a god to most dudes there and I don’t remember people really hopping on Wayne til C1 even with his hot boy success

I mean what did he lie about? They were rapping over original beats and G-Unit were rapping over other artists' beats (I'm aware there were exceptions on both camps) — for the record I'm ignoring the "who did it first" angle and focusing strictly on the difference between their movements as I believe it's a more interesting discussion.

Alot of Dipset solo careers were also released on Independent labels as well.

Yayo, Banks, Game, and Buck all had major releases. G-Unit always had that machine behind them when Dipset didn't.

When Diplomatic Immunity 1 dropped in 2003 it was everywhere, when Diplomatic Immunity 2 dropped in '04 it was almost like a secret album. The only singles were "S.A.N.T.A.N.A.", "Family Ties", and "Crunk Muzik" (which only got played on 106 & Park once.)
Nikka, G Unit had the machine behind them because of the buzz their mixtapes brought. G-Unit/134 All stars were popping so much is why the majors invested in them.
