God want Birdman to be the #1 Stunna
brehs the way to look at this is when I was a teen, cash money was a major player in the game, 10 years later when I was a in my twenties, cash money was still relevant with weezy being one of the biggest names in the game, today, the teens of 2010-2019 will be in the same position I was in in the 90's, where they all know that cash money had some of the biggest acts in the game... almost 30 years of dominance brehs, that's some hip hip motown shyt.

The average peak life of a rap label is roughly 3-5 years. CMR has been at it for almost 30 years non-stop, all while never being afraid to completely switch up the roster plenty of times.
They're on a New England Patriots type of unheard of run with multiple players but some of the same key figures for most of the dynasty.
- The Bounce Era circa 1992 (Pimp Daddy, Lil Slim, Ms. Tee, UNLV, PxMxW, BG)
- The Hot Boys era circa 1997 (Hot Boys & Big Tymers)
- The post Hot Boyz Era circa 2001 (Jazze Pha, Mack 10, TQ, Mickkey, Tateeze, Sqad Up, Gillie The Kid)
- OG Young Money Era circa 2003 (Currensy, Mack Maine, Boo)
- 5* Birdman post Mannie Fresh era circa 2005 (Starlito, Block Burnaz, 6 Shot, Teena Marie, Brisco, Kevin Rudolph)
- YMCMB Era circa 2009 (Nicki, Drake, Lil Twist, Jay Sean, Jae Millz, DJ Khaled)
- Rich Gang Era circa 2014 (Young Thug, Rich Homie Quan)
- GTV/Cash Money West circa 2017 (Jacquees, Blueface, Money Man, Glokk Nine)

Nope. If you followed them you know it's different rosters, mindsets & sounds. Constantly evolved.

The fact that you don't see or hear from Slim as much makes me believe he's really the brains behind this shyt. It's crazy anyone that has an issue with Cash Money only mention Birdman. Gillie is the only one to mention Slim from what I remember.

Slim always been the actual brain behind the music and business. Vernon Brown is the attorney & business advisor. Baby more of the public face.
Jacquees taking Birdman on a victory lap. And I just saw a new Juvey video where they're repping Cash Money again. Its clear they're running a shell game with their buisnesses. Y'all better get a good look at this, cause there's no way another label will pull off the run these brothers have.
The nikkas in the background were always used to bring another element to wayne...

Exactly. People don't realize Wayne's main influences outside of Jay-Z & Missy Elliot were whoever his labelmates were at the time:
Yella Boy
Juvenile
Gillie The Kid
Currensy
Drake

Damn, accurate!
I can agree with this much more than 8 generations. They had a long run, arguably unmatched, but every time they sign a batch of new acts isn't a generation of music.

Lies
Currency was tryna rap like wayne.
Currency even admitted that and said it wasn't his style.
Drake sounded just like Wayne when he first came out.
Wayne NEVER sounded like Gillie.
