who were all these acts that were poppin from ruthless at the time?
eazy didn't have much presence in the game at the time. his EP did big numbers but they were blackballing his chit.
to minimize the highest-selling act in ruthless history as some sort of group that piggy-backed off of eazy is ridiculous.
breh, i was a 3-6 mafia fan but they were not all that popular. they made a lot of doofy music and had a cult following of cornballs & tackheads. they get way more props now, than they did back then. and that's mainly because of the producers that they influenced.
how would they have the same success as bone? where is their COACU, E.99 eternal, art of war? they don't even have an album as good as resurrection.
wheres their thuggish ruggish, foe the luv of $, 1st of the month, crossroads, dayz of our livez, etc etc?
we're only comparing these two groups right now because of style wars. bone had bigger fish to fry. they were competing & beefing with fellow big dogs like death row, wutang, mobb deep, etc.
cmon man. youre smarter than this.
and real rap, even some of the mo thug acts had higher potential of succes than 3-6 mafia, but bone let that all go to waste.
they blew up off their music.
if it was really about eazy-e's cosign then he wouldn't need bone, because all those other groups he had, that went nowhere, would've blew up.
and if 3-6 mafia went to new York to try to blow, they would've been rejected. east coast wasn't bumpin that weirdo chit. they didn't start getting a lil play until they switched up, and that was really just the singles.
I think people forget that 3-6 mafia in their prime was a C-list & eventually B-list group.
they had all the opportunities in the world to match bone's success over the course of the past 20 years and counting, as they still have mainstream exposure. and yet, they still wont ever come close.
they were even under the same umbrella for a while.
