Pun did the song with Serv. A lot of them weren't Pac wannabes. Fiend, Soulja Slim, Big Ed, nor Kane & Abel sounded like Pac. Prime Suspects, the Gambinos, nor Ghetto Commission sounded like Pac either. I will say the Gambinos did seem like they modeled their style after the Outlawz though.
Yeah I forgot about Slim. I always confuse him with Cash Money for some reason. Young Bleed was cool too. Anyways, anyone that over exaggerates their vowels is a Pac clone to me. And the dudes u named weren’t big like the others were. I will say I still listen to Mr. Ice Cream Man and I’m Bout It soundtrack to this day. Not sure if they’re considered classics, but their personal favorites for me.

It's easy to confuse Slim with CMR because like most of CMR's roster, he was from the Magnolia projects.

A lot of it should've been self explanatory as Mystikal and UNLV had beef before Mystikal signed to No Limit. Then you have to consider the fact that P signed a few CMR affiliates (O'Dell played keys on some early CMR albums and ended up as an in house producer for No Limit as a member of BBTP). Then you have to consider that P was scooping up talent out of Louisiana left and right. Some of those artists might've been artists that CMR was scouting, but because No Limit was hot, they signed with P. KLC had a whole roster of artists and all or most of them came with him when he joined No Limit.

This.

I'm still trying to figure out the whole "Hip Hop wasn't developed yet" as well. Master P's dominance came at a time when Hip Hop was opening up bigger budgets and we were seeing multiple Hip Hop releases have massive first week sales and multiple albums sell 5 million and over. Then there's The South. P came out a time when Southern Hip Hop was thriving on a national level. P blew up at a time when No Limit's Southern raw, rugged, more gangsta sound was the answer to Bad Boy's East Coast polished, more mainstreamed sound. This was when "gangsta rap" was written off in favor of a more party friendly, mainstream sound.
No Limit the first nation wide southern rap staple, everything else was regional or at least hit the midwest. P & Puffy rode that wave that Death Row & Bad Boy started.

“Them nikkas ain't real
Must'a started smokin' rocks
It all fell down
Cause they was bitin' too much Pac”:mjlol: Can’t cap I fell on my ass when Pimp C said that, cause it was lowkey true. What Master P did was important for southern hip hop, but outside Mac, Mystikal, and Mia X, them nikkas were 2Pac wannabes. Cash Money came in and destroyed all of that momentum; they sounded more New Orleans too, P was bitin too much bay music. Even Pun who did a song with that child molestor Skull Duggery, did his worst verse cause he had no respect for them; think NORE said some shyt on Endangered Species like Pun was just there trying to get a check, he didn’t like him.
C- Murder was really the Pac biter. He actually remade his whole song damn near word for word on Ride my enemies. But nonetheless No limit was enjoyable to me. I was certified in my love for No Limit.

Eh, Master P was good in the mid to late '90s.

Like, No Limit was a whole movement.

No, he wasn't no great lyricist, but he made good music until he got too old and too much about the business and not enough about the music.

As everybody else said, once Beats By The Pound left, it changed the sound.

I can tell OP is like 23 or something, talking about "Hip-Hop wasn't developed yet", like this nikka wasn't operating at the same time as Nas, 2pac, Biggie, Wu-Tang, and Jay-Z.:mjlol:

I bet yo retarded ass think Young thug and NBA Youngboy and Kodak Black are "developed". :heh:

fukkk this nikka and this "How is Babby Formed?" ass thread.:stopitslime:
