Cash Money Records To Release 20th Anniversary Edition Of "Baller Blockin" Soundtrack & Film

[Asicz]

We need an oral history from Nas or Braveherts about the making of What You gonna do.

We might have to get them on Instagram y'all!

The chorus is an interchangeable version of let me know...
I'm not talking about about the beat,but the hook...

Nas had to be finding his away around this time

I like the song because at the time this is the very beginning of NY rappers acknowledging the Southern Hip Hop although initially seeming reluctant to do so
And Southern acts reaching out for some had forced collabs with Easrcost artist.

Big Pun and Mr Serv On song

Mystikal collab with ODB etc

Baller Blockin is one of the GOAT bad acting movies, when they're at the house party and BG is like "Waaaaa, check me out nikka"

that nas/braveheart song wasnt even a collabo. it was just them getting placement on a soundtrack.
nas hopping on that mac/master p song is a different story, and that worked out well, actually.

who's DON??

You a Hot Boy lay your ass on the hot car

Hot Boys! Hot Boys! Bling, bling, bling!

wait

why dont i remember aj johnson being in this??

lol. he went from doing BOTH "dre day" and "real compton city gs" to starring in no limit films, then turning around and getting a spot in baller blockin in the midst of the beef??

aj johnson - a tru hip-hop hall of famer.

This is from 1996 and produced by Mannie Fresh pre-NL Soldiers.


NL didn't start doing the soldier stuff til 1997. Like you said, P had the nationwide deal first tho. But like Soulja Slim said, that soldier stuff came out the Magnolia Projects. Mystikal came with the Boot Camp Clik in 1995 too



Can't say it's a "bite." It's just that visual content became the move and Im Bout It knocked down doors. Rocafella did Streets Is Watching too in 1997.

And if we're being honest, MC Hammer started the rapper movie in 1991

so really it was just a New Orleans thing and P just happened to pop first.

The main idea of the paragraph is tharwas about NY rappers embracing the South whether through rappers collabs a placement on A Soutern Rap labels such as CMR movie.

The rapper collab I mentioned were just an extension of a bicoastal collaboration in the form of a placement on a film soundtrack.

I prefer the Nas What you gonna do feature than the Mac one as I was not as big a No Limit consumer as I was a No Limit one.
Also at release of this soundtrack No Limit was on a downturn and CMR was rising and dominant.

 

[Asicz]

Is the Nas song pretty much clearly the best song on this soundtrack looking back !?

The first 10 seconds of the beat is even fire!
Even though

 

[Asicz]

I like when Nas gets on his South shyt! "Big Things" What You Gonna Do etc!

 

[Asicz]

I am going to give an investigative journalistic piece on the making, meaning, impact, ramifications and the impact on the collective concious of society of What You Gonna Do from Nas and Bravehearts and the Baller Blocking Soudtrack.

Wish they put some unreleased old cash money tracks on there

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

yeah, but you could say P took it to a national level, once someone in oklahoma or nyc were wearing it, seeing cash money wear it in 99 and 00 could make the assumption they were biters.

P ain’t take shyt on a national level. Dudes in NY was wearing fatigues throughout the 90s...shyt Bobby Brown was doing videos dancing in fatigues in like 92

 

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

True. All the soldier/camo gear and fashion (Solja Rags, Guerilla Warfare) also started after No Limit Soldiers dropped

 

[NatiboyB]

P ain’t take shyt on a national level. Dudes in NY was wearing fatigues throughout the 90s...shyt Bobby Brown was doing videos dancing in fatigues in like 92

sorry no one gave a damn about New York dudes wearing a damn thing (yes I saw the east coast cats doing it but it didn't catch on for real)...P took the shyt national.

They should do the continuation to the storyline.
