Coach K Of QC: "50 Cent Inspired The South To Start Making Original Artist Driven Mixtapes No One Was Doing Here Before Him"

[Lucky_Lefty]

Dj paul and juicy j had hundreds of tapes since the late eighties

What you think a screw tape was? nikkas was rapping over other artists' beats. And it's like 200 of them joints

And them shyts was rarely making it out their locales unless someone from there moved.TBH, only Htown and Louisiana nikkas was really fukkin with Screw tapes. Rest of the south wasn’t with it cause a lot of us hadn’t even heard of it or him. I lived in W. Memphis and hadn’t heard of a gang of Memphis artists not named Ball and G till I lived there. Moved back to GA and out mad nikkas on the Taylor Boyz, Skinny, etc. Hell my Houston partners wasn’t up on a lot of Memphis music like that. shyt was hella regional then and even within the regions had different sounds. Miami bass was different from Atlanta bass. Was a great time to be alive and into music.

DJ Clue & Kayslay were the ones who made mixtapes somewhat popular with the exclusives, 50 made it more mainstream and internationally known.

Was Clue, Doo Wop, Tony Touch and S&S for me…but I was also in the military and NY dudes always having they peoples send them mixtapes and they’d end up burning them for everybody.

50 AND Dipset

 

[28 Gramz]

99% of the world wasn't listening to sqad up tapes if they were he would've been hot back then and Wayne said he did it after he saw 50

Wayne never said that. And SQAD tapes were definitely hot in the south.

And there you have it, goalposts being moved like always

Ny nikkas lie and say they invented something they clearly didn't. We prove it and then get told it don't count cause we're regional

The argument wasn't who did it the biggest. It was who did it first. 50 cent didn't. Hell screw and Memphis didn't. People been making mixtapes since the 70's. But the point is, people did it before 50 no matter how you try to slice it

 

[tuckgod]

He’s right

Nobody was doing whole tapes over other nikkas beats before 50 and them

nikka, you must be arguing with yourself. Or one of these posters who likes to post only to argue. Go somewhere else with that shyt.

 

[Mindfield333]

Sure buddy

James brown is the most sampled hip hop artist and he’s definitely from South Carolina. Majority of them beat breaks on mob deep records were form southern artists.

 

[Bigblackted4]

Exactly. Chamillionaire and Paul Wall were rapping over any and everything.

Flip Mike Jones and Slum Thug as well

Who was first will always be debatable but I think the point being made in the video is 50s tapes shifted the whole industry and changed how artist got hot and created buzz. 50 single handedly did that. The whole game leaned into mixtapes post 50.

 

[GetRichOrDieTryin]

50 made it cool to re-do the hottest song out which is something that Lil Wayne ran with down the line...

Wayne oughta be thanking 50 too.

Give 50 his flowers(In before the Anti 50 Cent crowd pulls up).

Wayne did thank 50. the whole squad/YM (and wayne solo) mixtape formula was directly influenced by 50.

They got mutual respect for eachother.

 

[RaspberryFitted]

Miami bass was different from Atlanta bass.

I would appreciate it if you explain this to me further

 

[Monoblock]

He did. I never heard an artist from the South that was on the mixtape wave til 50 came up from it. And I'm from the South saying this.

Yall serious? How yall gonna sit up here and ignore what Screw and Swishahouse was doing for years in Houston.
