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

[King_Kamala61]

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

/thread


I'm tired of the South slander...we gave yall grandiose Negroes Jazz, Good Food, and alot of Revolts in this country....

That's factual so idk why you so that comment you made

You know what i mean nikka.. the modern version of hip hop.. 1973+

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

I would appreciate it if you explain this to me further

Atl bass had a slower tempo and was built for melodies and shyt. You can listen to DJ Uncle Al mixes with R&B singing and contrast that with SoSo Def Bass All Star R&B songs which is my favorite version of producer Lil Jon. Them joints with Oobie, Lathun, Virgo all bang. But don’t get it twisted, ATL bass is the lil cousin to bass music from the Bottom

 

[28 Gramz]

He’s right

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

 

[Theo Penn]

All of y’all knuckleheads missed Coach K’s point. Sure, there were plenty of mixtapes around before 50 and Dipset, but those tapes had artist rhyming over other peoples beats or a mix of random artists’ songs.

What he noticed different with 50 was that he was consistently putting out a bunch of new ORIGINAL songs with their own production on these tapes that could be seen as a whole project or release, which later became a blueprint for the south. Trap or Die with Drama is a perfect example.

50 and the Dips were doing that heavy. Dips put a lot of album cuts on the mixtapes before the albums were complete.

nikkas tryna really rewrite what south done did lol this shyt crazy

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.

People forget how regional music was. All coach K was saying 50 made mixtapes commercially viable.

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

A southern dude should be the last person accusing anyone of lying.

Pathetic

Pathetic

What revisionist history have southern rappers pushed?

 

[Ryda52]

James Brown from South Carolina and Pigmeat Markham is from South Carolina

Augusta GA. James Brown’s a Georgia boy.
So when you really think about it…..


































































Y’all gotta thank the Peach State for creating Hip Hop, and still keeping it alive tho.

 

[Youngblood Priest]

No flowers to give. Hell, I have mixtapes I did in 95-96. Rapping over major hits plus a lot of early 90s tracks. He blew it up, but nawl shawty he didn't originate shyt. 50 my nikka tho.

 

[JustCKing]

There is some truth to that because I think it may have also inspired the In Da Streetz series from T.I. as well, which were a mixture of original songs and him rapping over other people's beats. It was mostly original songs though.

This wasn't just 50 inspiring the South though. 50 arguably influenced Kanye to do the same because he had tapes too. It started to become standard to release a tape before dropping an album for a lot of artists.

50 wasn't the first though, but definitely inspiration.

Nobody said INVENTED though... Inspired.... I can be inspired by Pat Mahomes to play football with a run and gun style... Doesn't mean he invented it.. He's just who inspired me

So it's funny you telling us what the argument wasn't... But clearly missed what the actual argument was

Never said originate for one... And he said ORIGINAL... meaning beats.. So you doing a mixtape over other people's beats has zero to do with what he was talking about
