Ghetty Green Vs. Mista Don't Play

[Deucage]

I don't think we've had a thread about this besides a few posters saying they prefer one of the albums on various Project Pat appreciation threads. Project Pat has always been in my top 5 southern rappers off the strength of Mista Don't Play alone. I hear nothing but praise for these albums which is what they deserve. If you think these albums are wack there is something wrong with you
I would have to go with MDP off the fact that it introduced me to everything hypnotize related. Mystic Stylez, Chapter 1, etc. I never heard anything like it before. At the time I was used to the G-funk sound & the Boom bap beats. DJ Paul & Juicy J went in on both the albums production wise. shyt was ahead of its time and honestly it doesn't sound dated
Ghetty Green goes hard though.
Out There
You Know the Biss
We Gon Rumble
Ghetty Green is a southern classic
Mista Don't Play though is just an all around classic in my opinion. The album never gets boring & has no skips.
Hearing If You Ain't From My Hood for the first time
Nothing like it. Mista Don't Play is honestly the best hypnotize album, a top 5 southern album, & in my personal top 10.
So what does the Coli think there is no wrong answer

This a great thread OP but I give Mista Dont Play the edge simply because it had a little higher quality production but Ghetty Green was definately better in terms of lyrics and how raw and hungry this nikka Pat sounded, especially on a song like Ghetty green itself... the story telling was authentic on Ghetty Green where as Pat was just coming out of his bag on MDP on songs like Aggrevated Robbery. Still the beats on MDP still resonate with me till this day so imma edge it. Gold Shine i still bump tho daily

about even as even can get.

Hard to answer.

Ghetty Green was wayyy more gritty and grimier. Mista Don't Play was more colorful and had some humor.


Guess it depends on how you feel at the time.

I knew it would eventually come to this

Ghetty Green has aged like wine but Mista Don't Play took over my 2001

MDP gets my vote but not by much.

 

[AFRAM GLORY]

I see them as equals. Mista don't play is lyrically superior and covers more concepts while ghetty green is harder, raw, and uncut from start to finish.

Honestly speaking...Murderers and Robbers is better than Ghetty oGree...too many skips and shyt

Mista Don't Play is a Lot better

 

[raoulduke187]

Ghetty Green is slightly better to me, both are amazing albums

Mista Don't Play >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Gangsta Boo asked to borrow my Ghetty Green album one night before leaving and after a call with Playa Fly and I haven't seen it since. This was around '05 or '06.

Ghetty Green

Mista Don't Play is dope as fukk as well but its probably gonna gonna get voted for most because it was commercially successful thanks to "Chicken Head".

Ghetty Green tho...damn....


"North Memphis" intro and "Out There" alone are just...


"What's the Bizness" , "We Gone Rumble", "N* got me fukked Up" (old mixtape and classic Memphis samples)


Choppers and Ballers (Mannie Fresh)....

The uplifting "Choices"...

"Slang in Rocks" and my favorite story telling song of all time "528-CASH"


The weakest song was the Posse Song and it was still dope.

MDP got classics as well...but this shyt right here?!

This shyt been blessing me since 99...

 

[Monoblock]

I was just thinking about this last week and even though Mista Dont Play has some classic tracks I think Ghetty Green is the better album. That shyt just rides IMO.
North Memphis, Out Here, Whatever Ho, Choices, Slangin Rocks, You Know The Bizness, We Gon Rumble, Choppers, Ballers Remix, 528 Cash, man that album is fukkin classic. Pat did that shyt.

I had to go with MDP off top, but I'm going to go back and bump GG again and might change my mind. A tough call for sure

EDIT: Nah I'm sticking with MDP
