Son. No. Mystikal’s album. And all them joints was either poppin and/or out before Jay dropped his single. Southern Hospitality literally dropped in the same week before Give It To Me. I was a DJ around this time doing block parties/house parties and all kinda shyt. Even if u don’t feel they were a household name. Jay was in the industry. HE knew who was providing all his peers hot joints and he knew they were on their way to being super producers. Cause I damn sure knew. He jumped on the kettle when it was boiling. Look at the release dates for all of the shyt I told u. Which is why I said. Everything else u said was right BUT the Neptunes shyt. And Give It To Me was not bigger than Shake Ya Ass and Danger. I was spinning that shyt in the summer before Give It To Me dropped.
Shake It Fast- dropped Summer 2000. The album came out September 26, 2000 (or close to it). I copped it the first day. "Danger" dropped later in the year.
"Southern Hospitality" definitely wasn't before "Give It To Me". Luda's album came out October 17. That song wasn't officially released until late 2000.
All of these joints were nearly innrotation at the same time and this was right before The Neptunes really hit their hot streak. Now when
Blueprint 2 came out, that was them at the peak when they had all them joints in like the Top 10. I could see a point there because they weren't on
Blueprint, but he went back to them on BP2 when they were on fire.
