The interscope machine did alot of damage

Banks is ADOS, only one parent is Rican.
Never heard anything about Buck not being of American descent.
I see this Especially with nelly. I’m not talking about grown hip hop fans at the time. I’m talking about those that came of age in that time be acting brand newYep, I know cats that were bumping Ja songs up till 2002 now swear they don't remember![]()
and 50 put out the worst singles of all-time with candy shop after thisWord
.I can't believe you're the first to mention this..song was HARD when it came out ..he just couldn't keep bringing the heat.
LolI remember reading a interview in xxl or the source back before Ja fell off. He was carrying a stuffed 2 pac toy around, and drinking some Hennessy mixed with alize. I couldn’t stand him ever since.
One of the weirdest phenomenon's in music was ja rule being hot, 50 coming in and telling people ja wasn't hot, people rocking with 50 for some reason, people pretending like they never listened to ja even though they owned his records and his music was EVERYWHERE, 50 making music like ja, and everyone pretending 50 WASNT stealing ja whole style, then pretending ja didn't exist...
I know nikkas who every friday night before we went to the club were bumping always on call or the theme song for every football or basketball team being who many wanna ride and then one saturday poof my homeboy was bumping something else and i was like "you finally tired of that ja huh" and he was like "ja who" and then he started playing 21 questions...
They were like a plague of locusts.
What's crazy is that there are still tons of them hiding on this board and internationally.![]()
50 gave street rappers a second life at making street albums and hard records for the radio stations.
Wayne Squad up tapes would have never been born if 50 wouldn't came around
What kind of music was Wayne putting out in 01-03? Street or fun records?
I said 50's coming into the game paved way for the streets to be brought back to the light.
His album. GRODT.
That is what the industry needed, a hard street record.
Everyone else was making fun music
Em, Pimp Juice and Us. And even Jay was putting out Song Cry, and Girls Girls Girls
Ultimately you all have poor taste because Ja music aged way better than 50s trash ass music.
That street shyt lifespan was super short though. When the south blew up, was when the east coast street shyt stagnated following 50's formula and stagnated.
50 killed NY hiphop. He destroyed a 40 year movement.
He jealousy and selfishly tried to pull a Pac and go at every rapper in ny, only with disastrous results. People saw there was no longer unity and cohesion amongst ny rappers and left them all alone including 50.
