the bottom line is, he didn't make her a star. that was dude's point.


and lets be real. if devante didn't lose his mind, ginuwine would've still been ginuwine.


I was under the impression that we were talking hip-hop from the beginning. that's why I was taken aback by your posts........for the record tho, mannie did his thing on the r&b tip as well, but that's neither here nor there.




lady of rage came out at the same dam time. salt-n-pepa, queen latifah & mc lyte were experiencing possibly their most success. boss was big. smooth had hits. heather b had joints. that's just off the top of my head.

that's a lot going on - which is one of the reasons why some of the other female artists didn't blow. this was arguably one of the busier times for female rap. so lets not act like da brat was on some default ish like trina or even nicki.

success-wise, da brat's 2nd album did well and she was still just as big. the 2nd album didn't do as well as the 1st, simply because it didn't have the huge hit singles:
funkdafied
for all yall
gonna give it to you
:clap: that's a huge run of singles. something that not too many rappers have accomplished, yet alone duplicated. her not matching that run is not a fall off in the least bit.

again I ask, if da brat wasn't a star, then what female rappers were?

I can't lie lady of rage was popping, so i would say her, Queen, Salt N Pepa, Lyte, and Da Brat

So. Cal
and during his tenure, how many artists blew up/sold a great amount of records from releasing his songs as their singles?

Also, how many hits did he produce outside of CM?
:what: Breh how old are you? Juvi was the biggest name in hiphop at one point
