the hot boyz was weak sauce from the jump. it's not like they were taken seriously as a group talent wise. to say that there was a weak link in the group would be indirectly giving them credit as a group that had some form of talent when they didn't.

lil wayne becoming a big time rapper is fukking comedy because he's REALLY not that good to begin with. folks started hyping him up after he actually dropped a decent bar or two. dude sucks.

This was it, right here.

As I said earlier, Wayne wasn't wack...but he was the weak link. He got more burn because of what I quoted. Wayne was more marketable because of his upside.

Niccas was like "Mayne, you hear wayne on that Nelly cut ("For My")? He was gowne'..." Now we know any of the Hot Boy$ woulda ate Nelly on a track.

Then he was on that cut with the Youngbloodz ("U-Way Remix") which wasn't a "hit", but it was gettin' burn on the low. He was spittin'...Wayne got more opportunities to be out there and shine than Geezy and Turk (and you could argue Juve).

Can't rock with this...at all

And i'm the last nikka to give whoopi any extra credit, but i honestly would say the exact opposite and would probably say turk was the weak link out the crew. Turk was definetly replable. BG was probably the best overall spitter but most CMR fans weren't worried about that kinda shyt anyway, he could be replaced.

Obviously Juvie was in the lead as far as being the first to have a break out hit, but i really feel like wayne and fresh's production is what allowed them to create some separation between them and no-limit. Them having a "child rapper" in the group was a hook, and it wasn't on some "oh he's young" shyt, this nikka literally looked and sounded his age, if not younger.

His charisma combined with that the fact that he was OBVIOUSLY too young to be doing/saying half the shyt he was really gave the group an energy that you couldn't replace. His voice was more distinct than everybody else's too which is probably why he was doing a lot of the hooks on the big records, shout out to puberty. You couldn't help but listen to him looking ahead at what he might be doing/sounding like/saying years down the line.

Oh and TBIH >>> any other CMR solo i could think of off the top, i'm sure some won't agree but fukk it.

I'll listen to that before any juvie album honestly, and definitely before any wayne album not named C2.

Wayne had more star power:manny: he wuz more charismatic/witty than the rest of the hotboys......no knock but BG,Juve specialized in real shyt/hard shyt mostly.....He just bought sumthing different to the table,imo he wuz definitly a constant stand out on the collabs though.....his style translated better to commercial records of that era but he shouldn't get a knock for that,he wuz multi dimensional and could rip the hard shyt and the commercial shyt....are people just speaking career wise/catalogue wise or about the actual hotboys as a group?nikkas wuz actually listening to them tracks and just skippin over wayne verses:mindblown:....weak link is a strong word,callin any of them a weak link is already a reach as a group.....but Wayne and Turk bought the same thing to the table,he had the same kinda energy wayne bought,but he wuz a less talented Wayne if we MUST nit pick
