The Massacre Or TM:101

[Ronnie Lott]

Massacre wasn't even that good lmfao , shyt was actually pretty bad when I first heard it

 

[Hood Critic]

And Then What...
Soul Survivor
My Hood (this song is even interpolates "Rubberband Man" which you claim was essentially made for radio)

^^^ All of those were made for radio. With that said, what does being made for radio have to do with popularizing trap rap?

Made for radio as in the vibe of the records. in 2003 you had songs like Air Force Ones and In The Club on the charts. Trap Muzik had the I got it and I'm flexing vibe. TM101 had the I'm out here trying to get it by any means necessary vibe. And in 2005 the charts and rap still looked a lot like "party & bullsh*t" type rap music (Disco Inferno, How We Do, etc.).

I'm aware of the interpolation.

With Trap Muzik, it was the mainstream's introduction to the word/concept thus popularizing it. It wasn't just the word/concept, it was a sound. According to Toomp, it was a sound (specifically "Be Easy") that inspired Shawty Redd to create "Trap or Die". It was that record that was the blueprint for the sound of TM101.

I can't speak on the bolded because I know nothing about it but I will say, over the last decade, trap music (Gucci, Waka, Scooter, etc.) sounds more like TM101 than it does Trap Muzik.

There's records on TM101 that are just as made for radio (if not more made for radio) than Trap Muzik. Trap Muzik is still a trap album even if it delves into the "here's how I benefited from trappin" aspect. When Trap Muzik dropped, there weren't records that sounded like "Be Easy", "Rubberband Man", and "24's". "Rubberband man" and "Let's Get Away" were the only songs that fit the vibe of a radio single. "Be Easy" and "24's" captured the sound of Atlanta's streets moreso than mainstream radio.

Gucci Mane was doing Trap Rap before TM101 even came out. His debut album (Trap House) dropped about two months before TM101. It had production from Zaytoven and Shawty Redd. A lot of people's first time hearing Jeezy was on Gucci's "So Icey".

[Danie84]

An album called Massacre turning out to be a r&b album

 

[eastside313]

101


Massacre is a dope ass album but 101 changed the game

 

[thaKEAF]

Massacre personally but TM101 was Chronic-like as far as how it hit the streets.

 

[eastside313]

i personally cant ban anyone..

the sooner alot of folks just dont even respond to these doofy ass cats, they'll get the picture.. dont put on ignore, just dont even entertain anything they have to say..

most these folks are a bunch of clowns, trying to get everybody to join the circus..

Especially the punks with the gay comments

 

[mrken12]

The Massacre. Mainly because Jeezy is repetitive and one dimensional to me.

 

[Wacky D]

whats with this board's infactuation with the massacre?

no diss, but is that when alot of you were still new to hip-hop?

cuz that album was weedplate status.

 

[Harry B]

I saw The Massacre or TM101

Read GRODT or TM101, cause that's the obvious comparison.

TM101 is a certified classic, the impact and influence alone says that it shouldn't be compared to the massacre.

 

[Amulet of Immortality]

Massacre is a classic, TM101 is half full of fillers.

It goes like this for the boys.

GRODT > The Massacre > Jeezy's second weed plate > TM101

 

[The God Poster]

thug motivation: 101, that album is a classic. the massacre was some table scraps 50 was sellin'. it had a couple of songs that were good but that's about it. these 2 albums don't even begin' to compare, thug motivation 101 is miles, valleys and peaks ahead of the massacre

again, tm:101 is a classic album

Name all these table scrap songs
