All respects & love to OG Russell but he didnt sign most of those artists. And some of them came when Lyor was the exec. I know its technically partially Russells label but even in the 90s he was almost out of it. Even Dame mentioned it.
Dont see why "Me Against The World" is in that list. A great album & probably my favorite 2pac album. But they just put him in their based on who he became once he died.
A classic no doubt, but most important to hip-hop? I cannot see it whatsoever. Wasn't that big of an impact.
Cube's 1st or...
The same talk been said about her constantly for certain years so why is this news now? She done had couple similar instances. She seem like she becomes a bop when she gets drunk (unless she high on something). Her being loose isnt something new. Fact or not its different, but the talk been around.
Huh?
Comin up Game was a big fan of KIss & Nas. Fat Joe is Game's boy/old DJ Nu Jerzey Devil's old boy. He also Puerto Rican from the east.
Game was a Aftermath/Interscope artist, NOT G-Unit artist. Mike Lynn (guy at the office who heard & passed Game's tape through the office), Dre & Iovine...
Pre-fame though? The movie dropped '92. Naughty By Nature's first album (excluding the New Style album from 89) dropped 91. They were popular by that time.
You made some very solid points up until the 50 Cent shit. Again, the 50 shit is purely about his issues with Jimmy. They even got mad at Game for signing a management deal with Jimmy instead of Lighty & them just so they would eat more & have more control since 50 was with Lighty too. Plus we...

Lemme guess, most of these cats were RT'n & posting shit about Feurgoson etc right? "Black lives matter" right?
Dont generally get mad when it flips on ya the next second though.
Well, the story is that they changed. Which i think is true even when i look back at resources. They ended up switching between each shows of who the headliner was gonna be. The thing was that Jay had a bigger crossover song at the time - Hard Knock Life. So i think that's a big reason why he...
They really werent. They both got at each other (Dogg Pound & Snoop vs. Biggie & nem that is, afer the shooting) but it was mostly subliminally. But then again it could've been too that they had some of the same affiliates, so it never went longer.
I hear ya. True about what you said about X too. DMX been said even when he was blazing hot that Scarface was one of his favorites. I've always taught that they do remind me of each other. Think they had some of the same issues growing up, could be it.
So 63 people were "supposed to be with Pac in Vegas/supposed to be at Biggies Vibe party" while 53 people were "supposed to do records & were the best of friends of 2pac/Biggie".
Like i always say - post death. Dont forget theyre enterainers. They fiend for attention whether they claim street...
