^damn. Ain't that bout a bitch. That thread was literally my favorite thread I ever had the pleasure of reading/posting in on the internet. We should all try to recreate it; this thread is a damn fine start. s/o to the t/s
anyway, on topic, Big Boy definitely had the lyricists. Just think if Big Boy had blown up instead of CM, &/or if Def Jam woulda been able to sign Mac before P, so many possibilities. Big Boy > No Limit > Cash Money.
Anyone else find it funny how N.O. had lyricism & Bounce (Hip & Hop, respectively) coexisting in harmony then the 2 corrupt companies (NL & CM) blew up, & more or less amplified the popularity of gangsta/materialism/money/etc rap that's so prevalent in the mainsteam since the 00s, & now N.O. is fixing its mistakes by birthing artists for this new generation such as Jay Electronica & Dee-1
I wish I could contribute a lot to this thread right now, but it's late & I got class in the A.M. so I'mma leave yall with some artists not yet mentioned; Ruthless Juveniles & L.O.G.

Check a pre-No Limit Mac spittin the first verse
I'm working on uploading the Psychoward album (crew Mac was down with before NL); I literally searched every deep dark corner of the internet to find the album, but it was worth it. I'll post the link(s) in the thread at a later date if yall want.
Also have that Magnolia Slim EP Darkside, & some of his shit from Down South Hustlers
Also have this rare gem of an album; $50 on amazon but so worth it. I'll also upload this & post links if yall want, since it's hard to come by on youtube (& only 3 songs at that, last time I checked).
*not letting thread die*
