musicology1985;1797217 said:Fa sho.' He had a couple of hits on the R&B charts. Puff and Mary changed the game in 1992 with What's the 411 and the remix album in 1993 (the invention of remixes). After that, Hip Hop & R&B would forever be tied at the hip ON RADIO and amongst practitioners and fans of the style.
musicology1985;1797202 said:Puff discovered and produced Father MC's work at Uptown in 1990. That Mase & Loon smooth rap was nothing new. That's one of the reasons why Puff and Fabolous get along so well.
musicology1985;1797225 said:oh yeah, Loso is the 2000's Big Daddy Kane IMO. smooth Brooklyn MC with mad lyrics.
aswadh;1797240 said:I see why you'd say that cuz there's definately similarities between Fab and Kane but Kane was the best or atleast one of the best of his generation. Time caught up with him and he fell off but when he had his run he had n*ggas trying to rap like him and kids (like me back then) looking up to him. Eventhough he was makiing joints for the females he wasn't nobody to mess with. While Fab's aiight he ain't never been on that elite level. I'd say Fab's the 2000's Ma$e (if you wanna compare him).
I remember when came out as Fabolous Sport some thought Ma@e came back...
musicology1985;1797260 said:I can respect that & yes, Loso was sport in '98 on Clue's albums and mixtape joints. Ma$e and Fab never came with the Science like Kane did.
Another MC who benefited from the smooth rap style and is also the most popular for it is Queen's LL Cool J. Puff and the Hitmen have done plenty production for him through the years.

aswadh;1797282 said:Yeah, no doubt.
LL was def an emcee that benefited from that smooth style but it's almost like he had a lane for himself. While in a certain way you could say rappers like Kane and Rakim had rappers that came after them (respectively Big and Jay Z and Nas), I can't think of a rapper who took the baton from LL. He's unique in that sense I guess.
almighty breeze;1797371 said:Starting: Rakim & Jody Wheatley (Ra caught a lot of Flak for that)
Popularized: Teddy Riley/Puff New Jack Swing Era...Blurred the line between how singers and rappers act
Cemented: Meth & Mary '95
musicology1985;1797388 said:I heard Puff and Rza produced that joint. Don't know how true it is but it is likely, since that's who both were led by in their respective camps. I gotta cop that official album.
So you put Rakim above Kurtis, that's cool.
almighty breeze;1797427 said:was Kurtis featured or was it his song i cant remember. i remember it being Rakims song which is why i said that
as far as "You'Re All I Need" u can hear elements from both producers so im not shocked
