Okay, so we pretending that Dungeon Fam, Busta, Timbo, Swizzy, all of Cash Money and shit weren't doing it in the 90s? I know you're mostly clowning, but you're coming off real young sounding right now.
cash money got hot late 90s. Busta, i give you. Dungeon fam....not neccissarily. Timbo/swizzy were producers, and they werent making "conscious" records to "go along" with the party records as you say.
what party singles did you get from
dmx (some of his joints worked at the party, but they damn sure weren't "party records")
mobb deep
black moon
wu tang
gangstarr
redman
common sense
the roots
smooth da hustler
fugees
etc
alot of thier shit might have "worked" at the party...but they werent intentional party tracks talking about alot of nothing/bullshit.
with that said, I am disregarding the whole west coast here...they actually made party singles and the prior argument stands for them.
Sorry, bro, but you're just factually incorrect. Cash Money was always about party records. The landscape is littered with the bones of rappers like Soulja boy who only made 1 club hits or people like MC Hammer who only made pop shit. Clubs didn't start in the aughts, bro. There has always been ignant music.
Now, I do think there is more ignant than not today in the mainstream.
No, you're wrong, cause the original argument was that Artists that made conscious records also made a party record first to go along with it. Cash money wasn't making conscious records. that shit was intentionally for the club
