Carnival

I'm foaming at the mouth just thinking about it.

don't rain on my parade, or shatter my dreams of being accepted into the black community.

YES. "N of tha World" is the best CD I've heard this year. What about your internet friends sending you ICP over AIM. Then you claiming to listen to it, but not really doing so.

agreed nah, wait. I'm more fond of the mossburg.

I declare for the draft.

I don't play madden. I actually play the games on NCAA, but just sim everything on madden. already led the bills to the super bowl, and I'm tired of it.

My players from my college dynasty get no love in the draft classes. this sucks.

2nd Paul/stylesmark 2nd Czech 2nd Slayer I nominate Kotz...or if he so chooses..however the rules work.

I need to know when this airs.

for one, he's not very smart if he'll take a bump like that. jesus christ that looks nasty.

who is it? I can't tell.

wtf is this?

Yeah, it's a cover of it.

Some examples of his ill shit Paid Vacation My Mind's Playin Tricks On Me Sleepers

I know, I know. but he's fucking dope and should be earning millions making radio hits.

suck my black cock Lushus. Kottonmouth Kings have two things against them. Bad rapping and lack of subject matter. But, I've said this before....If KMK was mainstream then Daddy X would be mentioned in the same breath as Manny Fresh, Timbaland, Dr. Dre and Kanye for his production skills.

Shaggy Dope's back piece. It says "Detroit" in it. I always thought that was cool.

Yeah, you're right it's only an EP.

I'm glad Art of War made the list. People act like E1999 was Bone's only CD. This is how I'd rate my Bone albums. 1. Creepin on ah Come up 2. Art of War 3. Ressurection 4. E. 1999 Eternal Also good to see Eminem Show get some respect. And I give Nelly props for Country Grammar, even though I hate him. Here are some Midwest albums I'd consider... Atmosphere - Seven's Travels Tech N9ne - Absolute Power Psychopathic Rydas - Rydin Dirtay

Well you can't "prove" that Cash Money would have just as big without Master P, but I think they would have. Master P throughout his career, is more gangsta rap, but Ghetto D and Da Last Don were half gangsta/bounce. Mystikal was more bounce, but less known.

MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are great examples of white people buying into rap. And guess what? They weren't just one time platinum, Ice sold 7 Million records and Hammer went fucking Diamond with "Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em." Which is exactly my point. What Lushus and I have been trying to say is a larger percentage of white people will buy the album if it's mainstream. But it's safe to say that Black people are buying it first. In my experience, I lived in small town Nebraska, I didn't even know Outkast existed until "Rosa Parks" came out. And the only person I knew that was aware of Outkast before that was my step-bro from Kansas City, he had ATLiens. But by that time, we both had like 4 Master P albums. And the Kris Kross comparison is terrible. It's obvisous to everyone else, except you, that Master P and No Limit helped pave the way Cash Money. I agree that maybe Master P opened the door to Mainstream America for them but Cash Money blew it off the hinges.

Maybe you could challenge me to a fight, Mr. Maturity. That is a generalization, not a "dumb statement". Want proof? There. You proved it right there, although inadvertently. As rap music becomes more mainstream, more white people are buying it than black people. That's what Lushus is trying to tell you. The black commuinity who was into hip hop heard of Outkast way before white mainstream America did. Especially locally. Where are your statistics to back that up? If you are going to make dumb statement like more white people than black people bought Southerplayalistic, then you should have the evidence to back it up. Sound familiar? How can you call what Lushus said "dumb" and in the same post make the same kind of statement? Now that is "dumb". But P blew up first...thus paving the way for Cash Money. To the trained ear they make different music than No Limit, but to mainstream America, it's all southern bounce shit. I agree, he did not expose the nation to southern rap alone. I never said he did. But he was the biggest one at the time.

god, EHME will disagree with anything. asking for statistical evidence of white people buying Outkast records. What a nitpicky douche. Master P brought attention to the south and paved the way for all Bounce rappers. Thats Cash Money, thats Lil John, Ying Yang fags...all that shit. You can say...blah blah woulda done this anyways...well, he didn't. Master P did. As for your Outkast platinum claims. Only 2 of them could be considered mid-90s. Southernplaya.. came out in 94, didn't go platinum till 95. Atliens when plat the year it came out in 96. It didn't go double platinum 'till 2003. Thats almost 3 years after Stankonia.(So Black Lushus has a point) Aquemini came out and went double plat in 99. Master P already sold 2 million copies of Ghetto D and 4 million copies of Da Last Don(2CD) before Outkast EVER went double platinum. Both in 98. I don't care about your list and personal opinion of music. Hate Master P. Whatever. But don't even think for a second that Master P didn't blow up mainstream before Outkast did. And stop skewing facts. Better yet, just shut the fuck up if you don't know what you are talking about.
