3 Rappers That Played Hip Hop The Right Way! Stunted Growth Music
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 сер 2024
- The music business is one of the biggest industries in the world. Revenue in music has risen substantially over the years, reaching an all time high in the U.S alone of nearly 16 million in sales according to the RIAA. Due to factors like streaming, social media and digital works that can now be sold, without the overhead of having physical CDs or tapes to offload, music has never been easier for talented artist to get a start and flourish in whatever lane they so choose. In the last 10+ years rappers have relied on using trends that became popular on social media, and the boom of the influencer industry to promote their music and join the wave all the way into financial success. Up until now I haven’t even mentioned the word talent. That’s because in that same span, talent believe it or not hasn’t been the biggest determining factor in if an artist can blow up or not, as long as they find an interesting way to attract eyes ears and followers, as they ride the trend all the way to shore. Back when hip hop first started it was all about talent. You didn’t have crutches like social media, UA-cam covering artist in interview format daily, or streaming farms in some remote location running up the numbers to make an artist with a wealthy investor seem bigger than his talent actually is. You had to rap back then and you had to do it well. That means cadence, your bread and butter flow, which was important to switch up and come with new ones from time to time, stories, similes metaphors, braggadocios, entendres, charisma, and you had to be believable. Today I want to look at 3 rappers I think played the game the right way, against all those odds mentioned earlier, became stars in their time, each holding the crown at some point in their careers as the best rapper in the game. Sure they had flaws, as nothing is perfect, but as far as being a rapper, especially from an older time period like the 90s or early 2000s, these rappers got the most out of their 20+ years in the game and are still talked about today, most importantly, still alive and well, flourishing in other ventures now that they understand the genre that they love is a young man’s game and every artist has to find and be ready for that point they have to get off the ship. 3 Rappers That Played Hip Hop The Right Way!

Much respect to how these rappers transitioned from being superstars in their prime, each holding the crown at some point, to life beyond rap successfully. Jay 50 and Nas did it the right way for older rappers. The pinnacle of what young rappers should aspire.
That breakdown before the first growth spurt was 💯
50 Cent has 2 classic albums
1. Get Rich Or Die Tryin
2. Before I Self Destruct 💯💯
There is a line in 50 cent song 'Your life's on the line', where he says "Now here's a list of MCs that could kill you in eight bars
50, um... Jay-Z and Nas" - it's really aged well.
Good video on these 3 guys for sure. I think as far as new school artists thats playing the game the right way would be the obvious ones of Drake,J Cole and Kendrick tho
Jigga only made it this far due to lets see: 2Pac getting murdered
Biggie getting murdered
Big L getting murdered
Ma$e retiring due to snake combs suspect business practices
Big Pun passing away at barely 28
Nas is an excellent example
Instead of jigga
J Cole would be a much better example
50 cent run came an went like a NFL RB 3.4? Years? Haha at least we have Power
Jay & Nas got more than 3 classic albums!
Nah, to me 50 has got 3: Get Rich, Get Rich or Die Trying Soundtrack and Massacre 🙄🙄🙄 and Nas has got way more that 3 😤 Also Teaming up with Hit-Boy has done wonders for him!
4* if you mention his 1st album Power of Dollar. Pretty underrated.
@@gersonpaulo8900 5* if you wanna include Beg For Mercy
If you think about it Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ soundtrack can be considered a G-Unit album being that the only features artists that were signed to G-Unit
I feel like massacre was built around the hype of GRODT, it was so successful that people wanted to see what more he could do, (hence how his 3rd album didn't sell nearly as much)
@@sierrasymone7590 very true he could sell a blank disc at the time. It was his second album plus he built the hype with g unit radio 10. People were expecting more I guess. It’s almost a double cd with like 2-3 skips
Gotta give Method Man some credit too. Good rapper and turned into a pretty good/successful actor with businesses.
Newer school rappers who are playing their cards right : Kendrick, Cole and Drake. Which is lovely cause they’re from the same era. I miss Wale…
Lil Baby moves proper too.
these were my three when he mentioned the newer era towards the end of the episode. these three have the longest reign in this entire era. they always been on the top of the genre and ventured out into bigger things as well. not drake too much considering he usually made his money through rap. maybe i am wrong about drake in that aspect. j. cole as well.
Why do you miss Wale? He's still consistently putting out quality music.
@@Demsky83 I’m referring to him being in the spotlight and being a talked-about artist. I do appreciate Folarin 2, though. Poke It Out is my jam. He just deserved more from the industry. To me
Master P would’ve made this but his ventures outside of hip hop didn’t have as much success as his music career. He needs a stunted growth or the whole entire no limit records label
Tech N9ne also played the game right for being the best selling independent artist of all time while being in the underground
Honorable mention to Chamillionaire
Fa real. Chamillionare has made great moves.
Didn't drop down his pants and sold his soul 👏
You funny
The Grand Daddy IU clips are appreciated. Thank you. His pen was truly underrated.
This is a really put together video! Good to see Biggie and Granddaddy IU in this giving them some recognition! Jay and Nas 2 of my favorites in this! I like 50's first 2 albums because he took his time making them and I respect his hustler mentality. Really great video, kept me engaged and informed! Rip, B.I.G and Granddaddy IU 🙏!
Nas is the 🐐 and has at least 6 or more classics..
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

@@aizenzae4510 Nas Life is Good, I don't believe that's a classic. Jay Z The Dynasty and The Blueprint 3 and American Gangster are classics. 50cent Curtis isn't a classic
@@aizenzae4510 Stillmatic is a classic
@@terry8046 reread what I put
Nas is the best rapper out of these 3!
Agreed!
I agree
Debatable
DEFINITELY debatable. 50 is my favorite out of the three but he was the one who didn't want to rap for real. The next would probably be Jay, then Nas, then 50, even though my preference is 50, then Jay, then Nas.
@@DeathLoveRobots NOT AT ALL! STOP IT!
The disrespect for Master P is laughable.
Bc his business moves outside of music didn't hit like the moves 50, Jay & Nas made.
@@joshingram071 facts!!!
I love that you took this approach. Would be great for another mini series on your channel - the ones that got it right. Might be a short series, albeit lol. But maybe not once you dig into the old school
When it comes to lyricism, jay and Nas are levels above 50.. and in my opinion, Nas is the greatest living rapper
But none of them can come up with catchy hooks like fif……lyrics is one thing but if you can’t make a good hook then your gonna be seen as wasted talent like Nas for instance.
He is
@@deanbrooks7297 Even 50 know Nas is better than him
@@terry8046 Exactly 😂🤦🏾♂️💯
@@deanbrooks7297 You str8 up tweaking NaS invented catchy hooks way before 50 came in the game you better go and really do your research and listen harder 😂🤦🏾♂️💯
Right on schedule! Need some motivation! Thanks stunted growth
The Massacre and Power of the Dollar are classics
This is a dope video you gotta do another one with old school rappers and then do one with new school rappers
My favorite video outta the stunted music vids, and 50 being my favorite on this list 🔥🔥💯
One of your best videos, showing these legends made respect 💯
Nas & Jay-z got more than 3 classics a apiece. Jay-z BP1, RD, and da black album are undisputed hands downs classics. I would add Vol.1 & 2. Vol.2 is by far his most important for Jay-z it turned him into a superstar. Nas Illmatic, It was written, and Iam are undisputed hands downs classics. I'm going to add Still matic and God Son. 50 arguably da Massacre & Power of the Dollar even though it never got an official release
Da Massacre Was Trash 🗑️
Vol3 is very underrated. Had 99 on lock
Reasonable doubt was not a classic
@@claudegrinnell9602 What Jay-z album you think is better?
@@MurvMuzik Vol.3 was ok to me
You gotta do MORE of this !!
Jay and 50 absolutely. Definitely Interested in the Nas take . Will watch later.
50 Cent has more than one classic.............and he has classic TV shows like power & BMF
Power of a dollar, guess who’s back, get rich or die trying. The massacre. Beg for mercy. Etc
Hell no. The Massacre is the closest but still, not a classic
@@fernandoreyes680 I thought I was the only one who thought this 😅
@@HIPHOPIQ wrong . And beg for mercy isn’t a solo album
These rappers made it happen in hip hop 💯
Thanks much for this video.
Glad you were showing Granddaddy I.U.? He was one of the best to ever grace the mic! #salute
Besides certain rappers being pushed there is way too many nice rappers out here mix tapes prove that !
Honestly the foundation for all of this was the Wu Jay Nas and 50 followed what they layed out in the mid '90s before them Rappers never thought about creating their own industry.
@@dbodbdbodb7174 dbob dbodb first off stupid name by the way LOL now to my point I'm not talking about acting because Rappers have been doing that for years you can see ice- T in Breakin' back in 1984 Rapping i'm talking about branding their the first to do it why do you think The W is everywhere still til this day it was more then the music it was clothing videogames and all different type of endorsements in the mid '90s.
This is probably a wu affiliate talking. Outside of Wu Wear and TV, Wu didn't do anything in regards to business investments. Nas and Jay don't do TV. Nas never had a clothing line. But Wu didn't do business investments, sports agencies, restaurants and tech start ups.
50 got 2 classics albums GRODT and The Massacre both went diamond
Nas is my favorite rapper of all time. And these recent 4 projects with Hitboy just solidified that placement for me.
I’ll put Luda in there too. That’s a perfect example as well.
Yes, Luda just didn’t do anything else in the rap category after he stopped. Like the ones in the video. But I love Luda
50 cent guess who's back and Nas I am album's can be played without skipping and IMO are classic album's💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
50 Cent is a Living Legend ……. 🔥. 🎤
Thr problem with modern rappers/musicians they lack talent and skill like the old rappers did. As I listened to the rap from the 90's and early 2000's it was something meaningful made sense. Songs about love and pain etc. Now, songs these days are just plain terrible and makes no sense...whatsoever.
I don't know if you are a young brother. From the comment, it seems so. Anyway, it's like seeing the light when you go listen to anything from the 90s as a new age rap fan. You can't go back to hearing mediocrity. Glad I grew up on 80s and 90s hip hop. Those times were even better than the music that actually spawned from it. That's a whole different story
@@TheDumontShow Iam a woman and I grew in the 90's. So, I use to listen to it alot when I was younger.
50 was the last of a dying breed
Let me you something. This is the best episode you ever did and you did a lot of great ones but this one?. Man. My favorite. This was fantastic. This had to be done. Brother, you have a sub for life. I dont know if this episode was inspired my comment before or not. All I know it was excellent. Now, you have to do Rawkus Records. I'm telling you. You are the guy who can do it.
As you put it, the race is over for these three. It’s been a while since Jay or 50 put out something I liked. But Nas keeps running up the score. Say what you will about Nastradamus being lackluster, but Nas is incapable of making a bad album. Nasir is as close as it gets for me. Of the three, Nas has easily proven himself to be the true artist, as if it was ever in question.
This episode was 🔥🔥🔥
Great video man
This is a good video and I agree that these three legends did it the right way in hip hop because they listened to the right people for their careers to last as long as they did and they don't ever need to do music again. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
The massacre was a classic buddy
My fav music vid by you so far
Did master p played the game right
50 Got Classic mixtapes don't forget. And he has a soundtrack album for his movie Get Rich
Todays kids will never know what Wanksta did to our 02-03 school year 😂
I was locked up in 02-06 Murda 4 life
@@j2323j oh wow, ok.
This was excellent!
Some of 50 mixtapes are just as good as his albums and slept on
I thought notorious b.i.g. had two albums before he died I didn't know it was one
@@PatrickBarber98 I thought it dropped when he was in cali party.
Thanks for the info I wasn't thinking it was 3wks after it drop and he passed on.
@@bunnysb2587 your more then welcome.
Yeah, he was right. Life After Death dropped three weeks after he died. But I was listening to it way before it came put officially on bootleg. And guess what? Still went and bought the official one on cassette. Possibly the best double album of all time. That album was flawlessly. That certain vibe you got listening felt like the 90s. I wish time machines existed
@@PatrickBarber98 he died 2 weeks before life after death was dropped
ALL NEW YORK !!!🔥
Add LL to this list as the blueprint
New York in the house.
Excellent assessment!! Best SGM thus far! Great work!!
Massacre is a classic and so is Beg for Mercy AND Get Rich or Die Trying soundtrack
This is why he didn't include Get Rich or Die Tryin soundtrack: It's a soundtrack. It was never a 50 Cent album. You have to remember that it was 50 and the G-Unit and some others on that CD. With that said, I agree with you. What a great soundtrack. Window Shopper and Hustler's Ambition has to be two of the best songs he ever done. Beat, lyrics and hooks were near flawless
@@TheDumontShow 🤝
Can you please make these a series like stunted growth , with 3 example and more in depth it would help a lot
Did he say 50 only got one classic album that massacre was great
But no a classic lol cmon lol candy shop ?
Damn New York Queen and Brooklyn 😮
Nas has more then 3 classic albums
Nas reign is from 94 to 02. Can you do growth spurt of rap groups?
Great vid.
Can u do Nappy Roots and Arrested Development next ?
Good video
50 first 2 albums were classics
Agreed 👍!
7 Classics
You should do 3 rappers that played it the WRONG way next
Agreed
1.King Von
2.Ja Rule
U BUGGIN! NaS have WAY MORE than 3 classic álbuns!
All three are 🐐
But NaS is the blueprint to this flow thing 🎤💯
Jay Z only 3 classics?? Damn. Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Black Album, American Gangster, 444 I say 5 😂🤷🏾♂️
Who still talks about American Gangster lmao
And vol 2 jay has 6
@@slimeballmk6656 vol 2 underrated but not classic
My dad bought 50 Cent’s first album
So you must be 10
I believe a million people did the first week
@@shayhill568 😂
I know he wasn't a rapper, but I think Russell Simmons laid the blueprint (not Jay). Jay-Z just took it to another level. Dope episode, though!
Coming from Northern California with much respect but E40 definitely belongs on this list
I think if you were to do three more, definitely have to do Jeezy, T.I. & Lil Wayne. Also Rick Ross would be a good entry. These guys are still relevant to this day and all have classic albums. Also do a stunted growth on Lil Bibby. I think he retired too early and doesn't get enough credit.
I agree about Bibby. He and I share a bday lol… but his growth was definitely stunted. Rap wise.
You are tripping if you think Jay only has 3 classic albums. I guess you had to be there to understand and live through the records in real time to understand. Just so you know these are the classics:
50
Guess Who's Back (hood classic)
Get Rich or Die Trying
The Massacre
Nas
Illmatic
It was Written
I Am
Stillmatic
God's Son
Jay (I'm not even going to name them all just the ground breaking albums)
Reasnoble Doubt
Vol 2
The Blueprint
The Black Album
4:44 (showed the world how to be grown in the rap game)
Watch The Throne (honorable mention)
The disrespect of LL Cool j is astonishing to me. Give the Goat his shine!!!!
Love to hear your takes on things as it’s so well thought through and I grew up listening to the same artists. For historical purposes only: I think Master P was the first to show money in rap by largely keep it indie and running the business himself. Unlike Jay, he uplifted a lot of others instead of harvesting their wave. E-40, Eazy E also… I think I’m forgetting a few but you get the point. Top shit regardless 👊🏾
Do a video on Public Enemy next
You can make this same case for Dr. Dre MyG 💯
New school rapper playing the game today: Drake, Cole, Kendrick, Durk, Travis Scott
Travis may not ever really recover from that concert. And his more recent transgressions. But I do think Drake and Kendrick will be up there
Durk may not make it either if he can’t get past his weird behavior with his ex fiance
Please make a video about tyler the creator growth carreer with Christian Clancy.
You did Jay dirty with that picture 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
If we’re talking CLASSICS:
Nas: Illmatic, It Was Written, Stillmatic, The Lost Tapes, Life Is Good, KD I and II
50 Cent: GRODT, even Guess Who’s Back
Jay-Z: Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime Vol 2, Blueprint, American Gangster, The Black Album
TO ME JayZ's 2 best albums are "In My Lifetime" and "Blueprint 1" he also had some fiya movie soundtrack songs. I haven't really felt most of his music.
Ice Cube, Ice-T, Snoop and Dre transitioned into business well, too
It can be argued that 50 cent's Power of a Dollar unreleased debut (later released in 2002) is a classic also. Hip hop heads know this!
And guess who's back and 50 cent is the future
@@justasimplemanworkinghiswa1569 Power of a Dollar became Guess who's back.
@@WarriorsforInfoTV they got different songs though
I want to know your criteria for a classic album. Curious
I beg to differ hip hop is a young and old man's game because the young has to get old to one day and that goes for any generation to come no one stays young forever and only God decides who's time is up not us 🙌🏾🙏🏾✝️💯
And the young also has to realize that one day when they get old that they wouldn't want there run or legacy to end but that's what God has NaS proving still until this day now that you can still capture the audience of young and old especially with the hit 🎯 boy run 💯
where's LL Cool J, hip hop's 1st 20+ year career, in hip hop he is literally the bluprint for longevity,.....smh
They don't know L is the Goat .
50 cent got two classic his first two albums are numbers back then didn't lie the in pack was crazy that not including the first g unit album
And they're all from NY. We have the greatest rappers of all time! NY stand up!!
50 got 2 classics power of the dollar and Get rich
50 Cent got 2 classics
Much respect to these 3.. but what about Dr Dre Ice Cube??
10:48 Hit the like button for that Quan collab. That was special. 😮😮
Jay Z and Nas have more than 3 classics
Paid in full goat hip hop and most influential hip hop album ever , Rhakim,Nass,,GRap ,Ice cube, Big Pun ,krs1,Scareface Ludacris, Az, Gza ,Lauryn hill,Bustah Rhymes ,Jadakiss, Black thought ,Rahdiggah, Dmc , Beinie Siegel , Eminem,Andre3000,Banks , kurupt a few select others ,are hip hops most natural gifted lyrical MC's ever . Pac himself admitted there were others who are more lyrically better then him ,Pacs great strength was his superior multifaceted subject matter ,energy" nobody outworked him " ,stage presence ,creativity .He wasnt by any means subpar lyrically,but that wasn't his superpower ,it wasn't by no means a weakness ,just not a weapon he could utilize as his most pronounced asset like some I've mentioned could who aren't superior MC's then Pac .
What's been mentioned is accurate but also the reason why Ice Cube & Mack 10 started having problems its between Cube's wife took over as the groups manager....that started a riff between the two. Also because "Cube" had dissed "Cypress Hill". "Mack" was cool with "B-Real"....."B-Real" was a "Blood" like "Mack 10". So naturally, ithe beef rip the group apart. "Dub-C" didn't want no part of the beef between them too.....plus he was cool with "Cypress Hill". The beef was over the song "" & who truly had ownership over that song....."Cube" claim he didn't steal "Throw Your Hands In The Air" which "Cypress" had first. But after the "Friday" movie..."Cube's" version sound so similar but I don't it was too much the same. So in a nutshell, it was really over a song.
🌛⭐🌞🌛🌛🌞🌛⭐😅
50 cent is definitely in my top 5
With the keepers It's hard to tell
Dr Dre, Eminem, And Kanye West are others that have gone to New heights.
Correct this jay z n 50 music careers is done Nas still going re invented his self 3 times Nas still better than both of them .BIG FACTS NO CAP 🧢.
Agreed.
He said The Black Album was a classic Jay-Z release? Yet didn't mention Hard Knock Life or In My Lifetime Vol. 1??? I'm nitpicking here.
He’s a goofy
