In my opinion, Murphy Lee and Nelly were the two most talented MC's in the St. Lunatics. No disrespect to Kiyjuan and Ali, but Murphy Lee and Nelly's verses always stood out in every song.
He'll yea murph was the second blow up because his album sold platinum now and single did won Grammy hit the charts top charts everything he done it the only problem he had was the label they should've drop his second album and let him do the same thing he did previous album he probably would've had 10 album out with 30 million sold and alot awards but he still the goat
I always knew Murph was the official one out of the bunch and all this does is validate it. Respect to the king. He just opened up for Erykah Badu too a couple months ago here in the Lou. #STLLIFE
R Les is that dude. He did work for/with Fabolous, Diddy, Cassie, Jim Jones. He ain't get the big spotlight but he real nice tho. Better than some of the artists in the spotlight
I think almost everyone knows it's better to be independent than with a major but as a DJ told me a while back (and Murphy Lee confirmed it in this video), there's nothing wrong with initially signing with a major when you get in the game to get that structure if you dont have the bread. That's what K.R.I.T. did. Then after an album or two and getting those connections then you can go independent
Sounds easier said then done. You damn sure ain’t getting a one album deal or even two album deal. Labels won’t have leverage with that. 4 -5 album deals is what’s most common and that keeps you under wraps for a while.
It actually is in the age of social media. Yes getting 50K-100K views indy is hard as hell but, as Murphy Lee said in the previous video, artists these days gotta come to the table with a social media following and organic views before getting seriously looked at by a major. They dont wanna miss out on that money
His Verse on “Batter Up”, even as a 14 year old Freshman…. I knew even then that Murph Deerrty was different than the rest of the members in the group. I bought the St. Lunatics album for the fact it was more of Murphy Lee’s Debut more so than the group. Everybody had their own vibes, but Murphy Lee always had the right bars to close of a track or fill in the areas to give it the right extra touch. Most only wanted to think it was a Nelly and friends album.
Better pen than Nelly, but half the personality. He was the lunatic that could really rap, but overall good subject matter was the run of the mill floss bars
I got that “BackUoBackUpBackUp...BaaaaackUuuuup” in the whip with me to. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂. Shout out to Murphy-Lee for remaining humble and learning the ways of the world instead allowing the world to phuck up is mindset. 👍🏿👍🏿💪🏿
@@meladgoat You can't compare Chingy to the people that was in Nelly's crew. Nelly actually put Murphy Lee on. Chingy was just someone who Ludacris and the music industry propped up as competition to Nelly. That is a false equivalency. That's like saying 50 cent was jealous of Tony Yayo because of how competitive he was with Ja Rule. No, 50 put Yayo on. And Ja Rule someone who was propped up as competition for 50. You can't compare that.
I al aways thought Murphy Lee was like. A corny rapper growing up (IM 41) but when I listen to him talk I can tell He closer to a real dude than a fake one! He speaks from his heart it seems! Bless him
i always enjoy B High's interview. He shows the inner workings of an elite industry that most people don't get to learn about. Thank you for this content!
@@NicoleC007 I've met him once while promoting a gospel concert years ago & he told me that flyers cost. We should be selective about who we hand out flyers to because we don't know who's coming to the concert. I knew then he was a bum. Won't even spend the money, or effort to invest in himself. Which is why only thing ppl remember is "What The Hook Gon Be".
@@KingDavid314 I believe it. They were missing gigs and stuff back then too. . .Nelly never missed one show or meet and greet. . .and why isnt he being honest, he went behind Nelly back and signed a deal. Cant blame Nelly for that deal not working out, he never signed with Nelly 🤷🏽♀️ that was his fault, thinking that label was going to look out for him
Murphy Lee and the st. Lunatics were style originators. It shows with the skull cap over the fitted. I remember back in my middle school days at the height of their careers folks would wear the Jersey half way on. Kinda weird looking back but it was original.
I get what Murphy Lee is saying....United we stand, Separate we fall. AND his analogy on how working together to make money in different ventures or ways makes so much sense. For example, Nelly is considered the "show pony" of the crew. So automatically, whatever he puts his name to, it'll have some notoriety. Secondly, Murphy Lee could have a gift for learning about Real Estate or Investments. So therefore, they all could come together and invest in some properties or something. Thirdly, another member of the crew could know about Licensing & Trademarks. So then they could come up with a product and have equal shares in the product! But, that makes so much sense how he explained that and broke it down. Because at some point, everyone needs a little help, if you haven't had some of fruits established and put away for a rainy day.
Nelly bigged Murphy Lee up in that interview.. he didn't mean that shit towards you because he could've took the welcome to Atlanta remix and you wouldn't have gotten the shake ya tail feather either
Murph durph! The hardest lunatic. His verses was always catchy. I remember when diddy Nelly and murph dropped tail feathers you could see the club spitting Murphy verse word for word. He shoulda ate his blessings and kept going
His verse on AF1s will always be stuck in my head 😂 so fire.. that era was something else. Thank y'all for the memories fr.
“She said I love you Murph, especially in the white & blue “ 😂😂😂😂

His ass a goofy
Murphy was always my favorite and usually had my favorite verses.
Murphy Lee was becoming a star. His debut album was fire and he had two hit singles with “Wat Da Hook gon Be” and Luv me Baby
He was trash
Nelly made sure that ain't happen he probably wanted to be the only star..
Nowhere near being a star

Murphy Lee the school boy was the best Loonatic hands down. That track with Jazzy Pha is still in my rotation til this day!
Murphy was supposed to be the next big thing back in the day. Unfortunate he ain’t blow cuz he was dope.
dope as hell! He was still the hottest in 03/04.

Still jam me some Murphy Lee every day, his flow is 🔥
Nelly didn't wanna be outshined. 😪

Murphy was signed to the
Derrty Ent./Universal Records like Nelly in 2003
Showing my age I use to crank Murphys Law. Thinking about it is Causing nostalgia of the Easy days before I had to Adult.
Before I had to adult...that should be in schools lol💯😭😭😭😭
This is why most companies open up their LLCs, and Corporations with no state taxes. You can look that up.
