if i ever get decently anywhere in music outside of local level i def want to catalog ish in the south from the 80s and early that just arent kept tracked of outside of mjg 8ball, geto boys and three 6

someone has to do it like how the west did in the 2000s

@op

Stevie was making Neptunes s*** back in the 80s.

Crazy how Wayne has songs that are so ahead of their time.

2Pac's Violent - off his 91 debut album when he was still in Oakland has a lot of 2010s elements as well but not as much of the 80s south tape

In The Morning the Thug resemblance is so palpable man literally sounds like bro took this song’s entire sauce

like cmon man

greatest rapper ever

surprised no ones dropped some Soulja boy in this yet

this song such a massive hit it doesnt even sound real anymore

crazy it never got an official release

I think his career would have taken a different path had he released this tbh and that could be a seperate thread

Excellent choice

I love me some Big Moe

Melodic Hip Hop

Wayne is AT LEAST a top 10 most influential rapper OAT IMO

It's tought to pinpoint which of these songs set off that Boogie genre. I will say that "Don't Stop The Music" inspired a wave of similar acts to incorporate the synth riffs.

"I'm In Love" not only revitalized Evelyn's career but it made Kashif a popular producer in the R&B and his Hush sound influenced a bunch of songs between the 1981 - 1987 era of R&B

This song and group right here birthed the entire 90s NY Boom Bap aesthetic, sound, and movement. Dusty asf

no BMF/MC Hammer/Early 2010's New Trap wave without this song

this

Skooly basically birthed Thug/Rich Homie Quan/YFN Lucci/YNW Melly/Rod Wave and that whole Pain Trap Genre ect.

people still think the "London on da track" tag is thugger to this day

zack fox who

All of Drakes timestamp songs are knock-off Joe Budden Mood Muzik era songs

Too f***ing real
