UNLV's 6th & Baronne is perhaps his best all-around album: the bloops and bleeps and the stuttering beats mesh perfectly with UNLV's harsh sing-song lyrics. This album and its massive regional success were a big part of Cash Money getting their Universal deal--of course, rumor (right) has it Baby had Yella Boy (their most talented MC) killed not soon after its release so UNLV's later (non Cash Money obv) stuff is not so hot.

Their previous record, Mac Melph Calio is interesting, partially 'cause there was apparently some kind of mastering problem and the sound kind of distends every now and then, kind of like how I imagined DJ Screw would sound (before I heard his stuff and was bored as all hell).

The later Cash Money stuff everyone knows but I think his greatest beat is LW's "Get Off the Corner." The kick (as it were) drops in and out and what in a normal song would be the percussive horn stab starts out as a police siren and ends up (in the songs 2nd movement) a shotgun being racked. It's a thing of great great beauty.

I'm not entirely clear on who produced the very early Cash Money stuff but there is certainly MF-esque gold to be found--anything by Pimp Daddy (there are several but I refer to the New Orleans MC) is spectacular, though he too died an untimely death on the eve of greater success. Tim Smooth is good too but his beats were more organic, less on the cheap Korean killer robot music side of things.

juvenile feat. bg - "dog azz"

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 4 July 2003 17:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Also--Big Tymers "Rocky Balboa"

Why was Baby having people killed?

(Hot Boys - 'My Section' = it sounds like a muffled bass bump in the trunk of a car + some other drums, taking it back to the motherfuckin' gutter.

Lil Wayne - 'Shine' = for maximum pure candy Dirty South keyboards like double or more sped up Ashanti + Ja Rule duet music.)

Why was Baby having people killed?

God only knows. It's NOLA folklore. My boy Josh (aka Ghetto R*d--New Orleans' best and only 300-pound white bounce rapper!) is full of great stories about who got shot and why. Just about everybody has been shot/accused of shooting someone/investigated by the "feds." Apparently. My fantasy is to write a bestselling oral history of New Orleans hip hop.

you should do this!!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Friday, 4 July 2003 18:27 (twenty-two years ago)

seconded! I'd read that shit in a minute!

― M Matos (M Matos), Friday, 4 July 2003 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmm... the difficulty is that I have no idea how to actually write a book. It seems like a big job. Also how do you ask, say, Baby the hardball questions? Even if he's not the hit-ordering type he's certainly the having-someone's-ass-beat type.

the best cash money beat i've ever heard is the hott boyz remix of 'ha' but i'm not sure if mannie had anything to do with this

>the best cash money beat i've ever heard is the hott boyz remix of 'ha' but i'm not sure if mannie had anything to do with this<

up until last year or so, mannie produced everything released by
cash money, so yes this was yet another "fresh production."

also:
"I Know"--BG
"Tha Block Is Hot"--Lil Wayne
"Ride With Me"--Juvenile
"Connected For Life"--Mack 10, Ice Cube, WC

by all means avoid that horrible whistle song he did for petey pablo

Oh shit, I can't believe I forgot Big Tymers - "#1 Stunna."

― Johnny Badlees (crispssssss), Sunday, 6 July 2003 17:54 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

The sickest Cash Money song is "Cutlass,Monte Carlos, & Regals" by the Big Tymers on How You Luv That, vol. 2 and Juveniles "Hide Out or Ride Out" featuring Turk and Wayne on Soulja Rags.

three months pass...

Just listening to the Cash Money Instrumentals thing. Fresh is a genius. So much shit you never hear with the rapping in there.

Anyway, Juve's back, anyone heard that new one? 'In My Life' I think its called. Cool song. Juveezy sounds sorta different. I guess they sorta grew up. Now they just need to get BG back and Cash Money will once again be an army.

twelve years pass...

i could not stop thinking about the juvenile tiny desk concert and how great it was to see mannie fresh, but i didn't know much of his stuff. i remember it used to fly off the shelf back when i worked at a music store.
so i started with the "this is mannie fresh" playlist and now i listen to mannie fresh every single day.
current faves outside of BTAU:
"And Then What" w Jeezy
"Move Fast" w Galactic, Mystikal
alt-BTAU featuring the Preservation Hall Jazz Band
