I get that but the heroin gave us his best work about 6-7 albums... So we disount that? Cash Money gets disrespected by hip hop... Juvie had 3 straight great albums Soulja Rag , 400 Degreez and GCode..... BG had Tru Story, Chopper City,Its all on u 1 and 2, Chopper City in the Ghetto...., thats arguably 4 classics in a row (but u know how southern albums are not viewed the same)
Think you took it a little too far in saying Tha G Code is a classic. That album was extra average and rushed as hell to capitalize off the success of 400 Degreez.
Yeah I bought it in college but you could tell then they was just tryna capitalize
I think barely a year had passed after 400 Degreez when it dropped. Also it was basically a Hot Boys album, but they needed all the guest features to fill the album out and get it in stores to capitalize off Juvenile's name since he just went 4X Platinum. I think it had like 2 songs on it out of 16 without a feature lol. -

Forgot what track it was but that one line where he said "I feel sorry for yo daughter/She got a ? to call a mother and a father" was cold. -
Fella snort so much, til they nose get sore
It's time to graduate, them bags ain't doing the job no more
Now a needle and some dope, tap that green vein
Smoke blunts sometimes but it's all about that vein
BG remained dope (pun intended) as his addiction deepened but it took the sharpness off his delivery.
When he made CC, IAOU 1&2 he was snorting - when he started banging that ? there was a noticeable change in the tempo and delivery of his rhymes. He will forever be Top 5 in Louisiana to me though and my favorite Hot Boy. -

Would you say that this was around the checkmark era? -
One of the sickest to do it period.
One of a kind flow, delivery, voice and content Nobody else in the game could sound like that . -
? was cool as ? too. Not many southern dudes was on some laid back ? back then. I know the H was in the system but still coo ? tho

He started shooting in late '97 but it started really taking its course around that time, yeah.
On Checkmate his flow was much more syrupy than on previous albums. By the time Living Legend dropped in '03, he was having serious health problems as a result. He had to kick it or he would've died.

Yeah I meant checkmate ? spellcheck

Reality Check
? C never call out BG for his dope prices...Gizzle had it for 22 on that track
But P had it for 16.5 on Bout Dat...inflation a ?
Man Livin Legend bring back memories, Koch Records had next (and every ? pronounced it Koch instead of "coke" but dont matter) -

Was it not pronounced it like that, everytime I heard it actually said that's how it was pronounced and you think people would know how to pronounce the name of the record label they were on:
"Only ? that made 30 mil ? ' with Koch" - Fat Joe
"These ? finally get some fame and think they got it locked/? after yo album flop you gon be on Koch" - Lil Flip

Yeah Checkmate as a whole was just wack to me outside of that "Change The World" track. His flow just sounded mailed in but then again his flow sounded lazy and off on some of his later ? when he was supposed to be sober also. -
I ain't like his flow as he got older
-
I wonder what happened to all his Chopper City Records cats like Gar and Hakim. I know VL Mike ended up leaving the label and getting murdered shortly thereafter.

He spent some time in Detroit before he got locked too

Yea that loss hurt too, for me, VL showed the most promise and talent out all the chopper city team. And I don't think the video exist no more but I remember finding a video on YouTube back in like 2009 or 2010 that must've leaked after he got killed...it was of him talking kinda bad to the camera about BG and they situation. It look like he was wired tf up on coke. He was on some ? and forgot exactly what he said but it made my eyebrows raise and eyes got big when I heard it and it made me wonder if it had something to do with why he got killed. -

Checkmate and G code were solid but unspectacular albums that suffered from the same fate, being released to soon and after landmark albums. -
