Background/Description (courtesy of an RYM user because I really couldn't find anything else)

Mannie Fresh and Cash Money had a bunch of records before 1997, but this was the year were the label really started to matter. They could not yet match the massive sales of No Limit Records, but the quality of their music stepped up and released a bunch of dope records that are better than No Limit's stuff. B.G. was one of the first rapper to release material for the label (with 1993's True Story), but he really became an important player for the label with no less than 3 albums in the same year. Chopper City was the first one released and just like all Cash Money albums, it features production from the one and only Mannie Fresh. This guy brought a whole new flavor to southern productions, what set apart his beats from those of No Limit is the amount of details he puts into them, if you pay attention closely there is always something happening in there. Lyrically I've always liked B.G., he's nothing that special with the most generic subject matters, but I don't know I like his voice and flow, his style is fresh and works quite well over these beats. While I don't think that Chopper City is Cash Money's peak, nor is it the best B.G. album, it's still a very good southern hip hop album and definitely should be checked out by those who are fans of Mannie Fresh.

Guidelines

This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism. This is your chance to practice being a critic. It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!!

How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't.

DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE!!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged.

Next week's EAOTW will be 2Pac - All Eyez On Me
