What if the old Cash Money would have stayed together?
1. They would have ALL been paid and on top of the rap game together.
2. If they decided to break away and get their own situations they could have signed label deals with Cash Money (Like Young Money did)
3. The Hot Boys would be considered one of the greatest Rap Groups of all time.
4. Turk might not be in jail.
5. Juveniles best work would not have been 400 degreez.
Looking back over the last 10 years the southern rap scene has changed dramatically. One thing remained constant, Cash Money Records. Mainly accredited to the success of Lil Wayne, However being a Cash Money fan and music collector.. its hard to see Juvenile, B.G. have struggling careers and never really reach their full potential. Even Mannie Fresh has seemed to fall somewhat under the radar since his departure from CM. I guess all empires crumble, but what I think we all can learn from Cash Money is that "1 Monkey don't stop no show." neither do 3 or 4 monkeys. Its without a doubt that Cash Money/Young Money has the top artist in the industry today with the new found success of Drake and Nicki Minaj. I love what CM has done as far as making each artists identity seperate yet still fit under the CM umberlla. With new artists emerging like Jay Sean and Kevin Rudolf it seems like the CM brand is moving in a new direction. I wonder how Juvenile feels when he see Lil Wayne and Drake all over the TV and on the radio all day? I guess like they say, hindsight is 20/20.
