Southern Legends: B.G.
B.G. (Baby Gangsta) first hit tha scene in 1993 as apart of a group with Lil Wayne called the B.G.’z on Cash Money Records. His first solo album was the classic “Chopper City” in 1996 which featured classic records like ‘Retaliation’ and ‘Niggas N Trouble’ with classic collaborations from Mac and Bun B. Not to mention the memorable Hot Boy$ albums that were released, “Get It How U Live!!!” and “Guerilla Warfare”. B.G.’s first major label solo album “Chopper City In The Ghetto” with the single “Bling Bling” introduced the term to the world. He left Cash Money in 2000 after claiming to be fucked out some money by Baby & Slim. He released 6 albums post-Cash Money including the latest 2009’s “To Hood To Be Hollywood”.
Yo I thought B.G.’s first solo album was True Story from ‘93?
It wasn’t nearly as good as Chopper City though, that record is just a fucking masterpiece.
“Uptown got you catchin’ up the guard quicker
They got a t-shirt waitin’ on your fuckin’ picture”
That album and It’s All On U Vol. 1 and 2 are my favorites, but all his stuff on Cash Money is dope as fuck…
