popgirlsetc: You know what I realized as I was browsing through the hip-hop section today?
dischorddesoto: What’s that?
popgirlsetc: There seems to be a direct correlation between the “gangsta”-ness of certain albums and the crappiness of the album art.
dischorddesoto: Shittier the cover, the more gangsta?
popgirlsetc: Yeah. Case in point: Anything affiliated with that whole Cash Money Millionaires scene back in the late 90s.
popgirlsetc: Master P.
popgirlsetc: You retard.
dischorddesoto: Master P is an evil genius.
dischorddesoto: Easily one of the most legitimately wealthy men in the rap game, and he did it with zero talent and a stable of shitty rappers.
dischorddesoto: Most of these guys are well-off to a degree. But he’s like Russell Simmons-loaded.
dischorddesoto: Insanity.
popgirlsetc: I bet L’il Jon’s probably socked away some decent scratch. His whole thing is so clearly a gimmick. He seems like he’s pretty smart with his cash.
dischorddesoto: True.
dischorddesoto: Though he can at least produce some legitimately catchy songs and club hits.
dischorddesoto: Master P had nothing.
dischorddesoto: Jermaine Dupri is the other secret genius.
dischorddesoto: Dude’s been making rap and R&B hits for like 15 years now. He’s loaded.
popgirlsetc: Yeah, but he’s always been really commercial. That’s not surprising at all.
dischorddesoto: Oh, definitely.
popgirlsetc: Dude, 15 years?! Has is really been that long since Kriss Kross? Shit.
