5 Rappers Who Should Sign To Cash Money Records

Cash Money is an army, better yet…an army made up of washed-up recruits. Earlier this week, Bow Wow shocked the rap world when he announced that he has signed a new deal with Baby and Slim’s iconic New Orleans label. And a few months ago, Philly rapper Freeway also announced that he has inked a deal with CMR. Who’s next?

Since the label has started inviting refugees from other labels to join its roster, we decided to suggest some other artists in need of a career boost who could benefit from getting down with Cash Money. Check out the fake album covers and details behind our proposed projects below…

ARTIST: LL Cool J
CASH MONEY DEBUT: Baby Said Knock You Out
THE PITCH: After failing to go gold for the first time in his career with 2008’s Exit 13, Uncle L is a free agent in need of some serious career counseling. Who better to get him back into fighting shape than Birdman? Please, call it a comeback!
STANDOUT TRACKS: “Purple Syrup In a Styrofoam Cup Getting Drunk By Weezy,” “Tuesday & Thursday (Time To Take My Heart Pills),” “Jingling, Baby” (f/ Birdman’s Balls)

ARTIST: The Game
CASH MONEY DEBUT: 1,000,000 Degreez
THE PITCH: First Juvenile put Cash Money on the map with his album 400 Degreez. Then Weezy threw a subliminal at him with 500 Degreez. Then Juvenile responded with 600 Degreez. And now The Game ups the ante (as he always does), rehashing and name-dropping everything his labelmates did before he joined the team, with even more degreez. A million of ’em!
STANDOUT TRACKS: “I Feel Like Dying, Too!”, “I’m So Whodi,” “One More Blood,” “Slim’s Advocate,” “I Am The Hot Boyz”

El-P Is Drivin’ Down The Block Too

El-P is one seriously talented dude, even if we don’t always like his music. After Company Flow’s 1997 debut Funcrusher Plus became an underground classic, El-P left the group to found Def Jux and release a series of increasingly grating, esoteric solo albums that got love from his fanbase, but ultimately had zero impact on hip-hop in general.

While his last album showed signs of Producto rediscovering his in-the-pocket flow and apocalyptic bounce beats, his new remix of Kidz In The Hall’s “Driving Down The Block” confirms it'El-P is back on his bullshit! With a new beat and 1.5 original verses, he turns the Duck Down duo’s laid-back, retro banger into a cop-dodging anarchist anthem. Tomorrow and Saturday, the Kidz will be joining El-P and Dizzee Rascal when their spring tour comes to New York and Philly. Listen to the remix after the jump.
