The Hot Boys Could've Been The Biggest Group Ever! Stunted Growth Music

[@stuntedgrowthmusic]

Regardless, The Hot Boys is still a legendary group and still one of my favorites of all time. Where would they have been had they stayed together.

[@rasheemfoster87]

Trust yup

[@JasonSkillern-n2b]

Yo my nigga wats understood (really overstood) ain’t gotta be explained!

[@17thN.O]

As a New Orleanean this is my favorite group of all time. As a teenager and in my 20s in the 90s and 2000s I listened to them religiously. They really represented what New Orleans really was on a street level that we was really livin way more than No Limit, you would actually see them around the city. (even tho I got love for them too) #WHOADIE

[@matthalsey7808]

One of the very greatest groups. Early cash money is untouchable 😊

[@ygdamayor4505]

All facts plus tax!!!

[@robertthompkins5633]

Birdman was that growth stunt. He switched once universal dropped that dough

[@17thN.O]

That's true too.

[@ZaeOSWS]

I mean Birdman’s brother said he was only in it for the money, even went as far as using Hot Boys as their group name since it already had local notoriety and the members weren’t doing anything to legalize themselves.

[@robertthompkins5633]

Baby did BG, Juve, Turk, Manny and even Wayne dirty. It's funny when you go making a few thousands to multi millions ppl show the true color

[@shauncameron8390]

BG's performance on Help was nothing short of FIYAH! Lil Wayne was to CMR what Kobe Bryant was to the Lakers. They both went from playing 2nd fiddle to someone else to carrying the franchise on their backs through their down years to being the faces of their eras.

[@Modeek6]

Lil wayne is the magic johnson of cmr. He carried them. No one carried him. Kobe was a sidekick.

[@Da_Humble_Life]

Naw Kobe def won't a sidekick..Shaq wouldn't win without him like he didn't win in Orlando ​@@Modeek6

[@Modeek6]

@@Da_Humble_Life kobe was a robin. A sidekick. Thats the reason why he wanted his own team and wanted to win without shaq sooo bad. He said it out of his own mouth. Kobe was great. But his first 8 years in the league he was a sidekick.

[@StandOnBizness5]

⁠@@Modeek6Juvenile was the star ⭐️ of the group back then and was carrying Ca$h Money

[@17thN.O]

​@@StandOnBizness5That is a fact. Youngsters and people not from New Orleans don't know. I am from New Orleans (17th ward). Juvenile, then B.G. was the stars of the group, then Lil Wayne, Lil Derrick (Bulletproof) and Turk was the young boys of the group. When they signed to Universal and the money disputes happened (Juvenile initiated it and left first) Universal and Baby decided to put all the resources and effort behind Lil Wayne he was most loyal to Baby (and got effed over for his troubles and had to sue him and almost got taken out by him). Juvenile took Baby to court, got paid $4 million and had to make 1 last album (Juve The Great) which Juvenile made and had his producers make most of the beats. Mannie had a couple of tracks on there. But Juve and CMR was a odds even throught that. If you wanna say drugs is why BG and Turk wasn't pushed well they was on drugs the entire time and Wayne has always been on drugs, soooo.... That was a Universal Records decision and Wayne was scared to leave. He was even supposed to sign with JayZ in 2002-2003 by got scared. It wasn't because he was this big star and Juvenile and BG wasn't as good as him. They were better in my opinion. If it weren't for those 2 CMR would have never went national. Also Hot BoyTurk is really good on group, team up songs like they did on all their songs back in the day. He is not a good solo artist in my opinion, but he does have value.

[@kevinumba6281]

Money can tear people apart

[@robertthompkins5633]

BG left after money issues and drug and jail issues. Juvenile left after money issues Same with mannie fresh

[@DOLLAMAC190]

Wayne and Turk as well. Dude a thief. Now he's starting shit between Turk and B.G., just so he can get his grubby hands back in their money pot and take Turk's cut.

you got A LOT of information VERY WRONG, fam 😂😂 Baby & Slim is NOT from the Magnolia and didnt LIVE in the projects with their dad.. they lived on Saratoga & Erato in the 3rd Ward and then a house in the 13th ward Juvenile’s first album “Being Myself” came out on Warlock Records… his first album on Cash Money is Soulja Rags.. that was the one that was a local success. Let’em Burn was the Hot Boys last album, not Guerrilla Warfare.. nobody was “envious” of Lil’ Wayne.. every gripe revolved around MONEY!!… resentment was only towards Baby Lil’ Wayne didn’t perform with Juvenile and BG because Turk wasn’t involved.. he feels like it’s not a reunion unless EVERYBODY is involved… Turk been on drugs since his Cash Money days.. and the shoot out with the laws was because it was an illegal search.. this is why he’s free..

[@CHOPPAHCITYTV504]

This all facts #Stamped

[@rayedmonds6108]

You're right about everything. I'll give SGM a pass on Guerilla Warfare being their last album. Including Let 'Em Burn is like Including Born Again as part of BIG's catalog. It is, but with an asterisk next to it.

[@twin78]

Thanks to Birdman, we'll never see a solid group like the Hot Boys again. Here's a strange, but crazy fact. ALL the Hot Boys had did jail time, at some point of their lives
