The Cash Money formula was growing in success, and this would be the project that perfected it.
JUVENILE 400 DEGREEZ ON YOUTUBE CODE
While I don't think this is the best Juve album (Tha G Code deserves that distinction), it is certainly the most infamous and the highest selling, currently sitting at 6 million records sold, the highest selling album in the history of Cash Money Records. With the world at his feet and the crown ready to be rest on the Cash Money mantle, Juvenile created his biggest album and what I like to consider a true hip hop classic. It was the southern drawl backed by the firepower of his lyrics that gave Juve his highest appeal. He was the leading MC of Cash Money and at the time, aside from DMX, he was my favorite rapper. Long before Lil Wayne considered himself one of the best rappers, and before the foundation was split between Cash Money and Young Money, Juvenile was the man for CMR. It was this album that asserted the dominance of CMR and solidified Juvenile as a true star. What spawned this influence? Well although I had heard Cash Money music through 19, the album that truly struck me was the November 1998 release of 400 Degreez by Juvenile. I wanted to be a Cash Money millionaire and young True reflected that through some of the songs he wrote (man it was pretty bad). In addition to influencing me in general, Cash Money was the main reason I started writing lyrics. As an artist myself, one of the major influences in the beginning of my journey was Cash Money Records, as their music spoke to me at the time, with the harsh reality I lived around, along with the dreams that I had of better. When I look back upon my fondest memories of hip hop, there are albums and moments that are near and dear to my heart. ^ "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums – Year-End 2000".^ "Top Billboard 200 Albums – Year-End 2000".^ "Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums – Year-End 1999".^ "Top Billboard 200 Albums – Year-End 1999".^ "Juvenile Chart History (Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums)".^ "Juvenile Chart History ( Billboard 200)"."Juvenile: 400 Degreez : Music Reviews : Rolling Stone". ^ "Juvenile :: 400 Degreez :: Cash Money"."400 Degreez - Juvenile | Songs, Reviews, Credits". ^ "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".Mannie Fresh - Producer, engineer, mixing."Ha" contains a sample of "Solja Rag" from Juvenile's previous album."
