3. "This is THE landmark album from the era when Louisiana ran rap music" In response to In response to 0
though it was a brief time overall. But Juvie had two very impactful moments in that overall history. First in the early days (the bounce era for lack of a better term), Bounce for the Juvenile was epic if you grew up along the I-10 corridor. Cats tried to hate, notably U.N.L.V., but where they at now???
Second was 400 Degreez, this album IMO, legitimized Louisiana rap music to an extent that neither P nor anyone else on No Limit ever could. Juvie was the fuckin barometer, not Wayne, not Mystikal, and certainly not P.
I said all that to say YES. Shit's a classic, a universal one, not just Louisiana.
