Throughout the '90s and well into early part of the new millennium, the
Cash Money mafia carried the
Dirty South flag in a way few other labels/groups have. While
No Limit Records was at the pinnacle of its game,
Cash Money quietly positioned itself to inherit the crown with a string of chart-topping hits; and when the
Cash Money empire began its downward slope, many looked to
Juvenile and company to inherit the crown. This compilation harvests some of the group's finest moments from its solo and group efforts, with the king-jewel of the crown being
Juvenile's runaway
Dirty bounce smash
"Back That Azz Up." In comparison to other label families overrun with a stable of talent and endless finances, the arsenal of
Cash Money was comparatively limited, and that's definitely a good thing, as
Mannie Fresh cooks up
Dirty South beats like few can and the boys deliver their trademark raunch and style so easily identifiable. This is an amazing document and an essential piece of
Dirty South history. And while die-hard fans of
Cash Money will most likely already have all of these hits, casual fans need look no further than here.
