I don't consider Hot Boys and Big Tymers first tier, but they certainly are when you put them up against whatever was behind P.
You're talking southern rap legacy
But most importantly, you're talking Mannie Fresh vs some seriously amateur Casio made beats.
For every hit NL had, there were 100+ complete throwaway tracks, and the majority of their albums were just...idk what, but P was laundering a **** ton more money than Birdman could ever dream of.
