Emerging from the Florida underground, Rick Ross, former correctional officer turned lyrical kingpin, quickly became the hottest MC in the game, and by the time his debut album Port Of Miami debuted on the top of the Billboards, Rozay had become one of Def Jam’s top tier artists racking up classic records, co-signs from hip-hop’s goats and a customary 50 Cent beef along the way. Taking his cues from the artists that he’d grown up admiring, Rozay wasted little time in using his newfound status to form his own label.

I was super invested in the MMG era. I checked out every project that came out from that stable and I honestly feel like all of the artists were good in their own ways, but only a couple were cut out for stardom. Gunplay could've had a huge moment, especially after Cartoons and Cereal dropped, but he got into a lot of legal trouble and released his album about a year after his buzz cooled off. Wale was dope during the swag era, but all his social media antics made people start to look at him as corny and a lot of his gimmicks were hard to relate to. Stalley put out some great music as an MMG artist, but it was basically like CurrenSy without the weed audience built in. I think Ross' taste in artists was a little too refined for the average listener.
Well put. I was also a big MMG fan and wish we would have got a Self Made 4 but it was just too many different styles tryna come together but I appreciate Ross for giving these guys shine!
Well put
Gunplay could’ve had another big moment when he dropped Rollin’, buuuut of course Lil Wayne had to make people forget that was even Gunplay’s song to begin with
💯
Well put my guy. I also didnt understand why Pill wasnt a member of MMG after the 1st album.
Jessica Gomes saying the “Mmmmaybach Music” before every song was the most memorable thing about MMG to me
One of the best tags of all time
How do you know who it is doing the voice?
@@k2gees it was said in a few interviews I think
@@k2gees Look up "The girl behind maybach music"
@@Natak222 has always
I expected Wale to be much bigger than he ended up being. Very Gifted Underrated King .
Who even is Wale?
He did it to himself
Everything Jcole said about Wale was true. Wale got it, but he let the internet eat him up, he let his blindness to what he truly had get to him, and I think Maybach was a terrible fit for him. Ross don't push his artist more than he support Drake. I don't listen to Wale, but during his come up, I keep an eye on him. He got it but he needs a better label to let it shine
Wale's attitude he wasn't humble
@@AnimeProfilePicture wale discography is good just like everyone else says he started to act corny . His team failed him at that . He could have probably been the mmg member
The "Maybach Music" tag is still one of the hardest tags out there 🔥💯
Damn son where'd you find this?
The rap game was in a great place in the early 2010 blog era, u had cliques like MMG, Young money, TDE, Good music, asap mob, odd future etc. and a diverse repertoire of trap, street, lyrical and alternative/underground rap in the industry , now sadly everybody sounds the same and there isn’t a healthy balance of individuality and creativity
Absolutely!!!!! Specifically I always say that 2012 - 2013 was an amazing year for hip hop in the underground and the mainstream. Rap music was in such a balanced and healthy place back then.
I tell ppl all the time the early 2010's era is slept on heavy

@@IamTheDon888 2010-2016
Man good times those were the days
Looking back it’s still crazy how early 2010s rap (like the whole MMG catalog) was so different from everything that came right after it...like night and day
honeslty man 👀
th-cam.com/video/RmsnkvgNp-A/w-d-xo.html
Last bit of real culture trying to hold on
Yep music changed fast around 2015/2016 with the trap soul sound really took over
MMG was ahead of their time. They had the rap game on lock
I really wished better for Wales career. I bump “more about nothing” to this day💯
They need more nothing
I still be bumping old Wale from like 07. One of my favorite artist and he always been fly as shit
I mean,.Wale had a pretty solid career and is still relevant.. not everybody will be a superstar but he is decent
MMG era is super underrated they gave use great quality music. They were probably the last traditional hip hop group.
They weren't traditional cuz it was different artists from different regions coming together to build them up better but I agree they meshed well as best you could in their situation
They were neither traditional nor underrated.
@@shahnawazsooba7904 neither*
@@ayandazulu8014 That's what I said. "Neither"
TDE 🤷🏾♂️
One thing i can say,Ross gave everybody their chance to shine,and that’s all any artist can ask for,if they blew it was because of them,he neva took the credit
Exactly. What a person does with an opportunity is their own fault.
Dude was the example of what every labels CEO should be.
I agree with you, it seems like these artists wasn’t hungry. Like they was waiting for Ross to do all the work. And so they got the results that they got.
I agree and I think because of this when (and I don't wish this for him) Meek gets burnt by Roc Nation and no longer has a viable career he will see he actually had it good.
Also who is out in Meeks label DC? He should be careful and trest his artists the way he wanted to be treated
Bible on the dash is a masterpiece

That track went hard
I don’t think gunplay was ever signed to mmg he was just one of Rick Ross homies.
👍💯💯💯💯💯💯
Definitely amongs the best song from the stable, the video was perfect 👌🏽
Now that I look back it, MMG had a nice little run
Rick Ross brought class and decadence to the rap game. That's an accomplishment.
Agreed, I saw this whole project sneaking up with Ross’s persona along with collaborations with Jay-Z and J.U.S.T.I.C.E League.
“I put Molly all in her champagne she ain’t even know it” 😂😂 real class there from Rick
nah BadBoy and DeathRow did that
Rick Ross just a chubby prison guard who copies what other people been doing for years, he even copied his actual rap name from the real freeway rick Ross... he don’t bring anything new to the rap game. especially not class, that had already been their for years
@@user-jp2vj4cc6p at least you know,.. all the stuff he raps about are stories inmates told em in the day room 🥲😂😂
I miss MMG. High quality beat productions, “”mmmmmaybach music”, when Wale and Meek would start snappin’ on tracks😭🔥
I bet Stalle just simply felt outta place with MMG, he was way too conscious and Ross didn't see his vision creatively
Yep he never fit in at all but Ross new he had something with him tho
Subscribe to my channel!!
I actually feel like Stalley fitted as he was talking about old muscle cars too. He broaden MMG towards the conscious field
@@bhongonkumanda7630 Nipsey was the one who complemented him for me. They were fire together
Ross cut ties with Stalley cause Stalley said some racist shit back in the day and Ross didn't want that. My studio manager is Stalleys manager and he was telling us how it went down
I'll give Ross respect in this sense that MMG wasn't shady, because Eminem would sign rappers and wouldn't even try to push them, shady after a while just became the graveyard of rappers. Where a great artist with a lot of buzz went to die. At MMG at least it seemed like Ross was really going to try to push you, it wasn't just him signing you and letting you rot in the studio and not spending any money to put your record out.
It go both ways. Ross put you in the lime light and we still ain't buying it Them niggaz just not Hot foreal
Wtf u talk bout lol, how eminem got anything to do with this smh y'all love to worry bout the white boy
@@timbrown9796 it's called a "comparison" a consideration or estimate of the similarities or dissimilarities between two things or people.
@@Alexwhatisit compare 50, jay-z n so on lol whatever
@@timbrown9796 why? Those guys had successful boutique labels that launched artists career. Shady didn't match that success, so Shady is my example of a bad boutique label, which MMG wasn't.
Rockie Fresh was so underrated and still is
His 2015 mixtapes is one of the best mixtapes in the last 7 years tbh
His verse on Estate by Martin $ky was dope
@@MrMlbfan6 the mixtape “the night I went to” is one of the best album I’ve listened last decade
I was looking for this kind of comment, very underrated like Euro who at Young Money
Thought he was gonna be like the big Sean of MMG
Shoutout both of Gunplay's dreadlocks
It’s crazy how the group fell off. I thought Wale & Meek we’re gonna carry them to the promised land lol
Subscribe to my channel!!
One of the only criticisms i have for this video is that they didn't discuss Ross dropping Wale from MMG. If Ross could have afforded it he would have kept him. Wale has continued to have hits like "On chill" after MMG while Ross hasn't put out a song as successful.
@@purplehearts8462 what year did Wale leave MMG.
@@purplehearts8462 Wale is still with MMG. He left their partnership label Atlantic.

That 2012 era was crazy
Yes it was
@@prof3ssor178 Self made vol 2 was perfect
It Was Legendary 🏁
Power Circle ⭕️ Top 10 Posse Cuts no 🧢
That shit a classic
@@unknowntrapper2330 Meek & Dot woke up chose violence while anchoring that shit 🤣
Yezzzzzziiiir
MMG RUN WAS A CLASSIC! I respect Ross for doing what he did with all the artist! I would definitely sign with him
One of the few rapper/ceos that cared for his artist
Meek mill and Rick Ross rich forever mixtape were the hardest projects for like 3 years
th-cam.com/video/RmsnkvgNp-A/w-d-xo.html
Is the best if not a classical mixtape in the past 15 years.
The MMG era was one of the best. Shit was so fly. And bein from Philly, seeing what Meek was doin was inspiring. I miss that shit man lol.

Stalley forreal was solid. I didn't think he fit in with MMG but he doing his own thing as career still going strong
Fax
330 stand up
Wale will always spin out a hit when we think he is done. “On chill” destroyed charts on long side of no guidance in 2019. Stop playing
Lmao you right
Grateful we got them and their time on top.
🔥🔥🔥
Self made vol 1 alone puts them up there as a collective
Wale is the Charles Barkley of hip hop
Wake got several number 1 and platinum album he is very succesfuk
@@joenjuicecouplereactionsan4316 barkley won MVP . Went to the finals. Fair comparison
This a compliment and a diss lmao
I think that belongs to Logic Corny ahh. Even though he nice af just got overshadowed by Drake, Kenny,Cole
Wale the LL COOL J of Hip Hop
The gifted was such a remarkable album. Wale really shot himself in the foot
Wale ambition was a classic
I still appreciate MMG for single handily holding down the streets with quality music when labels were trying to white wash the genre and it was nothing but suburban and light conscious rap dominating.
What is suburban rap?
@@n64central frat rap
@@n64central g eazy, Macklemore etc
@@joebk44 ah makes sense. Thanks
lmao single handily
Wale is the most talented. By a mile.

Officer Ricky
What happened?
Wale didn’t tweet Meek album
🤣🤣

I think the transition into the new era of hip-hop, the “internet era” (2016-present), led to the downfall of MMG.
The look and vibe of most of MMG artist are that of a 2000’s style hip-hop group and sound...that didn’t fit in too well with this new era so smoothly. Some members even look older and rougher, which isn’t the trend anymore in hip-hop.
best comment cause thats what happen. the old head comments creeped in smh
how meek mill & ric ross got the same real names in reverse...what a coincidence.
Explain
@@luxurytags both their names are Robert Williams but Meek’s real name is Robert Williams and Rick Ross’ real name is William roberts.
@@luxurytags google the 💩 n.gga wtf
Facts
That’s crazy
Man that self made vol 1 is one of the most underrated albums of the 2010s. Good ole days
That maybach music tag is legendary
MMG came out with 3 incredible compilation albums also 106 & Park was an awesome show to watch during the 2000s
I felt MMG brought Omarion back into the picture he may not did anything major but it brought him back into the spotlight without his move to MMG we probably wouldn’t saw him on LHH and that hit song “post to be”
It's been 10 years bro. Nobidy has a run that long in music. They grew and wanted different things. Not everybody on the team can be an all-star or mvp caliber player. MMG was a major success in my opinion
I was a huge fan of Rockie Fresh and Stalley,; mentioning their names brought back a lot of memories on LiveMixtapes. I never knew about the Papoose signing attempt. I thought Ross was trying to sign Wiz & Curren$y, hence the "Super High (Remix).
Wale is arguably the most unappreciated rap artist of all time.
1. Wale
2. Big K.R.I.T
3. Lupe Fiasco
4. CeeLo Green
5. Fabolous
My opinion
CeeLos a rapper? Not being shady or anything, but I’ve never heard of him being a rapper.
@@milodavis1 yea he is. Listen to the Goodie Mob albums from the 90s
Wale and Big Krit for sure!
Lupe one of the best Emcees of all time
Rick Ross is smart af
Owns 235 acres. Has an estate 🏡
Wale is super underrated who remembers him doing spoken word and battle raps and actually freestyling. The antics really held him back
Wale is underrated, especially where he's from and him being knowledgeable and actually saying something in his songs. Not just something to be mindless too
Super thankful that I got to perform live with Wale in 2017 at The Fillmore in Silver Spring, MD 🙏🏾🎻🔥
Wale found his lane with relationship raps
They were sued by Mercedes for contract breach after they were seen cheating on them by driving Rolls Royces.
Damn I forgot all about Masspike Miles. The MMG era was something special.
I forgot about him also damn
it’s still so random to me that omarion was signed to maybach
I didn't understand that either. He seemed out of place there.
One of the best producer tags 😭
Rockie is one of the most underrated members tbh
Rockie raps better than Meek and wale
Didnt Wale and Meek have tension
Ross is an officer, Meek Is a clown & Wale is the forgotten one
They all Rich
Millionaires too.
So...
We're just going to completely forget about Pill? Although he wasnt signed to MMG, he was seen as the prime protege until Meek bubbled
Why no mention of Pill? He was massively underrated and showed major talent on the Vol. 1 album.
disrespectful as fuck frfr he was literally on the most songs on Self Made 1
@@foolishduke4411 he killed that berse on by any means smh that first mmg album on the lowest of keys might be a classic
Maaaan that nigga Pill went hard!
Supposedly Warner Bros record suggested Pill align with MMG to build up his buzz, sorta like how The Game joined G-Unit. Word is he didn't appreciate his lack of promotion and left after 2011, that's why he's notably absent when MMG dropped Vol 2 in 2012
Man I loved MMG when they first came out. But ya they fell off hard and none of them paid Rick Ross respects for bringing them up
That's the worst part, especially in Meek's case
Meek was poppin before Rick Ross ...honestly he prolly would have been the only one to pop without ross
@@tds6655 You tweakin dawg lol. Ross been killing the game since 06 wym
@@marcusharrison2569 he's saying Meeks career was popping before Ross signed him, it wasn't due to Ross' co-sign that he blew.. not that Meek was big before Ross was big lol but I see your confusion 😂
I remember when this crew was on top of the world back in 2011-2013 and though Wale was gonna be bigger than he was.
That selfmade vol 1 was classic
I miss the days when each label stayed within their region. Like east coast labels staying east west staying west south staying south, everybody sounded different. Now everybody sound the same.
Bible On The Dash by Gunplay a classic!!
Faccts
Bruh those MMG compliations albums were 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Especially the 1st TwoO
👍🏾🤛🏾💯
Great video topics homie! Keep the “what happened to” coming !!
Stalley was the coldest of them all. I hate that he didn't get the respect he deserved. All of his albums bang and he's extremely lyrical and witty. A true Rhymer
Dawg...........that man was pure uncut booty cheeks. 😂
@@TheRealest127 what you said
Stalley and Wale so underrated

Facts
I was hype when Stalley got on MMG
It’s crazy how the only rapper of the early 2010s to make money was Wiz Khalifa, So far Drake, Nicki Minaj, Meek Mill, Wale, Big Sean and others have all claimed they were either unpaid or severely underpaid despite the success of their music.
You be asking them important questions real talk
I think Ross is a luxury rapper..and mmg is a luxury brand.. Most of the artists he signed were either to conscious or too hood.. And he gambled on Omarion
I think if Ross stuck to Meek Mill/ French Montana type artist, MMG would still be working rn 💯
Dope video 🔒 in
Wale’s Summer On Sunset is an album quality mixtape, his albums are all deserving of the greatest projects list. Beyond genre tbh but a win for it nonetheless
Pill was the realist on the MMG.. and extremely talented
I remember watching all their videos and buying magazines when they were on the covers of it.
I don't even see ross round meek any more
Subscribe to my channel!!
You said all that but didn't mention how no one complained about money or how he didn't hold no anyone in there contracts and let them out of it. Instead of being another hand in their pockets
Officer Ricky reporting for duty.😂😒
Poor Pill I forgot about him .
He was tuff
The gifted by Wale was such a great album. Really was starting to see what he was bringing to the table on “rotation”😭😭🔥🔥
That's right Pill , I remember he got dropped.
I saw pill in ATL....I from ATL...ge was riding a bike and asking for money...I swear yall....I was like damn ....life is wierd
@@GEVINCHYGAMEZ he hasn’t had a song since 2011 what you expect the bills keep going
@@GEVINCHYGAMEZ Rick Ross failed him completely; and by extension his own label.
Stalley was a colossal wasted opportunity.
People really slept on Pill he was dope af🔥
I was definitely a MMG fan 2011 - 2016
YOU FORGOT ANUEL AA‼️‼️‼️ THE PUERTO RICAN RAPPER HE HAD EVERY ONE YELLING MAYBACH MUSIC TOO
He was never apart of Ross’s label
@@sambo198921 he did have a deal with them though
Lol wtf you talking about willis
@@downsouthslangin4509 annual who had a previous deal with maybach music had the Spanish community saying maybach music lol half of them don’t even know who Rick Ross is
@@TVLuxuryLife hip hop Is the #1 genre in music..Rick Ross fans don't know who tf a Manuel or Anuel is and most likely would never ever hear his music..they only know daddy yankee lol..
What happened to Stalley he had that amazing song fountain of youth with Nipsey hussle
Wale let meek take his spot that’s what happened and I always knew meek was gone be the bigger star he was too hungry
He didn't let him fo anything.. look at the circumstances and where they come from...meek always had a more aggressive approach to the game while wale was chill...
Meek linked up with Jay- Z! Wale is the better artist.
WOW! I didn't know about the Papoose thing. Wow!
This guys voice is special love the channel
I miss MMG…these guys were so dope as a crew.
I saw this video, it was release d 3 hours ago , and i just saw gunplay and rick release a musicvideo on worldstar 3 hours ago. Whos using the strategies, you or them?
Good job. You forgot about Pill, and Magazeen, but good job on this.
Whenever an artist starts a label, nobody else is gonna eat but that artist who started it.
I wish they would've put more time into Stalley yo. Dude's nice as fuck yo!
The MMG and YMCMB era of the early 2010s was my favorite.
Bruh 2008-2010 they were running everything
@@sorethumbs379 facts they was going crazy those years
"Still ain't nobody's favourite" - Rick Ross yet he is one of the big and greatest Rapper out there 🖤
Not releasing Omarion was a missed opportunity.
I look at gun play the same way I look at currency they both move in their own world they dont play the industry game when they drop music they know their real fans will cop and are content with that
th-cam.com/video/JbrRex-bEnY/w-d-xo.html💜
I remember thinking back in the day Meek was in the same level as Drake, J.Cole, Kendrick & Rocky.. I thought he was going to be a superstar 😂
Musically i think meek actually accomplished more than asap Rocky..he just not big as the the top 3.
You put asap rocky on their level? If you want to keep it a bean, meek has accomplished more than rocky. It’s no way you can say this lol
Rick Ross chose meek as the start pushed wale , Stanley & pill , Triple C ‘s , Gunplay to the side
MMG tried to sign Tory Lanez after LostCause came out.
