Case 282 is now in session. This week on Rap & Order, Taurian B. and First Klass Regg put Big Tymers’ 2000 Cash Money classic contender, I Got That Work, on trial. With Mannie Fresh behind the boards and Birdman and Mannie leading the charge, was this the album that officially made Cash Money Records untouchable? Did records like “Get Your Roll On,” “#1 Stunna,” “Bling Bling,” and “Rocky” help push New Orleans rap into a new national lane? And is Mannie Fresh still one of hip-hop’s most underrated producers?
The prosecution and defense also debate whether the album’s length hurts it, whether Cash Money had officially passed No Limit by this point, and if Birdman belongs in the conversation among Southern hip-hop’s greatest CEOs. Is I Got That Work a rap classic, a regional landmark, or a flashy album with too much filler?
