expected this years ago my nikka can't catch a break music wise and I know it probably hurts
nikka literally tried every lane to ressurect his career to no avail. unsuccessful beefs wit nas, jayz and 50 cent to all sorts of non ventures to wearin a cape of fur and having THREE Dipset reunions (the 2nd concert was actually under nas at rock the bells)
cam never gave me the feeling that he a hiphop fan first which affected his music imo
I liked that just blaze dips record but fck it
cookies and applejuice should've told y'all nikkaz
he has rapped on some beats that technically very few rappers could pull off...He has always pushed himself which was evident in the Purple Haze era..That nikka was on another level
The battles on wax against nas, jay, and 50 proved to me he was hip hop...
Them nikkas playing politics instead of properly battling on wax and taking their L's made me question their hip hop passes...
He has appeared on ciphers with cats who were considered elite during their times...From the Fantastic 4 to the joint with KRS-1..
I think the music politics took his energy away..Especially the Jay situation...How would you feel if you worked hard to get to the top to see a nikka keep you down because he feels threatened by you??
And there's nothing you could do...
Then 50 splitting up the dips, to tru life, and then crime pays....
