Bah u either were u too young to remember or not from NYSo you were a stupid kid?
But pap’s mixtape run was something crazy.
i remember feeling the same way in high school.
Then he started killing every feature he was on but then he just fell off.
In my younger days there's no way you could of told me Papoose wasnt gonna be NYC's next rap superstar...

this is a valid take. we have this thread
Papoose fell right into this vacuum and labels like JIVE had to rethink everything. He was a relic by that time. When TND came out man that shyt was sold old and dated. Same thing with Saigon. They were a few years too late, labels had moved on from them because that shyt wasnt moving units. Hence the rise of guys like MIMS.
I was in high school at the time, a few nerds thought he was the truth but most of us thought he was overrated from the jump. A classic mixtape rapper who couldn't make an actual song to save his life
He did not fall off
He still makes dope music
Nah.
Papoose was hard, but he started getting national buzz a little bit too late when the rap game started to transition to the south.
Not saying that you couldn't strike nationally as a ny rapper,(Jim Jones, fabolous, ans Mims for example were huge back then) but lyrical mixtape/freestyle rap shyt was losing steam with the masses by 2006/07.
Plus his album came out way way after anyone gave a f*** about it thanks to label issues.
Now you couldn't tell me juelz wasn't gonna be the next megastar in hiphop when I was in 8th grade.

Timing messed him up. With the underground wave, griselda etc, he'd have a great fanbase and career though.
