He was on track to be as hot as Nelly was in the early 2000s, but he just vanished, and its no way now he gets as popular as he was when black and yellow dropped

Once he started dressin lika fakkit and making those songs with those trash ass beats, thats a death rattle for most artists. Usually when artists start becoming weirdos the beats gotta be on another level to attract cacs because thats who appreciates that trash. At the end of the day to be superstar in hiphop you have to be somewhere rooted in the street. At least image wise.

Yeah
He killed his gimmick too fast.

He went from "fukk bytches get money" to "wife bytches get money" in under like one album.

Its like if 50 went from all of those street mixtapes to his debut but instead of "get rich or die tryin" dropping "before I self destruct"

It just completely goes ahaints the image he created for himself.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
I'm not one to have qualms about subject matter cuz i listen to the most ignorant of ignorant shiit.


but literally, the subject matter on Cab Fev 2:


Smoking, tats, opulence/his stacks, haters (aka, probably people who photoshop his sophmore cd cover on the webernets).

Then wash, rinse, repeat.


It's like listening to a broken record but with different beats.


I know he was always on that steeze, but atleast he used to rap about his city, growing pains, sometimes social commentaries, working/grinding/perseverance... now it's redundant/trite to the umph degree.
