He didn't sound like Young Chris for whole albums. And Busta was doing that before Young Chris.
Wayne did a lot more than change flows, he changed his whole style. He started doing strictly metaphors rapping like Cassidy.
People just have a hard time accepting that rappers have writers/co-writters/references...
It’s no difference than R&B. Why the double standard when it comes to this?
But let’s be real, why haven’t Wayne had a hot track since Carter 2?
500 degreez was such a big flop! I remember having that album and gave it away.Lights off, TBIH, Squad series were great for those Times.
Because rap is supposed to be centered around lyrics, because at it's core it's supposed to be poetry. Singing and other forms are based around the musical arrangement. That's what has always separated rap. So it's supposed to be your creativity and ideas.
in retrospect, 9-11-07 was the last day of street hip hop dominating, after that, the emo/nerd era was ushered in
why did Curtis (album) have to be mediocre
What's that date? Date 50's career was officially dead and the day he became a caricature?

Didn't know Breed from Flint.
Short Dog went to school in Engard, Louisiana for some time (Some of his family is there). My aunt and him were classmates and are still friends to this day.
Just like Juvenile...Family from 'Cornland' (Reserve, Louisana), used to go to school there for awhile. Childhood nickname is "Two Nuc".
But I get it, it's about what city had the most impact on you.

Read a rumor about Drake hiding a second seed. Alleged BM got the NDA treatment too. No more IG posts after being on it a lot, was a stripper or something too.

Yessir, I remember that time vividly.
50 went from dropping 2 duds (Amusement Park/Straight To the Bank), to claiming he’ll retire if Kanye outsells him
Kanye comes with Can’t Tell Me Nothing/Stronger and kills the game, 50 found gold with I Get Money which wasn’t even part of the album, it was some last minute gem...caught fire with that, then all that press run between them two, 9/11/07 comes, Kanye outsells 50 by like 300,000 copies
50 resorted to the pop record “Ayo Technology”, the same ish he was killing Ja Rule for

Pierre said they updating the credits don’t trip lol
That’s one thing about Kanye and them tho, they’ve straight up ripped off _’s samples without paying on multiple occasions but you can tell they’ve always respected the artistry of the young _’s cause he really could’ve just got the Jugg 808 and had the sound like everybody else on SoundCloud and YouTube
Mike Dean more than capable of recreating that Pierre sound, he had to remake the whole Panda beat from scratch by ear because the dumb *** producer lost the stems smh lol
It’s the same way they used Lex on WTT tho, _’s already had the “Lex sound” by then but they still brought him in and let him do his own **** with the drums and synths

Just disgusting. My G-Unit stanning was rapidly going down in flames heading into that album
His press run for that was insane. BET practically had days blocked off for him premiering Amusement Park and Straight To The Bank. Brick after brick until he accidentally struck gold with I Get Money. You could tell 50 wasn’t indestructible 50 anymore. Kanye outselling him combined with Birdman’s son’s continued ascent ended 50. He was finished by the time BISD came out. Baby By Me

Ayo Technology 
That has to be one of the most awful single I've ever heard from a major artist. Still to this day wonder who listened to that and thought it was good, much less be a single.
I wouldn't be shocked with the way he messes with strippers.
I just went back and watched that Johnni Blaze Vlad interview where she was saying Drake went up in her raw. Everyone thought she was crazy and after attention.

I never even heard that Cam/Vado song
I liked some Vado stuff but idk, him and dudes like Maino, Writer etc just didn’t have “It” for that next level
East is like a new improved version of him to me, they got a very similar presence on the track and demeanor. It’s looking like he could fall into that same “in between” level but I think he has a lot bigger female base
Edit: the songs East and Vado have been dropping lately are good tho they gotta drop that project soon

Turning into lipstick alley over here.
Never liked the Cam/Vado era, and Cam is one of my favorites. East and Vado are the same to me, guys who make very average songs without any distinct factor. I think NY was just thirsty for any type of street artist. There were a couple of lesser known guys making waves like Manolo Rose but I haven't heard anything great come out of here in a while.I never even heard that Cam/Vado song

But the last one I heard was FLAMES

Butbhad that old dipset feel
And the chorus was a sped up sample
That said
“U don’t know my name”
Song was FIRE
