Vado,s a good rapper. He just shot himself in the foot in a major way. From what Cam said in a interview, is that after hearing his music, he teamed up with him to make those BOAB mixtapes. This is when everyone in Dipset went their separate ways music wise. He wanted to build another music brand similar to Dipset. He found Vado, and had Aarabmuzik make the majority of the beats. After the 1st tape, they labels getting at them. Cam sets up a record deal with a label for Vado solo albums, and for their Group BOAB series. Long story short, Cam said that Vados people’s started getting inside of his head, telling him stuff like he wasn’t making enough money, and that Cam was talking behind his back. Camron said all of that wasn’t true, and that he was disappointed in Vado wanting to leave to go over to Khaleds label after he made him hot and getting him his first deal. Cam said after that situation, he’ll never invest in a new artist, he said it took a lot of time and money to invest in Vado, just for him to up and leave once the ball started to get rollin.
He said after Dipset and Vado, he’ll never try to bring a new artist aboard with him. Vados mistake is that he didn’t recognize that he could’ve had a longer successful run with Cam behind him as a group member/manager. Because Vado,s sound is an off shoot of Dipset (EastCoast/Sped up sample sound). If he stays in that pocket with Cam, he becomes a bigger artist than what he panned out to be. Most new artists don’t understand that if you start out with a regional sound, then you have to stay with that while building up your fan base. Why would you jump ship right after Cam gets you poppin? I know these artists are different success wise, but Imagine if Currensy, or Slim thug, Kodak Black makes the wrong decisions before blowing up. The wrong decisions business wise can stop you from being a bigger star than what you are. Lol at the Ace Hood comments. I don’t know y’alls perception on what blowing up means, but Ace Hood did blow up, he was on hit records, so that’s blowing up in my opinion.
He just wasn’t successful long term as a album artist. He was a one trick pony. He could ride a hard beat that was hit, but he didn’t have a story/background/personality to make enough people interested in him enough to buy his albums. Some are all around artist like Hov/Pac/Ross, that can bring you a hit record with good album content. Most new rappers today can’t give you that.
