Happy to say that I never let any of my clothes get that baggy at any point in my life. Little ****** shoppin in the big and tall section. Nope!

The biggest shirt size I ever had was a XLT lol

Is it really that hard to market an artist? I guess it gets difficult when they can’t perform the song outside the studio, aren’t personable, gotta resort to gimmicks or weird.

Most of them only have one song. That one song is only hot for about 2 (MAYBE 3) months, and then another artist (and I’m being very generous with the use of that term) steps into that very spotlight to repeat the cycle all over.

I’d imagine it’s harder to market that because of the abundance of a) people making music, b) the many ways music is being consumed these days.

This was dope, Busta a good story teller. Pac, Tribe and Treach stories was funny.

I’m so glad I didn’t have pics from this era because the 2x tall tee def looked like a dress on my short ***

Man… I feel your pain, and was in the same boat. Unfortunately I have a few middle school/early high school pictures where I was walking around like that.

5’3”… 120 pounds…. 3x white tee and size 40 jeans… used to have the jeans “shorts” with timbs when I first moved to down south and nobody could tell me nothing.

Despicable times, horrendous times, nasty times…

Never did the tall tee, **** was dumb.

Nasty ****, I remember my mom buying me some thinking they were regular T’s. ***** told me tuck it in and just pull it out some over my belt so it wasn’t long. Nasty

Since y’all were talking about artist development, 50 had a nice breakdown. “When your music reaches the audience before the label”

Definitely rocked the foot locker tall tee with the size sticker still on and a matching pinwheel fitted for the kicks. It was a terrible time but I can’t front. Used to have the cell phone in the holster like a pistol on my hip too. Wild times.

You started noticing labels didn't know what the **** they were doing when they started signing artist based on one song like Designer.

You used to have to actually bring the label a demo or some sort of body of work. Now they take your one song and try to push that further and if you can't recreate it, you become a tax write off.

NY rappers took the Jersey club sound, especially Ice Spice lol

You heard that one Ice Spice Deli song
