You’re never out of it these days tho. You just can’t force it. Probably should try and go on a mixtape run...and drop a lot of tapes and content...instead of running with the traditional rollout and album ****. That was stale from the jump.
Dave East in dat Lloyd Banks lane. At least Banks had a classic album though and Banks had bars. East can’t really rap. He just has a dope voice for an mc.
Could’ve been in the meek lane....but he got stale and stopped making bangers. Type of time was a street/club banger. But The timing of it was off tho. Probably a lil bit too early before he had recognition, and was going to drop.

I blame Def Jam, and comfortability. Everybody ain’t meant to be a star tho.

Fab didn't luck up. That's him. Joe didn't want to do Fire, Focus or Pump It Up. He was miserable

dude is terrible and not memorable.
NO ONE is excited for dave east’s next project. dude is generic as rappers come.
???You need to expand your vocabulary
pump it up blew up everywhere.
Joe Budden didn't blow up album wise because he didn't put in enough work in da mixtapes so people didn't know who he was, that's why i think his 1st album flopped 1st week.
back then if marketing wasn't up to par then it was sink or swim album wise regardless of how good da single did
Fabolous had 3 years of building up via Monday Night Mixtape on Hot 97 w/ clue as well as constant Mixtape presence.
if Joe Budden had that amount of build up he would've popped.
His biggest hit was also on a soundtrack and out for months, that kinda hurt his album sales.
people used to do that all da time to use as a Segway between albums prior to mixtapes (Jay-Z abused this lol)
I don't think think it hurt sales, but u definitely needed something to pop for da album..
Fresh off the press.
How we feel about this? I like it.
I don’t think any rapper that does Cocaine regularly is going to be able to elevate their career.
I don't think he cares enough. Could be wrong.
but probably feels he’s past the Griselda type **** as a major Def Jam act + he can’t look like he copying them
