How come Wayne's artists (drake, nicki) are stars but 50s artists (banks, buck, yayo) are nobodies?

Any theories why drake has 3 platinum albums and countless hit singles, nicki has 2 platinum albums and countless hit singles...

Yet banks only has 1 certified album and only ever had 2 hit singles
Buck only has 1 certified album and only had 1 hit single
Yayo has an uncertified gold album and never had a top 40 song ever

Why is this?

Because Drake and Nicki are marketed to teenagers it's easy to manipulate and ''program'' teenagers
You can't program adults in music they can see pass bullsh1t......

Banks and Yayo did way more than decent considering they're "homeboy rappers"...yayo wouldn't even be rapping or in the industry at all and banks would prolly have a career trajectory that resembles fred the goddson or red cafe (at best) had they not known 50 personally coming up...most homeboy rappers don't get release dates let alone gold and platinum plaques...think the difference between PSC and Bobby Ray or Iggy, Gudda and Drake/Tyga/Nicki, Torch and Meek/Wale...thing is once 50 fell off, their careers were over...hard to be a homeboy rapper when the star act sustaining them put out dozens of flopped singles in attempt to get a release date, and when he finally did it did Ace Hood numbers...now his non-homeboy artists he either deliberately buried and ruined their career (buck), fell out with (Game), or did a terrible job of talent evaluation if he thought they had any kind of star power (kidd kidd, paris, hot rod)

Banks is one of my favorite rappers, but Drake is a better songwriter than he is. He's better at the total package.
