-Three 6 Mafia starts falling off
-Juicy J ditches DJ Paul and starts surrounding himself with younger relevant dudes like Wiz, Taylor Gang
-Reinvents himself as a party rapper who's always high, poppin pills, smokin weed, and f**ks ratchet hoes
-Drops a few mixtapes in the meantime, using Wiz's popularity to assist him
-Gets in close ties with Mike Will, who is the hottest new producer at the time
-Drops a few strip club anthems, gets his name in the mainstream charts, and builds a huge buzz for himself
-Starts crossing over and doing features alongside pop artists like Kesha, Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, and Katy Perry
-At this current moment, he is featured on the #1 billboard song in the country: 'Dark Horse' by Katy Perry

He's a smarter guy than he let's off. All about his business.:leostare:

I remember 5 years ago (2009), dude was making videos on his youtube channel, working out of his poverty home studio, and chugging bottles of whiskey in front of his laptop. Videos were only getting like 200 hits and no one was checking for him. It was around "Hustle till I die" time... now look at him.

what was funny was that tape was 100% crack, and it got slept on. Play Me Some Pimpin series got slept on, so did the Three Six tape with French

it wasnt until Rubber Band Business that he really picked up steam, then Blue Dream really got his buzz crazy

Stay Trippy was dope, and it was a hard album when everyone expected it to be all stripper anthems or crossover shyt

Juicy J has the most impressive comeback and I fukk with that Dark Horses song. The beat is crazy








But Juicy J is contributing to help selling out hip hop even more the moment he did a song with Miley, if mainstream rap starts involving more pop artists more often hes partially to blame :manny:

His hustle and knack for knowing what the average rap consumer wants to hear is probably second to none. A 40 year old rap artist who's current, primary fanbase is 16-20 year old high school/college students. This man has amassed a large fanbase from 3 different generations. One of the GOATS! :salute:
