I knew by hearing Santana's Town, Oh Boy and Dipset anthem that this dude had potential and the look of a star. He had that young fly Harlem nikka swagger about himself which gave him a following amongst young nikkas at the time. But when he released the Back Like Cooked Crack is where He started to show more of his own style and personality.
Then he released this
I remember everybody and their cousin had this. This shyt use to get heavy burn in the hoods I use to go too, Santana was even neck and neck with Wayne in terms of popularity. But when he sided with 50 was where I believe he lost alot of his stripes with his fans.
Shortly after Santana put together a crew called Skull Gang and thought he could have the success like Cam did(Jim tried to do the same with Byrd Gang) but that fell flat quick. Then he promised the Regan Era album and the only thing we got was Carbon 45 and that wasn't even the full song. Then Juelz just dissapeared and rarely put anything out. He released Lord Willin trying to piggyback off the current Trap Sound and that went in the bushes quick.
Its a shame that the spitters from that 2002-2004 class(Cassidy, Banks, Santana,) are having to result to putting out a mixtape here and there
