He was good for a verse or song here and there but he was never an elite rapper. His debut cemented that. His content and lyrics were straight
after a while.
Right cuz "alot" of rappers had deep & good content at the time
Rap fans are funny like that. Im not aiming this at you so dont take it personal. But they pick & choose. That is why the biggest reason the
machine matters to the rap audience especially. Drag just aint had the Universal machine like Hot Boys, Eve & X (eventually) had,
or Priority/EMI like No Limit had, Violators/Def Jam (thru Polygram/Universal) that NORE had & the list goes on. Ruff Ryders had their deal thru Interscope
but he was the first "straight Ruff Ryders" artist to put out an album on the newly built label. Lox did too but they obviously had been around for mad years & just signed back to Ruff Ryders (as a label, not management), even prior to Bad Boy.
Drag was probably mostly a spitter who didnt get developed enough. If you look at Ruff Ryders history that was their m.o. To take in artists from the street who did, and/or put them through, alot of battles & ciphers through the streets. He was also like 19-20 when his first album hit.
bruh not even vh1 wants to touch that
