Not a Jet Life project but this album became a personal classic to me

I definitely agree with what you saying though. LE$ did seem like more of his own artist and having his own brand or at least developing it pre JLR

Especially more so than Roddy and Trademark and really didn't need Spitta as much. LE$ was one of the few dudes that put out just as much music as Curren$y did and he was under his brand

Although Roddy eventually did develop his own brand and become his own man too and he too eventually left. I really felt Spitta dropped the ball with Roddy something serious. He should've been pushing him hard especially when he dropped the first Good Sense tape. It got to a point where he was outshining Spitta, prime example was the Bales mixtape. Roddy was killing that bytch from start to finish.

Jet Life from 2011 to 2016 was such a great run, so much dope ass shyt came from that camp during those years

I could see how Gibbs felt a type of way about Spitta not pushing or promoting their project, cause it never seemed like he really went all out with pushing his own artist's projects
Yea man I think that's Spitta's....weakness I'll say. He's so tunnelvisioned on his own shyt he can't curate other artist on his label which was the complaint and reason why Trade and Roddy left (they allude to it on Family Business album). Mousa was focused on everything going through Curren$y that other projects and acts get left by the wayside. He definitely dropped the ball with Roddy though. He had a diamond in the rough and just let him go. At one time Roddy and Le$ was dropping way better shyt than Curren$y and with better visuals. At a certain time Curren$y was just dropping tapes with mostly adlibs high in the booth not saying shyt. Trade and Roddy sharpened him and kept him on his toes when they left he got lazy and wasn't as sharp for a while. He bounced back but I definitely remember for a period of time they were kicking his ass (Le$ Technoviolet, Summer Madness, Midnight Club, Catalina Wine Mixer, Texas Rattlesnake, Young Roddy-Good Sense1-3, Kenner Looper, Route The Ruler, Hood Gospel)
