classic. Juelz isn't capable of this type of record now.

took himself out of the game so has career ups and downs, legal troubles, family/relationship troubles, his Dipset brothers can't get along and he's caught in the middle..yet he probably couldn't craft a good record out of any of the turmoil he's been through because he wants it to look like everything been gravy. he been spitting the same variation of a verse anytime he's decided to rap in the last 8 going on 10 years.

the more money they got, the depth Dipset had in their music disappeared. the hunger vanished.

Juelz was extremely likeable had star quality that brought energy and a swag to records about a young street hustler but he would make sure to give you the ups and downs of the life, wasn't afraid to get personal, touching on domestic violence and such.

Jimmy was the rambling poet, the beating heart of the group and the voice of the people compared to the flamboyancy of Cam and the young star in the making Juelz. he sounded like he was doing it for the people and was riding for the Set until the end and it reflected in his music. on a few scene stealing verses he put his all into it and you felt every word but as the flow got tighter and the money got better he changed. its easy to forget how liked Jimmy was until the Cam/50 and then the Max B situations.

re-read this post after getting a few daps on it.
I can tell i must have wrote this while writing copy for my job at that time.

:russ:

every word regarding Juelz still rings true.
teeth trouble which escalated his drug problem, caught a case over it, now is in jail and still acted like was all gravy.

:stopitslime:

Jimmy back in everyones good graces since i wrote that though.
