I honestly was expecting much....

But at some point we gotta address the fact that 90% of rappers "comebacks" after doing a bid are a let down and pretty anti-climatic

It became a thing after Pac got out and dropped All Eyes on Me

But if you look at the history.... Most of those shyts are letdowns... Wayne, Boosie, Gucci are a few recent examples that come to mind

Yeah the only ones to really capitalize on prison comebacks have been 2Pac, Mac Dre & Gucci after the first few bids. Everybody else had a spark and then was forgotten. The problem most of the new rappers have had is they didn't put out music as soon as they were released and by the time we heard them it was sub-par. You're only in the news cycle for so long so you have to strike while it's hot. Remy made the same mistake after Shether not releasing a single right after while she had the buzz. Now if she drops one it'll be crickets.

This is one of the dopest radio freestyles I've ever heard the way she rode the beat and spit flames. Shame Remy can't make songs.

actually she's surpassed my expectations:ehh:

I thought she would've been an afterthought, but a Grammy nominated single is not bad

Plus its not like she was a big megastar before she went to jail

exactly, shes prolly bigger now than when she first went in in terms of her celeb status

musically she was prolly more organically popping back then since she experienced some success without the platform of love & hip hop/social media/beefing with a megastar

How was Gucci a letdown?

Are the niccas who was protesting against what I was saying in the OP still sharing the same sentiments now ? Ya heard her recent joint with Chris Brown , flow was despeciable and she was spewing outdated Mid 00's smack dvd bars on a song that was suppose to be about Melanin Magic .... SMH it's finito for shorty

What about Max B?

I feel like he had enough of a buzz prior to going to jail that if he actually does get out soon he could revive his career.

Max B may be relegated to a relic of his time :francis:. French can get him a few features and some shine for a bit though :ehh:. shyt he could have a regional hit if his melody/hook game is still in tact :ld:


Mfers nowadays only using him as a meme now with that "you a loopy dude" shyt :mjcry:. They don't know he was bringing maximum fukkery to the game :damn::damn::damn:

Nah I can't agree with this. Remy has exceeded my expectations on where her career would be after prison.

She been looking fine as fukk though. :takedat:

Her verse on Money Showers was nice too. Aint heard no tape from her. Outside of purely music though, she doing all you can fresh off a bid.
