His downfall was hiding it.
Did I just read a post saying "Riot" by 2 Chainz could have been a political anthem?![]()
Yep. Once I heard Becky and Medicine, I KNEW it was over for em
He can make a song and has a hella ear for beats. His first three albums were![]()
rosses music is respected but he himself is not
not like gucci, or ti, or pimp c, trick daddy, etc., all who embody what they rap
scarface prime example. never hid his intelligence
pimp c was a legend down south, blazed his own trail with bun b, rapped about stuff the everyday brother and sister down south could relate to, and never forgot where he came from nor the people still there. plus he played a gang of instruments and made a lot of old UGK beatsi remember that plies/jamie foxx joint being on 106th & park. i dont know how much they played it cuz i was done with videos by then. but i know they played the hell out of it on the radio.
anywhoot, i rocked with plies 1st 2 or 3 joints but lol. you dudes actually thought plies was a real goon? i knew from jump that he was pump-fakin'. it was blatantly obvious.
as far as his career, he had his time. he fell off because his quality went down. he didnt crossover to middle-america, so atlantic(who didnt get along with him anyway) felt no need to continue forcing him on the public like they did with T.I. for years after he fell off.
its that simple. a rappers run as a marquee act usually spans about 3 albums or 3 to 5 years at best. most of the rappers that linger around longer, 9 times out of 10 are beneficiaries of label & industry politics, or are hanging on via sellout music.
yea, i knew it was over right then and there too.
lol @ pimp c.
since when was pimp c real?

Nah Plies is still around. His new alter ego is named "Kirk Franklin"
not everybody has 2 parents, seriously try asking some young black kids who their heros and role models are.
learn something about propaganda and psychology. you dont even realize people have been planning on programming your every action before you were even born.
