How?

They're my favorite group, but, I can't see them any bigger than they are now

Too niched & vanilla, IMO

I just eat off the group solo stuff & Chuck's solo stuff

Mikey's solo stuff :dry:

they tried too hard to come off as different bro

even hipsters were like :snoop:

they had dope beats and concepts but they just couldnt pop like they should have

Real talk, CH tried to take too many lanes at the same time, making beats, rapping, freestyling, the sonic gimmick, and it might be a reach but i think he was tryin to put NY on his back like he was the second coming.

He should have just been a mainstream dude and been who the labels wanted him to be. Like Kanye, cats who arent mainstream knows he aint the dude to be battlin people on the mic, they know him as a studio artist and a producer.

CH was tryin to be both at the same time whereas your either the freestyle rapper that gets a deal or the studio rapper who can go off the top. The off the top guy aint gonna go around battlin folk, they might just drop one on a radio show or a mixtape or something.

Its one thing to be a dude who makes his own beats and song an gets their own name out but once you get hyped and signed its time to put marketing and promo strategies into the hands of the people at the label who do that shyt. Or else just not be too overly concerned with the perceptions. You can be you and just show up for pictures or a club or something but he was going around trying to be everything at once and it never panned out.

Papoose was never nice. he had a small buzz in the tri state area, but son was never talented.

Canibus was the 2nd coming in 98...after that first album, it was downhill.

Mase could have been dope if he ain't get ran out of NY

Hittman .

Seemingly set up perfectly career wise , being all over one the biggest selling albums of its time , 2001.

Potentially the best promotion you could receive.

Only followed up by never having a career.

:snoop:

My ear is not really to the hipsters, but, I've never seen them as anything more than a niche group.

Tacklebox, IMO, is their best work and it's pretty vanilla

Chuck's beats are still :ohmy:

I love those last two instrumental joints he dropped
