True, I be forgetting bout his bouts w/ jail and how it held him back at times.
His 1st Jail stint actually helped his career cause he had caught hiphops ear with Trap Muzik and everyone wanted more. So the buildup and hype when he got of jail was the reason Urban Legend was so big(plus all the songs released from that album was hard af)

But the 2nd Jail stint stop his momentum when he was headed towards superstar status. He was learning how to make big records with Live your Life, Whatever you like and Dead & Gone but he couldn't tour the songs because he was in jail and then he drop that wack album No Mery and lost his chance.

Damn, yup. You right. That 2nd 1 definitely slowed down things.

His debut wasn't "Reasonable Doubt" status

None of his album equal a Reasonable doubt

Grand Hustle Ain't no Rocefella

He can't part ways with Grand Hustle CEO Jason Peter like Jay did with Dame

And he doesn't have the Catalog

Nor does he have the Business acumen

And TINY AINT NO BEYONCE :lolbron:

To be fair, RD won't the Reasonable Doubt (when it 1st came out) it's been made out to be for over the last decade and some change.

But I know what you mean, you talking just in terms of how good it is. I agree.

Never of them had groundbreaking debut albums.

And he definitely ain't got the business acumen and Tiny damn sure ain't no Beyonce'.
