First off I'm not a Troy Ave fan. He boring to me.

But his "run" is far form over. What are you judging this by? Dude just did a joint with Diddy, Mase and TI.... he will be getting more for shows now than he ever has - and let's not forget that is how artists eat.

Nicca can never sell a record and he'll be straight off that road money....
what markets do you really think troy can do tours in. he can only hit NY, NJ, and CT so samy times. to get that real money you gotta tour the country, nikkas really gonna pay to see him in Texas? Georgia? cali? :mjlol:

He's had the same amount of albums as Lil Kim and one more album than Foxy Brown. And he had higher peaks than them too. It's not debatable. It's a fact he's been way more successful.

And groups don't count because that's a completely different animal. Same reason nobody asks who's better Nas or Wu Tang? It's just weird to incorporate a group into it. There's different factors that go into groups over solo artist. One person in the group might be the real star, one might have done more work to get the group hits, etc. It's too hazy when it comes to groups who's the clear reason why they're successful.

word?
when fab sell more than kim?kim was going plat and was low key a house hold name in the early 00s doing records with tommy lee, winning grammys n shyt

Well Kim is more popular, clearly. She's basically a household name. More successful, it is actually closer when I think about it. Fab has had more hits do to more longevity. Kim's peak might be higher. I'll give you and Wacky D that.

Fact still remains, if you want him top 5 or top 10, either way, he's one of the most successful rappers ever out of NY. That's not debatable.

Troy Ave never had a buzz in my city

nikkas don't even want to hear from the real 50 so we definitely ain't trying to hear nothing from a imitation 50
ave has a buzz with the media, mainly because most of those media outlets are based here in NYC. he don't even have an authentic Buzz here. i don't her his shyt ringin off in La Marina, PHD lounge or Phucket

Yo, no lie, I was looking for a new place, so I decided to look at places in Union City.... Tell me why when we pull up to the building and about to be let in by the super, these 3 members of a mariachi band come out side looking like the 3 Amigos..... lmao...

I love Union City though

You right... I just think for a talentless clone nicca that doing tours in the tri state and getting a few stacks a time is a good grind.

He was never ever gonna be a nationwide artist.... but guarantee his show booking price in the tri state is now bigger than it ever has been.

I'll reiterate.. I don't think Troy is good, but he's making moves. Who else getting Mase, Diddy and Tip on a joint without an album out who ain't signed to em??

This new wave out here got Troy Ave looking :flabbynsick:

nikka rapped for 8 years just to get some kinda buzz, big enough to get Diddy and Mase and T.I. on a track, and some little nikka swooped in and stole all his buzz from being at the right place at the right time. :heh:

I can't recall someone getting the spotlight taken from them that fast
:huhldup:
