Peter Gunz for years was just one of the nikkas who made "Uptown Baby", definitely didn't expect anything else to happen with him... and then, this thing called reality TV happened... and he created a second run as a serial cheater who then parlayed that into becoming the host of "Cheaters" :lolbron:

So we got Cam'ron and Mase back together with the hottest sports talk show around :wow:

Twista going gun training and competitive rifle competitions :whoa:

Jadakiss with a successful coffee brand

Nore with a consistently (reasonably) popular talk show (he was a wild mf)

Styles p in vegan food and whole food industry

E-40 with successful wine, tequila, and spirits (honestly not a surprise at all lmao)

Who has had the most surprising act 3 since we've known of them?
Ma$e putting in effort is most surprising

2003 was Gamecube, Game Boy Advance, and some PS2. Music wise, I was playing God's Son and Fab's 2nd album.

But another person who changed drastically has got to be Raekwon. He is now married and chilling.

God's Son is one of my favorite Nas albums !!!

I still remember my Dad playing it on a Sunday Afternoon during that Spring of 2003 in his Red Chevy Cavalier playing that, Talib Kweli's Quality, GZA's Legend Of The Liquid Sword, and Killer Mike's Monster.

Killah Priest is a another one. He has a podcast talking the stuff he says on his albums.

To keep it 100% brehs, this thread is making shed a lil' tear or something:wow:

I'm so proud of all these brothers, man.

Hip-Hop gets blamed for so much bullshyt, but this shyt really enabled these (mostly) Black man to live lives so far away from what they came from.

Like, who the fukk would have Andre making a flute album, Snoop making TV with Martha Stewart, & Shyne being a damn politician.

Won't he do it now?:blessed:

How no one mentioned Common is beyond me. Common wasn’t that popular in the 90s. In Chicago, you could make an argument that during the 90s, as far as Chicago rappers, he was behind Crucial Conflict, Twista and Do or Die in popularity. Now he’s in the Hollywood circles and has had many public relationships.
