he got the "he's corny" label attached to him and never escaped it, the whole "diss popular act over outdated sounding beat with eminems old flow" shyt got old quick, never evolved creatively like say a tyler the creator who was in a similar lane, not to mention he was always crying about some shyt in his music
he probably stifled his own growth, his labels growth, and his artists growth by beefing with his partner and breaking everything up at their peak
even if he never popped as a bigger star I think he couldve ate off of dizzy wright had the dame beef not happened, dizzy couldve and shouldve been a bigger deal especially with the type of music he made in contrast to hopsin and the connections he had with dudes like logic and joey badass but knowing hopsin he was probably lowkey insecure about bro having his own little wave and potentially surpassing him one day
