What prevented sob x rbe from achieving superstardom?

[Chris Cool]

i was fukkin with them heavy. Yhung TO had potential as a solo artist imo

Always thought daboii was the hardest. TO stood out more cause the singing though. But it's like daboii said in the vlad interview. Nobody cares anymore.

daboii was the best but i felt like with the hooks and singing TO could get on solo. He had that project with Mozzy I thought was dope.

 

[Premeditated]

only one of them (Daboii) was a good rapper

Slimmy B had the swag but lean fukked up his voice

Yung Theo is clearly a mango kiwi juice sipping fakkit with an annoying voice

Light Skin nikka went to jail for killing someone over a dice game....

Peep the track seen this elsewhere.

It's kinda bytch made that he put that vlad interview in the beginning, but left the part out where daboii said he don't fukk with him no more.

Terrible name. Not familiar with their music but they should come back after a rebranding effort

I mean to be honest that name has zero mass appeal in the first place. And I don’t think cali rappers really get propped into the limelight the way they used to these days.

Nipsey? Odd Future created their own lane, TDE, Dom Kennedy, Larry June....

The name sucks, nobody really knows who they are or what their about. And their sound is pretty regional and I feel like once I've heard one song I've heard them all. They really don't have any market penetration over here on the east coast. Shoreline Mafia doesn't really have any either. Shoreline gained a little bit here in the DMV because they toured with Q Da Fool earlier this summer.

shyt as a matter of fact around memorial day my homie had a college friend visiting from Oakland and we were talking hiphop and I tried to bring them up and he barely knew anything about that. But then again I brought up Mozzy to him and he didn't even know him so his opinion didn't really mean much to me.

EDIT: Just listened to like 5 of their songs and every song was the exact same structure. Same flow, same verse concepts. Also why the fukk are they allergic to making hooks? Sure the occasional Hot nikka, No Flockin, 1st Day Out song with no hook will hit but that is not the norm and these nikkas ain't really delivering nice enough bars for that.

So the bay and Detroit/Milwaukee both have this similar sound where every beat sounds the same and they use the same cadence or worst they just talking over a track, to me this is the biggest issue. 42 Dogg imo has the best bet to be bigger bc at least he raps over varied production.

Actually their prior manager was trying to make them wash they ass, keepem clean. They where some lil dusty niccas got tired of the manager trying to clean them up, teachem some discipline. Like kids with money, they get mad, fired him, around the time they was trying to beef with Migos for clout.

Careers started going downhill.

These are words from a guy who is a driver for artists.

what is the best and worst artist you drove?

All the names you named outside of TDE mostly underground including Nip.

Cali rappers are going mainstream but not with that Cali sound, YG was the last cali rapper to blow up with the west coast sound. Biggest cali rapper is Roddy Ricch and he sound like straight out of ATL.

how the hell was Nip underground? He had a grammy nominated album? What Cali sound you talking about? Yay area mob music or G-Funk? It's not 1995 anymore, I agree with Roddy though

 

[Alvin]

Nip had ONE mainstream album. His death magnified his popularity.

I was a fan since X-Tra Laps and none of Nip shyt was bumped here til FDT dropped, and Victory Lap wasn't even that big of an album. 95% of his career was underground.

DJ Mustard's era was the last time the west coast sound was in the mainstream. That was over like 5 years ago.

Guarantee you couldn't find a single radio station in florida playing songs from Victory Lap when it dropped.
