Homie won a oscar... built his brand. .. started rubbing elbows with A listers. .. greatly increased his earning and earning potential. ...


and he came from wearing a damn reaper hood on album cover photos taken in Memphis slums.






Artistically I don't think his reinvention was that radical tho.

Lucratively and brand wise. .. yeah his reinvention was pretty radical

Don't forget, Juicy J invented rappers having their own TV shows

Gotta be Queen Latifah went from rapping to having her own acts to acting to talk shows to covergirl to whatever else.

Jay is a contender, Un Rivera to Obama.

 

[Shadow King]

Latifah, Cube, and Ice T in no particular order

Future went from making sappy love ballads (Neva End) to Monster in a relatively short period of time.

He reinvented himself musically VERY lucratively.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Drake. His transformation from wheelchair Jimmy to 6 God is crazy

True, But from Comeback Season to Now much hasn't changed about Drake

Cube and Latifah just became actors

Pitbull went from some straight Hiphop shyt rapping with Khaled to wearing Tuxes and being an international pop star

Imagine if Ace Hood was on ABC NYE special with on some straight pop ish

That's basically what Flo-Rida became if we're being honest......
