There's little to no actual evidence to prove this (in reality...all rappers of any and all varieties only have a short run regardless of content)...certainly not the examples you cited...Lupe's ENTIRE initial draw and image was built around him being intelligent and introspective, the fans that he has were won behind that...he alienated them putting out an Alex Da Kid pop record, not by doing what makes them fans in the first place...Wale was initially ignored and ended up flopping and getting dropped during his first run as the sneakerhead hypebeast rapper with the Lady Gaga pop single, he GAINED his whole college aged female fanbase off the strength of his mixtape work after that...they like BECAUSE they think he's "deep", and by into the whole spoken word poetry thing...Tip's had a career that's spawned the course of an entire decade and was introspective throughout the entirety of it...
Basically the whole premise of the thread is stupid...the reason why Boosie is loved as much as he is BECAUSE of his more thoughtful material...there ain't any shortage of random ratchet acts that could have easily taken boosies spot had his entire appeal been "dumb nikkas in the hood just like ignorant stupid niqqer jiggaboo music...you give them anything else and they'll throw you in the bushes" or whatever stupid ass narrative @
Blackthoughts keeps ignoring the constant examples of the real reason boosie is loved so much to keep pushing
