Why Has Ace Hood Never Blown Up?

[GoldynChild]

When Ace Hood first came up I thought that by 2017, he would be a bigger star than he is today. He hasn't really blown up.

I was thinking about it, I feel like it's for a few reasons:

- he doesn't really have an image - he's not a marketable artist

- he doesn't really have a large, loyal fan base - he's more of a "hit record" rapper, at least in the past

- he doesn't really have much to say - always rapping about coming from nothing, the hood, his piece, etc.

Where do you think he went wrong?

HAHAH do you really believe that this was such an L that it ended his career? And wtf was going on there, is it a fake watch or something?

 

[SoulController]

dont think he went wrong anywhere, he had some hits and impact on the game (flow got bit for a minute there)

when your in his situation, you do need a hit every so often tho. he has no classics to revert to, so hes now at the point where hes gonna start to fade without a new one

I've said this before...Ace really fathered a great bit of these nikkas styles. Ace hood is one of the best rappers that get no recognition. He can rap his ass off and even with me knowing this, I still can't listen to him

But if you think he's one of the best rappers why cant you listen to him?

He did blow tho. He had some pretty big singles. He just fizzled out & cant seem to get back

Manufactured, packaged, had it easy. He had Rick Ross, and T-Pain on his debut single. It just doesn't feel real. People think its good to have prominent artists featured on your debut song, but it actually hurts you. The audience doesn't know who you are so they listen to the song for Ross, and T-Pain, not Ace Hood. He became an afterthought ever since.

Theres a difference between having bars/flow and making good music. Papoose is one of the best rappers ever, technically, but the music is ass. Same for Corey guns. And I'm not saying Ace is anything like them, but they're similar in terms of not being able to make good music.

This. And the fact that Meek took his lane and ran with it

lol you answered your own question. This thread will be full of people rephrasing the things you already said here. The only puzzling thing is you thinking he would be an even bigger star. He did pretty well for himself.

I heard this by Ace Hood recently, fire

over the Future "Married to the Game" instrumental

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

Probably because he's not lightskin, not an attention whore, and no controversy

Yeah but wasnt his last single Bugatti? That was in 2013, 4 years ago. That's why his name really isnt poppin these days.
