    The reason he hasn't crossed over to the mainstream and sold a lot of records or made a hit single that successfully charted on the hot 100 billboard is because he doesn't appeal to white people

    His fan base is predominantly black while it is predominantly white people who buy most records

    I personally think he makes autotune work well for him but the attitude of white people, white girls who mainly buy records is 'singing hooks using autotune isn't the same as singing normally without the help of autotune it takes talent to sing without using autotune, anyone can sing using it that is not talent'

    u actually need a good base voice for autotune to sound good despite popular belief from whoever your source is autotune doesn't work for everyone

    rt i can speak from experience

    also if u sing clean tones its barely noticeable at all, to get a good result intentionally you need amazing voice control

    also lol @ ppl itt thinking thugger isnt successful

    hes slowly building up a loyal fanbase thatll last him for a long time, if you compare it to RHQ who came up w him and only ever cared about getting hits, its the right way to go

    the only thing im scared of for thug is that he either becomes too formulaic, since a lot of his tracks seem more like routines at this point

    also the fact that most of the songwriting and concept work isnt in his hands at all. s/o whatever producers decide to work with thug and spend hours on hours trying to edit his 10-20 min freestyles into something cohesive

    I think a 7.8 is completely fair. You're saying it's like near flawless and it's just not

    His fan base is predominantly blacks i'm not saying he doesn't have any white fans that would be silly but predominantly his fan base is blacks

    To sell records successfully u need a big white fan base because white people buy most successful selling hip hop albums

    Then why is he not selling a high amount of records or making singles that sell successfully sell and chart in the top 10 on the hot 100 billboard?

    As it has been re searched within the industry that majority of successful rap album sales come from middle class white teenagers
