    might make another post/update this one as i go through the thread, but this is what i pulled from the first page:

    he's in a tough position. they tried to make gucci cross over; his false starts/legal/personal problems don't hurt him with his core fanbase because he was so established before the radio attempts started. thug has less of a foundation.

    on the other hand, thug's shown absolutely tremendous success/instincts (lifestyle, good times). i would also argue that the way he's become a lightning rod for criticism/debate helps keep him in relevant on a level that some rappers with better sales (logic, for example) will never hit. so he'll keep having opportunities.
    this sounds exactly right.
    this is clinically insane

    :laff:

    "No way anyone can say they can just put on 808s like other kanye albums"

    "Its universally agreed upon that 808s is one of his least accessible projects"

    *gets proved wrong*

    "Lol i was kinda just joking about that"

    :laff: f--- outta here narsh

    There will never be another Lil Wayne. But there will never be another Young Thug either. I do hope he does grow a stronger following in the near future, rap always could use someone like him pushing the genre forward.

    I don't think it's valid to dismiss how different hype is in today's society compared to what I remember during my middle school-high school days when kids would actively discuss rap releases at like lunch tables and s---. Sales and promotion are extremely different, and there are so much more avenues in listening to music now. Wayne was a machine, everything he touched turned into platinum and had a huge full-circle appeal from fans and critics. Being in NY at the peak of G-Unit's hype was unbelievable, to me no rapper will ever be as renown as Fifty was in that time period.

    Drake is the lite version of 06-09 Wayne. If drake raps on your song it's a hit. But Wayne had like 15 songs in radio rotation for four years straight. f---ing "Let it Rock" by Kevin Rudolph. All those songs with Jay Sean. Wayne gave no names a ton of platinum records

    Come to think of it, we're just talking about fame, popularity...Thug will be lucky if he even comes near Drake's level, let alone Mixtape Weezy.
