    thugger can't make hits like weezy did.
    he isn't ubiqutious. he's an artist hhh's enjoy. he doesn't dominate top 40 or cross over the zeitgeist
    upscale white girls aren't pretending to like rap by listening to him

    /case

    feel free to respond and cc: that dipshit @Narsh. u guys have fuqt up

    and, to come back to my question, is that because people literally cant go on the same runs as 50 or wayne or em ?

    i see where this is going, so if you think they can't, why would you say thug is going to be bigger than wayne?

    or are you just trying to recover in the best way possible here lmao

    lol if i made my points without involving wayne this thread wouldve gone in a COMPLETELY different direction

    @Mike Tyson and i have talked about this before. i know he agrees with my view on thug's potential as an ARTIST, just doesnt think thatll ever translate into commercial success as much i think (hope/pray) it will

    Nothing will ever ever compare to that movement in my eyes. It might have been short but he had the whole world yelling g-unit. On a global front people forgot just how f---ing massive he was and still is.

    Comparing someone who hasn't even dropped a debut album to prime Wayne that had been amassing a following for a decade is dumb, the conversation is about potential. There are countless Thug songs that could make for Lollipop-tier hits IF the mainstream begins to significantly click with him, and even then probably at least five years down the road. Also I'm not sure how well downtown Boston serves as a gauge for the general hip hop community, not even trying to be snarky.

    ive backtracked and clarified a couple times since the first page that i never meant that thug would sell like wayne, and you pressing me made me question what i meant by thug would because ive never really given this topic much thought aside from this thread lol.

    so no, im not trying to recover im just trying to learn something new u douche

    the best answer i have is that like just as you said "everyone knew wayne without twitter or instagram" i think people will know about thug.
