What are some good examples? I just thought of Ice Spice and GELO. Both signed with the label and all the magic was gone.

she steadily got better and then stopped trying, what you chatting about lmao. ion think that’s on her label, she got limited bars and isn’t pop smoke

idk man i liked bikini bottom and then its been mid since

Desiigner

gelo really did not have sauce to lose

all 3 songs so far are on the same level but his career is not meant to last

no clarity is poopin all over these

Lone

princess Diana? Barbie world? boys a liar? gangsta boo?

Not in the sense of losing rapping ability but whenever I think of an artist decline after signing to major I always think of Big Krit and Chamillionaire

so why would you f*** with my mental

after all that i told you I been through

Def Jam gon burn in hell for what they did to KRIT.

Agreeee amazing song

GELO was never on people just meme’d it because it was the Ball family

gimmicks last 6 months tops

Plight2 really lost all the sauce after he signed with the CCCP

i wish

this is so revisionist

Many such cases unfortunately

This absolutely was not what happened

pre opium lone was prime yeat level

I was gonna disagree but then I remembered his old s*** and yeah. It was looking like he was gonna be the next great

I cant think of any modern examples.

But Wale to me was the sauciest nigga in the blog rap era before he for some reason decided to sign to Maybach Music (?)

Dude was on some retro, lyrical, go-go, Euro rap s*** before he made that move. Probably got more commercial success than he would have had he stayed a hipster but I think he shoudlve rolled with it

Im pretty sure that first album with the Lady Gaga track deterred him from continuing that path.

Nah fr Lone was really that nigga back then. I just forgot. It seems like most of it has been purged from YouTube

The Weeknd
