    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

    the way he was getting hyped up like a serious artist legit irritated me

    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.

    Album about nothing is a classic though

    this is so revisionist

    is it? i think there's a difference between people being like "wow this guy is famous already and made a couple pretty good songs" and "this guy is going to have a long and successful rap career and an actual fanbase"

    I’m in the minority and think him signing to MMG was great for him at the time or atleast the best move for exposure

    Him being the outlier of the label gave him purpose and relevancy on there. One thing about Dreamville, although it’s filled with talent, is that they all are apart of the same lane thus no one really stands out within the label. With Ari gone they definitely are lacking versatility.

    And as far music goes, yeah his image changed and do wonder where he would be if he hadn’t signed to MMG. But my hunch is he would’ve been forgotten in the blog era

    I agree that he wouldve been a relic of that era for sure sort of like Charles Hamilton to an extent. But he had ALOT of range compared to the rest of that Class. This is why he was on the front page of the Freshmen Cover and they even had Wale, Drake and Cudi marketed as the next big things before Kendrick and Cole came.
