not at all he only did like 30k before he died

if the worst songs off that weird posthumous albums made it big in australia then pop smoke alive was about to blow proper

It’s so sad he was bringing change to modern sound by incorporating old school elements

delusional

He got popular as quickly as he did (without memes) because he had that IT factor. He was hip hop as f***. You’re crazy if you think he’d be rich the kid level. That’s disrespectful

I’d be surprised if Bobby Shmurda doesn’t capitalize on that lane he was one of the NY drill OGs

literally nothing points to him being anywhere near drake level. yall just sayin this cause he dead lol

not bad on a mixtape when you've just bought a whole new sound on your back

well i don't think drake i thought more kevin gates which is a better accomplishment than drake

okay but that doesn't mean he wouldve been huge lol. nothing hes done pre death points to that.

how is kevin gates level much different from rich the kid lol.

That’s an easy assumption to make, but I explained why in OP. X and juice were huge because of their impact on the kids. Pop Smoke was a modern rapper for HIP HOP fans

yea and it's delusional pop smoke wouldn't even have been as big as juice.

gates was a local hero doing 70-110k on his albums first week with multiple incredible mixtapes beforehand and an organic rise, whilst actually soundtracking peoples lives rather than being a spotify skip

Still can’t believe he gone man

okay so maybe kevin gates level haha.

but some of yall just hype up people who die and make them seem bigger than they were

people hype up the pac level posthumous album but he was on his way to being massive i have no doubt

Are you serious right now? 😂😂😂😂

Imagine if drake died after TML. People would probably say the same thing you’re saying. I guess we don’t really know what pops trajectory would’ve been, but if guys like baby and durk are running s***, then why not pop? His debut wasn’t perfect but it showed promise for his star potential. I’m not usually the type to make artists bigger than they were but I fr believe pop was different from the rest

Juice is a better rapper and didn’t even tap into his rapping yet

And he had much more crossover appeal like Drake type s***

Pop smoke is dope though

I’m not familiar with juice. What are some tracks that show his crossover appeal? I’ve only ever heard him do the emo stuff

XXX could have also blew up. He knew how to make good songs, they just were a bit short sometimes.

Pop could sing, that was a surprise for me.

Both were very talented. Just like Pop.
