I remember thinking he was gonna be huge after that song dropped

My real nigga sources are deadass triggered by this thread because of how many New York niggas this could apply too my g.

Murder Ma$e - (This was mostly his own doing for f***ing son's ex-girl and getting ran out of Harlem. But to see where the nigga that at one point was next in line to pick up the baton after Biggie passing is now, is sad to see yo)

The entire New York in the 00s - (State radio turned their back on everything (fuck Ebro for this), along with 50 Cent dividing us along with the ones with the biggest potential ending up dying. Rest in peace Stack.)

Ja Rule - (We were honestly robbed of a great artist. Between the Murder Inc trial and the 50 Cent disses and the HORRIBLE Blood In My Eye album (with clapback being the exception and that's cause of that beat that every nigga in new york wanted to freestyle to. myself included) the spotlight from son just started to dim)

The entire Beast Coast movement - (went away from the sound that blew them up, also think the movement died with Steez.)

A$AP Rocky - (Nothing was the same after Yams died. Son could've been the modern Diddy to Rocky's BIG if not for the lean )

Juelz Santana - (Could've been the biggest nigga off Dipset if son's work ethic was in order. This one f***s me up the most yo)

Lloyd Banks - (rap is just not a good place for introverted ass niggas son)

B.O.B. - (Son went down a youtube conspiracy rabbithole one day and never came out. Man son had so much potential)

Lupe - (At one time son was my favorite lyricist not named Jay z, Nas, or anyone from Wu Tang. Forsaked the music for bars. Which is great...but it don't expand your audience yo.)

Jeremih - (For someone with as much talent as he got and as dope as son's pen is, there is no reason why he is where he's currently at right now...I mean besides f***ing that CEO's shorty)

Vic Mensa - (Son developed an identity crisis and never figured it out)
Kendrick - (Son went from a spitter that could paint vivid pictures wit his words to an alien-voiced version of Eminem and frankly seeing the switch has been disappointing to say the least)

Hodgy Beats - (As someone that used to be my favorite rapper out of Odd Future, Untitled EP was my favorite thing that came out that camp, I do NOT know what happened to son but he weirded out yo)

Bishop Lamont - (was supposed to be Kendrick before Kendrick. Dropped the motherfucking ball and had some of my favorite Dre beats like this )
