    Pac shouldn't have jumped on that MOB ? . That LA gangbaning ? is real as ? and there's no room for pretenders or fakers. False flagging and showing out for Suge cost the goat his life. Pac turned his back on everything Afeni, Mattulu, Geronimo, Asatta and the rest of the Panthers taught him. He knew better and he paid the ultimate price.

    I've been saying this for the longest time.

    My favorite group is Bone Thugs, they've made a few career blunders.

    But to start.

    -they shouldn't have kept trying to create another Crossroads

    -The Art of War should've been a single disc


    -they should've pushed Thug Luv with Tupac

    -they should've dropped another group album instead of going solo

    Yo I say it everytime I listen to Art of War. 28 songs? Really ? ?

    That and no memorable singles hurt that album but it still sold based on their name and hype.

    Art of War is a strictly ? for Bone Thugs fans album




    Method Man

    so many things....dude could have been the among the GOATs but he settled or held back and he should have pushed himself more

    Big KRIT

    i would say change up his production everyonce in awhile it would be dope to hear KRIT on other producers beats

    worrying to much about not selling out to their original ? sound

    K.B. should of done more of his own thing

    got educated earlier so he could of been pushing his solo career

    Street Military is dope but they stick to the ? format

    K.B. diversifies his sound and is more a mainstream type of artist cuz he don't stick to 1 format

    developed relationships with dope producers that could help him make more dope albums

    collaborated with more rappers Street Military stayed away from that

    stayed more active to give the fans the material it takes to dominate the rap game

    in an environment with steep competition

    some things you can't avoid like one of the dopest rappers Pharoah getting locked up

    Should of came out with another K.B. & Lil Flea album those 2 have a great chemistry

    They stay true to themselves unlike other rappers who do anything to get some shine

    rather stick to the integrity of the music win lose or draw

    Pharoah should of recorded material before he got locked up so they could drop 1 more Street Military album.

    Street Military should of raised more for promotion and recorded at least 2 more albums

    There is alot of politics in underground Hip Hop

    You have to work with other rappers from the S.P.C. ... every rapper counts ... and it's hard to keep everyone on the same page .... people are gonna like your or hate you and their fans follow ....each rapper has friends and family each count the numbers add up ... everyone has a vision .... this is the streets ... no Meek Mills no Wale no Cole ... the only thing is South Park. Niccaz don't give a dang you wanna be a rapper or your style is better ... the more hood you are the more you struggle the more you respected ... you try to come in there shining to hard .... gutter South Park ni99az aint gone feel ya.

    Some kats don't wanna hear ya if you aint SUC or Swishahouse

    as dope as Street Military is the culture is set in place you try and come with some different it's harder

    even the reason has it's own culture and no matter how dope you are there are obstacles

    plenty of dope rappers don't get proper shine

    I still think that Street Military can rise above the limitations

    - 50 Cent should have tried to diversify his content and been more introspective (tell us about your personal relationships with women and in business, people scheming, etc). He stayed one dimensional and it hurt him and by the time he realised it by then his audience had moved on.

    - Lloyd Banks needs to be more visible and release videos for his music and actively promoted them

    - Pac should have stayed home

    - Big shouldn't have gone to LA without security left right and center especially after Pac's shooting. If he had people in the streets he should have had a heads up.

    - 50 Cent should have taken Coca Cola stock entirely instead of cash when he sold vitamin water (SMMFH)

    - Jay, Fif, Dre should have bought Tupac's catalogue

    - Currensy and Big KRIT need to stop giving away free music. It's simple - a label can't promote and will not fully promote an album if their artist gives away most his music for free because fans won't pay for it especially ? rap fans, the diehard fans might hit everyone else will just wait for the free music. Rap fans have no loyalty, they will complain but rarely support the artist. Spitta and KRIT will never blow until they figure this out. Why would I invest $3 million when we might recoup 200k because you gave the music away for free ? SMMFH

    - Lil Wayne is never gonna see a dime from cash money lawsuit. He's gonna have to walk. Leave cash money and go sign to Rocnation already

    - ASAP Rocky needs to return to music and leave partying and girls alone for a while. He isn't focused.

    - Fab needs to make Soul Tape 4 an album and stop giving away free music

    You do know most rapper make more money off touring than actually album sales. So why wouldn't they put out new music to tour to. Artist promote themselves more than the label now of days. Label are almost obsolete. Mixtape is the artist doing the music they want to do while promoting themselves and do shows off it, at the same time
