Why didn't Juelz Santana make it?

yu could tell he lazy bc he didnt capitalized and make a video for homerun when the audio version was poppin

Wow I was gonna make this thread like 30 times but didn't even wanna waste my time... Juelz lost his drive harder than almost any rapper I've ever cared for... This guy salted his own formula, went from Human ? In The Flesh to I'm a rockstar splashy splash BS... Nomrapper has ever disappointed me more than Juelz especially over the last 5 years. He had the mistake game down to a science with The Back Like Cooked ? volumes he was that ? and then hen started smelling his self too much and all down hill. Stopped using punchlines and replacing them with predictable repetitive bars that a 6 year old could create... He even had a chance to take his ? to new heights after WTGBM, his 2nd album which I still bang til this day but he became a dependant... Dependent on Cam, Jim, and worst of all Lil Wayne... He stopped thinking bout his own ? and relied on Wayne to carry him to superstardom which was a crash and burn after Wayne went to jail.... This Reagan Era jawn is up there with Detox as one of the albums that will never see the light of day...

Lastly, the dude just lost it point blank... It must have been when he threw away the bandana cuz he ain't been the same ever since smfh.... I heard he was on the kirko bangs remix and I actually was excited to see what he talking bout now if he possibly came back with a new hunger and revival of the Tana I used to know but dude came off so damn elementary I just gave up on dude... Height haves lil bread left but he is no longer Santana the Great , dude is basic as hell now and it hurts for me to say bcuz I looked up to Santana heavy in the DipSet Era, the kid Jimmy is leaps and bounds better of a rapper than Juelz nowadays and that's just a shame... Juelz blew his shot at greatness....

I don't know how to post bids but Im a link 3 basement freestyles and just notice the hunger and originality he had.... Ddes flow was one of a kind ow he's weak AF

? is lazy as ? .

DRUGS And ? (A Drug)...Makes you lazy

Wack thread. He DID make it. He was apart of the one of the hottest groups to bless the mic. SMH @ y'all expecting everyone to have Nas, JayZ longevity.

Juelz had an average to above average career. Just because he didn't blow up like Nas and them doesn't mean he didn't make it.

? , for all we know, he might still be working on some ? . Everyone doesn't have to follow the Wayne, over-saturate the industry formula.

Tahe ? has only dropped two albums.... TWO ? albums! Thats not reaching ur potential especially with his credibility as an MC at his peak.... He's already past his prime I would say, missed the bus

The dude had so much potential in his verses on SDE and Come Home With Me. His early Dipset material was decent too.

Then, dude started settling for wack azz punchlines/bars and making some of the worst music known to man

normally i never give anyone one a pass...but i think it was cams fault santana missed tomany collabs because cam went "mia" and didnt wanna "ok" ? ....

His lazy ass just wasn't working. He's the Jadakiss without the BIG cosign and only 2 solo albums/

it might be b/c he's wack as ?

Lil wayne stole his swagger and ran wit it rhymming all slow and ? .And talking about getting head.

ME Human ? in the flesh
Im the last of the best
One word to describe me "Spectacular" YES

Juelz was dope. hope he stays off the syrup. He had good mic presence

Didn't make it ? Huh ?? Wasn't he part of one of the BIGGEST movements in Hiphop ? Dipset is the reason ? was rockin pink & purple, the reason why ? was wearing them big square earrings, rockin their bandana like Santana & why ? were even copying their production style. His album went platinum & his debut went gold, he had classic mixtapes, HUGE singles (dipset dipset) made millions and bar for bar is still one of the nicest ? in the game. He didn't need a Jay-Z co-sign on a song to blow up or influence his audience.

? gotta find a proper definition for "relevance" cuz with the exception of a very very small few there are not a lot of rappers that are still able to be in the game for 10 years + and still sell a lot of albums but that don't mean their irrelevant. Half of these guys just come into the game to make their money, enjoy themselves and then leave when they have enough. Not everybody needs the masses to kiss their ass - the same masses that will turn on them in a heart beat when a new ? comes on the scence.

While I respect this opinion, I can't ? with it too heavy for one simple reason: Santana's the very definition of "hiding weak-ass bars behind the work of producers." Every one of his joints that was hot was only hot because of production. Hell, that entire repetitive rhyming style he brought to the table was ass.

"I told her SHUT UP, but she didn't want to SHUT UP, so I told the ? to SHUT UP and then she SHUT UP"

Hell, it made me sick when Cam started using the ? because I forgot he was nice.
