has to have been a rappere before jail cant start rappin post jail

maybe X

xxxtentacion went into jail as a somewhat bubbling underground rapper, came out, and was one of the most popular artists of his era

yh u right tbh 100percent

Migos had hella motion after Offset got out, if that counts

Gucci imo

Carter 4 era Wayne

I'd say Max B is more commercially viable since release

one of the best first day out tracks ever

Durkio when he’s out

None of you niggas knew of Tee Grizzley before his first day out song,
So he gotta be up there

Did Gunna get more motion or just mantain his already big motion?

He was huge in 2022 right before jail. He even outsold The Weeknd

Gucci got more popular and successful after prison

Nav

Lil Baby

this a good point

Everyone back then was rooting heavily for Meek after he came out of his jail stint too

Remember how big this photo was?

weeknd thing got proven false iirc cus thug was botting streams on his behalf

whereas, after prison he was selling out shows left n right; madison square garden // and achieved his 2nd biggest top ten single (solo, no features). +people noticing thug falling off w the music made him staying afloat after the death knell of snitch allegations seem almost mythical lol

U know i rememeber the call but if Billboard or someone else dont make an investigation/statement about it, to me is pretty unfair to just remove 50k from his sales and imma still count as he sold 150k, thug can say what he wants lol

The show part is a good point tho. He def made his active fanbase bigger and more involved

Came into say Tee Grizzly, niggas come home and drop an”first day out” to this day

Gucci did it first

I got a pack of hungry wolves and if I don't feed em
Then they might turn on me feel like I don't need em

Nigga what

Hold up lemme drop my iq 50 points and read that again

Nah im still confused
