Post diversified his sound, his look and his fanbase.
The trajectories of their careers have been wildly different. Interestingly enough, Post Malone actually opened for Fetty Wap at one time. It was so blatantly commercial, that it could have utilized a contrast in sounds to make it pop more (a la combining 21 Savage with Post on ‘ROCKSTAR’) but didn’t.
A Max Martin-inspired trumpet weakly guided Fetty’s flow and Nicki’s comfortability on the record only hurt it. I remember sitting in a cubicle, refreshing a hip-hop blog to see Fetty’s follow-up single had just been posted. The label actually tried to re-release it again in June this year, just because of how much they lost on it. Instead of redirecting his sound, and reminding those of his street roots, 300 Records tried to churn out a carbon copy of the ‘QUEEN’.ģ00 may have wasted all of their resources getting an expensive verse from the then-relevant Minaj, hoping to strike gold with a track that immediately fizzled when released in December 2016. Whereas the bubbling ‘JIMMY CHOO’ went viral and showcased a chant-influenced flow that we’d become familiar with Lil Pump using, the Minaj-assisted single did the opposite. That track may have single handedly killed his longevity. The biggest mistake in Fetty’s career post-Trap Queen? ‘LIKE A STAR’ with Nicki Minaj. So while it may have been easy to predict that the New Jersey rapper may not have a bevy of flows, the amalgamation of Young Thug and Tory Lanez in his voice at least hinted at more formulaic ballads that could chart. Both ‘TRAP QUEEN’ and ‘AGAIN’ relied on the same premise and musical notes. Many of his hit tracks recycled the same melody–albeit to heights of dizzying success.Īll-too-familiar in 2015 were cries of ‘YEAHH BABY’ on a sugary, trap-influenced beat. The cracks began to show early in Fetty Wap’s rise to stardom. With no credible guest appearances or emerging beats to rap, Homie fell off because of bad label dealings and alienating relationships. He’s been basically left out of the ATL loop for years now, and that can’t be contributed to his lack of involvement with Quality Control–as Thug and Future have proved to be successful otherwise. Thug called him ‘Bitch Homie Quan’ and never collaborated with him again. Young Thug apparently grew tired of Rich’s act when Rich said he wanted to do more than just Rich Gang. According to rapper Jackboy and others, Homie was notorious for being late to send guest verses or not sending them at all. When Rich Homie returned in 2017 with BACK TO THE BASICS, his only feature was someone named Cyko and employed just 3 notable Atlanta producers. He refused to release a song for all of 2016 because of it–as Migos blew up off ‘BAD AND BOUJEE’ and Thug transcended hip-hop with his JEFFREY mixtape cover. Rich Homie admittedly signed a bad deal without having lawyers review–causing him to receive minuscule payment for records like ‘FLEX’ or ‘TYPE OF WAY’.
His melodic, street-inspired rhymes almost seemed superior to his contemporary Future at times, yet Quan’s independent record label T.I.G. YG’s ‘MY N***A’ was another hit that benefitted from the Atlanta crooner’s skill set. The 16-track project serves as the follow-up to DeJ Loaf’s No Saint EP, which dropped in May.But that was always the issue with Rich Homie Quan: most of his sauce was spread on other artist’s tracks.
Sell Sole II also features Gunna, Conway The Machine, Benny The Butcher, Big Sean, 6LACK, Boldy James, 42 Dugg and Sada Baby. The Detroit-bred artist unveiled the tracklist for her upcoming LP via Twitter, revealing guests such as Lil Uzi Vert and Rick Ross. The upcoming project is being billed as her debut LP despite dropping six years after her breakthrough single "Try Me."ĭeJ Loaf has recruited some of Hip Hop’s top stars for Sell Sole II, which is being billed as her debut album.
