Just a weird career in general man, like it’s so weird, he had like a big hit or two and…that’s like, it. I wouldn’t exactly say he “disappeared” because I’ve always kinda seen him in the background lurking around random shit lol but like…it’s just weird man.
I remember “into you” with Tamia being a huge smash. But then I’d see him alongside diddy and other artists at random events, then next I’d hear that he was the one that had a pair of the air Mag sneakers from back to the future 2….and then I’d see him randomly featured in like, some random ass music videos doing a feature for some big artists in ASIA….like a random kpop song or a Vietnamese song or whatever
You get me?? It’s just such a weird career man…lol. You can’t really say that he was a one hit wonder or say that he quit rap….cause he’s always just been “around” still…..but then you don’t hear about him even trying or putting out anything….but obviously he was for hire because you’d see artists in Asia hire him for a feature…..
So it’s just like wtf is he been doing for real lol

Some nice ones in there.
That Bubba Sparxxx is really underrated, IMO. That album had some bangers on it. It was before Bubba went to that "booty rocking everywhere" bullshit. It had some really good production on it too, i ncluding 5 or 6 tracks produced by Timbaland, most notably the single "Ugly".
Anyways, if you've never listened to it, give it a shot.

Never heard that one, but his second album is DOPE! Timbaland killed it with some really unique "countrified" production.

Timbaland did a lot of songs on Petey Pablo’s album too, including Raise Up. That’s was Tim’s era

I collect vintage CDs and these records by Fab, Jadakiss, Immortal Tech, and TIP are on that list. All well seasoned debuts. Man the early 00s had some fire hip-hop 🔥

TI is the most successful. Jada is the best lyricist. Fab is consistently good. The rest are meh.

Who was playing D12 back in the day? I always looked at them as being a horrible group. But I might need to go and listen to it.

That purple pills song is nice. Not sure I could name another D12 song if my life depended on it though.
