#JUELZ SANTANA CRACK IS BACK SERIES#

After God WillвЂ™n, it was hard to believe in Juelz again. Where Lloyd Banks will take forever to drop a mixtape, heвЂ™ll always deliver.

#JUELZ SANTANA CRACK IS BACK SERIES#

Instead, weвЂ™re left with a series of вЂњwhat ifsвЂќ and a former shell of Juelz Santana.

But he also might have fallen off harder with worst music to show for it. He once rapped, вЂњho selection, a whole collection/ a whole selection, of my ho collection.вЂќ He blazed Hot 97 like the fires of hell were opened through his rhymes and that microphone! If only he kept going, he could still be relevant in 2015.

This is the man who made вЂњSantanaвЂ™s Town,вЂќ вЂњS.A.N.T.A.N.A,вЂќ вЂњMake It Work For You,вЂќ and a plethora of mixtape hits. ItвЂ™s really a shame when you replay Juelz SantanaвЂ™s discography. Instead of jeopardizing it, he mostly closed his discography to ensure his legacy was more hits and less flops. Maybe it was Jim Jones telling him he could do this that drove him insane that he couldnвЂ™t live up to that hype. Juelz Santana is a great lyricist, but he doesnвЂ™t possess the drive, energy and mind-state to do all of that. Even if you strip away the businessman aspect, Hov has given us several classic albums, made other artists millionaires, brought us producers who changed the industry, and much more. So, could Juelz Santana have been better than Jay Z musically?Д¬onsidering the impact Jay Z has had, Juelz Santana would have had unreal expectations to fill. The focus always boomeranged back to them as a collective. Even though he found solo success, Juelz was still Dipset. When youвЂ™re used to being in a crew, itвЂ™s hard to translate when itвЂ™s over for some. He tried to kickstart Skull Gang, but it never took off. Once The Diplomats split, Juelz felt lost musically. Unfortunately, that seems like the best answer. I think itвЂ™s too easy to blame his downfall on laziness or being content. What happened to such a promising career? All We Got Is Us, a freestyle tape, as well as a God WillвЂ™n 2 were announced too and subsequently shelved for unknown reasons. There was God WillвЂ™n, the forgettable 2014 mixtape that was supposed to symbolize a return. WeвЂ™ve had a title of Born To Lose, Built To Win for years now. I CanвЂ™t Feel My Face never came out due to obvious label issues, and a third Juelz album never materialized. Ten years later, heвЂ™s still in that position. Still, it felt like Juelz wasnвЂ™t receiving the credit he deserved.ДЄt this point, he was two years removed from his last solo album, What The GameвЂ™s Been Missing. He proved that he could keep up on records like вЂњRewindвЂќ and вЂњHot Shit.вЂќ It was like when The Rock (Weezy) and Mankind (Juelz) teamed up. Anybody else in the game sitting that close to Wayne wouldвЂ™ve collapsed under the weight of trying to keep up with the hottest MC. In 2007, having forged a friendship already, Juelz Santana and Lil Wayne set it off with the idea of a collaborative album, I CanвЂ™t Feel My Face. 1 to 3, Final Destination, and who could forget Blow? There wasnвЂ™t anybody within Dipset who benefited from the mixtape game as much as Juelz. He was much more lyrical than everyone else, which helped him establish a sound that was distinguishable from the rest. Juelz Santana was always one of the stand-out members to me. Listen to everything heвЂ™s done and what his music says.вЂќ ItвЂ™s the boldest statement anybody has ever said about anybody. вЂњI always told Juelz he could be greater than Jay-Z ever was,вЂќ Jim Jones wrote on SOHH.

Instead, a quote from a 2012 guest column is the first thing that comes to mind. When I think of Jim Jones in 2015, IвЂ™m not reminded of his stellar run in 2006. ItвЂ™s actually something that has plagued the whole Dipset crew with CamвЂ™ron suffering it the least and Juelz Santana taking the biggest hit of all. The man who made вЂњWe Fly HighвЂќ just hasnвЂ™t seemed inspired. However, in recent years, I found myself tuning out of his music. As an artist, Jim JonesвЂ™ contributions to the DiplomatsвЂ™ success as well as his own solo run have been nothing short of great.
