The studio gangsta thing seemed to put a hard cap on his level of success.

Cube was moving around with different crews, he had to make sure he could move around without being food.

We saw what Tupac was doing, he probably could charm his way into damn near any group of people on the planet.

Spice 1 is from the Bay, and damn near everyone from the Bay's "gangster" got tested at some point. He couldn't get away with that out there.
