also Tracy Lee just came out with a new album a month or so ago called ESQ: the revelation i don't know if its good or not tho haven't heard it. he became an entertainment lawyer after his rap career tapered off. hence the name of his album being ESQ. this isn't from the album but this is the most recent shit i've seen from him:

i didnt think it was WACK per se...but he just looks desperate and old. I think he has a COUPLE projects out there
|
12696570, i forgot him. i got a whole new mixtape of his on my computer right now Posted by SHAstayhighalways, Mon Jan-12-15 07:15 PM

12696560, Tracy Lee's a lawyer? Posted by gumz, Mon Jan-12-15 07:04 PM
I never understood why his debut didn't pop...it was a dope album with a great first single
|
12696571, yep. and yea i never heard the actual album but Posted by SHAstayhighalways, Mon Jan-12-15 07:16 PM
i wonder what drove him to one hit wonder oblivion as well. the theme (party time) was dope!

12696583, shit's vague to me now, but Posted by tariqhu, Mon Jan-12-15 07:31 PM
I don't think any of the other singles blew like that first one.
|
12696598, did you really need more than 1 single back then? Posted by gumz, Mon Jan-12-15 07:52 PM
didn't he have a song with Big?

12696573, timing Posted by infin8, Mon Jan-12-15 07:20 PM
video had all the necessary ingredients:
crew posturing football jerseys everone jostling in frunna the camera champagne birds eye view camera angle
but he came off as a 'cool dude' during
1) hard rock era/he didnt look like a REAL nigga or a grimy nigga 2) Philly mighta still been NY Jr. I dont know if heads were really checking
i think it was a combination of factors. he was cool, but I put him the same box as LOTUG, Ill/Al Skratch niggas: NAH
|
12696600, he did make a concept album... Posted by gumz, Mon Jan-12-15 07:54 PM
maybe that's what really did him in. he tried to capitalize on the whole alter ego thing but he took it too far and created like 4 of them shits and they were on the whole damn album lol
|
12696667, I actually have his second album that was supposed to come out Posted by 13Rose, Mon Jan-12-15 10:41 PM
It was set to come out on Universal but they dropped him. Philly DJs didn't see him as a Philly artist and that had to hurt.

12696595, wow. I kinda dig this one Posted by infin8, Mon Jan-12-15 07:49 PM
Drayz actually was my favorite back then. but this is cool. I read a couple interviews from Drayz and I got the impression that Skoob wasnt really tryna rap no more...maybe just not WITH HIM. lol

12696607, That wasnt too bad except for... Posted by ry 213, Mon Jan-12-15 08:02 PM
The terrible R and B singer on the hook. Also it was pretty cheesy when then started doing the "steering wheel" dance in the video, pretty stereotypical. Besides that it wasnt too bad...
