He was never going to achieve Nas like success, IMO. He just doesn't have "it". That's not a criticism, because, as I said earlier, I really don't think he wanted that career and all that came with it. It seems like The Firm fiasco and then the Def Jam situation soured him on the game (understandably so).
However, around say 2003 or 2004, riding the momentum of those first two official albums, he had a chance to get a lesser crown, the street KONY, but the pause in his career opened the lane for other guys to come in and stake their claim.
By the time he put out Born and Raised in 2009, it was seven years between real albums, and the ship had sailed. ___________________________ OL' DIRTY BASTARD on himself: "I may curse, I may have a bad mouth, whatever whatever.
