Did Fame Get The Best Of Dej Loaf? (RETIRED) Stunted Growth Music

[@RicoSoprano_]

Dej Loaf was the first female Detroit rapper to really hit it big. We was so proud of her in the city. I just wish she would took advantage of her chance early. That “Try Me” was so hard when it dropped.

[@samuraibenjamin929]

Their was this amazing gangster rapper named Boss

@@jimmyheights5143 *Actually that is NOT true-- *Rappers remix ANYTHING that is HOT and will mess you as long as you're viewed as "popular" (or you can write, produce their songs) *Remember she was HOT off OTHER PEOPLE SONGS singing -*hooks, features and remixes*. She didn't remain popular with just her own music. *And she was popping for like 2 years only just like rich homie Quan was making hits for years(also had big rappers tryna get him their songs) and disappeared because he too REFUSED to sell his soul. *Is why I believe she may have been genuine and not taking an Oath.

[@bettyrocket999]

Your success ultimately is a reflection of your TEAM. The environment will be high demand many personalities. So your foundation, your immediately, people who are called your TEAM need to respect and understand the community that makes the ARTIST culture, the language that builds a stronger artist perspective and artistry. Then you hold EVERYONE ACCOUNTABLE to their commit. This is how you build STARS ⭐️ this is how you create LEGACIES.

Trying to duplicate often stifles an artist.

I think that's what mess them up most of the time too especially when they start putting music out that's completely different from what got them popular in the first place. Like that " love you with no fears" song or whatever it was called that she made was way different from "try me" and I don't think her original fan base wanted something like that from her.
