How Juelz Santana ALMOST Became A Rap Superstar

[@mikewashington2510]

Him and Wayne are like McGrady and Kobe

[@zay7808]

Perfect analogy Wayne was Kobe and just kept goin but at one point they were dam near equal

[@orlandoogando2476]

No the fuck they aren’t

[@TyFadedd]

Lmfaoooo

[@staywavee6474]

Can’t feel my face jawns was hard

[@Aloneat777]

I like this analogy lol but fr though mid 2000s Wayne with Santana on a track was 🔥

[@otmthewave]

Santana is a special artist man.

[@RayPurchase321]

Just wish we’d got that Regan Era album.. still waiting… 15 years. Great content man 👌🏻🙏🏻

[@327Jhigh]

Juelz was the voice of the youth when he came out. We both were in high school. He spoke for us (millennials) after 9/11

[@neezotnp]

Juelz was better than wayne...TNP

[@boomboombaby9140]

@@neezotnp I don’t think so lol

[@dubg06]

My favorite thing about Juelz was how he rhymed the same word over his bars lol it was simple but concise also how he would incorporate the sample of the beat into his rhymes bruh was going crazy back in the days

[@sammymobs3889]

Like Camrons rhyme I’ll take her to abe right after abc that’s Aok lmao

[@user-qx5nk6qg2b]

Everyone did this 😂

[@kevincruise3521]

"Get in the car, don't touch nothing sit in the car" Juelz lit up both main singles from Camron's "Come Home With Me" album and since that day has been highly regarded in my book

[@mr219gip5210]

Julez Santana is one of my favorite rappers off DipSet, him and Killa Cam, flat out

[@EyeCue23]

The real ones remember that Diplomats vol. 1 🔥🔥🔥 man when i jumped in the T-Top cutlass with my big cuz i was bout 18 years old and he was banging that “Facts of life” that shyt changed my life!! I was the biggest Dipset fan since that day

[@darrenp42019]

Juelz was definitely one of my favorites back when I was in high school his debut was cool I just wish he was able to capitalize more off his buzz at the time

[@mattsheezy5469]

Juelz was much more lyrical early on, I think he used to write rhymes when he felt inspired, but later switched to just writing in the studio, his pen game suffered tremendously.

[@LxrdBreezy00]

That and sometimes i feel like he got stuck in his flow and it didn’t translate well on sum beats or the time

[@Aloneat777]

I’ve always been a fan of Juelz from the Dipset era but as a solo artist, I always enjoyed his verses on songs when he did collabs or on his own.

[@yosimtybred1762]

Juelz is "never outshine ya master" if it was a person he literally was the hottest dip at the time

[@programSense]

He had the most people impactful fits and was the youth of that group. But Cam albums were too good.

[@bluemartinez_]

Amazing coverage on his career. Thank you for this dope content piece 🗽

[@jerseydevil1]

Juelz was a superstar where I’m from 😂 growing up dipset was blasting through every speaker in New Jersey

[@jmelz155]

Max came out and gave everyone the Wave. The only Dip who wasn’t affected negatively by it is Cam. Free Max B

[@zeeseeds8151]

Those cant feel my face joints are amazing

[@ChrisDeVarro]

The dipset beats used to be crazy

[@wupac06]

my favourite Dipset member first 2 albums are classics and he is the best part and biggest highlight on Diplomatic Immunity imo even had a better performance than Cam’ron. really wish he dropped more studio albums

[@Philadelphia_Jamal]

His name is LaRon James! That's crazy 😂😂😂

[@juwanjones1120]

YESSIR CLOUT!! Thank you 🫡 AIIGHT!

[@jaimerodriguez1550]

He was right there at the cusp of becoming a rap superstar. The whistle song was huge.

[@smo0chi3]

That song wasn't hittin up here

[@DaRealKonker]

That song was also featured in fast and furious Tokyo drift movie

[@STXRMY365]

I can’t feel my face is super underrated 🔥

[@LatifHZ-ww1tl]

Love Dipset, Killa Cam and Santana the Great

[@jhova187]

He was at his peek when mic check came out. Even when 50 and G unit was out Santana was buzzing in NYC. I saw the impact dipset had when I visited my fam in Miami and ppl were dressing like him and cam. I think the drugs stopped him from taking it to the next level. The proof is in the pudding just look at him currently, sad to see

[@LxrdBreezy00]

The drugs fucked his drive up

[@deleon232323]

I was just listening to from me to you album and came across this video lol. That album is classic, squalie!!!!!

[@LBxType1]

I Can’t Feel My Face, as a group they had so much potential.

[@luckylefty914]

I fuck wit juelz heavy and i have since high school since the early 2000s but legend is a stretch by longer than a mile

[@itzvanceyadig]

God Will'n was such a good project for him to follow up with an album...I hate how we got robbed of his talent, between his 3rd album/Collab album with Weezy.

[@theblueprint2001]

your channel is really dope man. i love how you cover so many classic albums and great artists that other channels dont highlight as much. great job

[@damiandigitaldude5531]

From me too you is a classic ass album🔥🔥💯....miss Juelz...

[@MrEdsonZ]

Congrats on the come up. Great video! Thanks

[@gee7840]

Juelz traded his swag to weezy for lean when weezy went to nyc after Katrina 💯

[@TheDiplomat717]

Facts. If you know you know

[@fungus_am0nguz644]

Did he got heavy into opiates?? Could be one of the reasons why he hasnt released a proper studio album in 20 years, almost 20 fkin years, thats insane but if he was or is battling his addiction, well thats a rough battle for sure.

[@007hellz]

Absolutely

[@brandonkiper6749]

Bro I m from New Orleans and been in Harlem for 15 years I said the same thing when he got on it he couldn’t handle it

[@pesocheco]

Lol hilarious

[@rohantherevolution]

great video. love Juelz Santana. Beat at the end?

[@durandparkerjr9502]

Juelz always had an unique style

[@Vicarious187pro]

I know you’ve done some 3 6 stuff, but maybe one day you can do what happened to all the members as they left the group. Anyway keep up the great work love the consistency.

[@davelyrix6615]

My homie Juelz Santana dope albums and mixtapes

[@mrhitz7060]

Every mixtape you mention.. I have. That was crazy

[@Kkayy020]

Him and Wayne had the same work ethic but in juelz’s case it was limited Wayne is an anomaly he goes even crazier no matter what drxgs he uses Juelz couldn’t do that they both teens starting their careers

[@Bosskawz_Beats]

Juelz had same work ethic as Wayne nigga just never released anything cause he was on a crazy mixtape run said his music hard drive got stolen and it made him lose his ambition to rap

[@luckylefty914]

Lies people have said juelz would go to the studio, get lean’d out and fall asleep and not record anything

[@Bosskawz_Beats]

@@luckylefty914 Everyone got days they not feeling it Juelz was on a heavy feature run like Wayne they used his buzz to promote the lesser dipset acts not to mention he tried to put on his wack crew skull gang or something also he kept announcing Reagan era album tht shit went through atleast 3 diff changes said he had so many unreleased songs shit was crazy

[@Trillavision]

But also Juelz wanted off dipset and camron wouldn’t let him release stuff

[@seanreyes7694]

At one time juelz was my one of my fav rappers,what the games been missing was in my cd player a longggg time

[@joshuamarcano350]

Those beats man. Juelz was elite back then. Lil Wayne changed his style after rapping with Juelz. That’s a fact.

Dipset had so many mixtapes coming out back in the day… they owned NY back then

I think that studio raid really killed his motivation.

[@fresh2cool957]

Yea I said the same thing. Like he’s hesitant about dropping albums now

[@guillermomclean8657]

I remember when Juelz used to called himself human cracc in the flesh now he looking like a straight customer 😞

They had some of hardest beats I ever heard

Its funny how the songs of Juelz didnt really chart on the billboards list but they were all bangers of the streets, everybody was blasting dipset at this time in nyc, they were the soundtrack of the streets in those days. Besides he said what he thinks about that subject on that song in this video. Great video.

[@kbtitan2464]

Need one on Common bro

[@TyFadedd]

I always thought he was overhyped trash. Cassidy, Lloyd banks, and Fabolous was far ahead of their time

You should do a video on S.O.S they were members of dipset from London and apparently took Jules hostage I remember seeing that shit on dvd as a teenager

Dipset is a legend group

[@BIG-7777]

@@seanreyes7694yeah group but a Legend is somebody that stands on his own with or without a group,A Legend is somebody like T.i regardless to what you think about him his career is impactful through and through,don’t get me wrong Santana was incredible in the group dynamic had a number one with Chris brown,he’s done Legend things but it was for a short period 2002-2005,I don’t consider pop champagne to be Legendary ish but to each his own.

[@dr.grinchh]

Underrated Pioneer. Started The Soulful & Sampling Beat Sound 🔥 & He Pioneered The Chrome Heart & BB Simon Wave Too. Really Wish He Got To Reach His Full Rap Potential. You Can Put Young Juelz Wit The Best Of Em & He Was Gonna Hold His Own Fa Sure

[@ShahLeezy]

I can’t let you say that, Jules had AT LEAST a year. Which is A LOT if we’re talking stardom in hip hop.

[@ralami6183]

Never in my life did I think he was ever close to Wayne, seemed like Wayne was looking out for a good friend more than anything making music with him. Not being sarcastic by any means.

[@gregdom2856]

Juelz had barz from debut, youth and success fkd that up for him,Wayne grew into his barz, Wayne idolized NY rap and always wanted to rap like New Yorkers,it took him a while but now Wayne hands down is the most lyrical rapper along side Big Pun

Santana thought he reached the mountain top and became complacent. He was never that guy for me. He was someone who looked like he had potential to be huge, but he never got there

I think there also needs to be a mention of max b within this. Skull gang never took off also because of the underground success of bird gang. In max b jim jones found his juelz santana. They had stack bundles also and it was looking like a better option than skull gang.
