Dro is one those artist that you feel that he's still a big name but then you turn around and be like "wait a sec, where'd he go??" and then you realize that he actually fell off miles down the road.
It’s like he’ll fall off but then comeback a couple of years later. Fall off again and comeback with another hit a couple of years later. This was the most talented inconsistent rapper ever lol.
His verse on Rich Kids' "Patna Dem" was a favorite of mine growing up. Haven't finished the video but he definitely should've been a bigger name in the industry

Thank you for your contributions
Outside of Wayne and Jeezy...NO ONE had a better/more influential mixtape run than Dro!!! He wasn't just not making music, he was dropping CONSISTENT mixtapes full of heat...and touring off of them. IYKYK
When I first got his "Day One" Gangsta Grillz mixtape in Miami, on Memorial Day weekend back in 2006, I couldn't stop playing it. That shit was FIRE. I hate that Dro didn't blow up, as he should've. Great feature today, Stunted Growth! Keep it going!
@@MarkHallOfFame True...With all his mixtapes & even the songs he thows out every once in a while though...Gotta wonder "what if"...if he kept bringing that...
I literally just had this convo with my bro this morning drugs & signing with grand hustle stunted his growth nobody on the label ever gets fame like t.i.
I know him and Iggy Izalia were signed to Grand Hustle and I red that she was getting into with Tip too, but I also think part of the reason she fell off is cause of all the people she was beefing with. We haven’t heard anything from her in a long ass time and if she ever does comeback I don’t think she’ll ever be as big as she was at first, her and Dro were both signed to Tip and both ended up falling off smh..I know Dro is still doing a little bit of music. But we’ll see if he’ll be able to climb back to the top with Tip, I believe he can and will do it.
I cant wait until he does Mally G from the group Illegal to being featured on Biggie and Busta Rhymes projects to Def Squad affiliate to not being mentioned anymore he was definitely a lyrical beast
I only got to know Dro when Da Reality Show dropped. It waz well received and had a couple of bangers in it, that was in 2015. I think he still could have stayed relevant cause I don't know what happened after that except something about Fantasia.
He killed his verse on Here On In that he was featured on with Curren$y. He through the years dropped mixtapes and features here and there so he was still rapping
Dru nd tip was such a perfect pair!! I started too like dro more then tip when he came out like I was soo hurt when how he fell off his store was different
It’s heartbreaking when you see how much potential this man had as a superstar that just went to waste. He was most certainly one of the biggest trendsetters that the game had seen. The ‘Black boy swag white boy tags’ mixtape with Yung La is the reason why ppl in Georgia stopped wearing clothes 3 sizes too big 😂😂.
Dro biggest issue was not ever having a major label pushing him, like most rapper labels most the budget & attention goes to the rapper who owns the label. It's the same reason 2 chainz was more successful when he left dtp. But dro was too loyal to tip & the drugs obviously kept his ambition to grow very low. Look at his 1st album, it went gold off one single yet grand hustle only did 2 videos for it, a major label would have done 3 or 4 singles following shoulder lean & pushed it to platinum same as they was doing for tip. Dro was dropping hits off mixtapes & grand hustle never got behind them. Take off, I don't know yall, freeze me, all kinda shit that came out after the 1st album
Of course it was the drugs. We need to do a better job of identifying when someone is struggling and getting them the help they need before their life is ruined.
Young Dro was one of a kind in the 2000s. Wish he kept going after his first Grand Hustle album

Rocko needs a episode
Agreed 👍👍
Big one to mention 💯
💯
Facts
No. No he doesn’t he needs to be forgotten about.
I still play “Rubberband Banks” from time to time. It always reminds me of how nice Dro was, and how I liked his music.
And the beat to this track was hell in da trunk!
Same Here

“My feet’s an amphibian” is still one of the most hilarious lines in rap history.

"Ice cream whip, 31 Flavors/Baskin-Robbins getting my dairy on..."
@@silkysantiago exactly…you know! 🫵 😂😂
@@ShrimplessScampi No one rode a beat and found a pocket like Dro. He was a feature killer just like Wayne/Busta. He always brought heat!
He did have a 2015 single that was dope, "we in da city." It got him back on the breakfast club.
⛽️ ⛽️ ⛽️
I was just about to say this
And "FDB"
@@MrEOM41 Westide Bankhead FDB...
Also when tip went to jail 08'ish, I believe stunted Dro a lil too
@vittiriowashington5211 I agree. I remember TI kinda rebranded Grand Hustle into Hustle Gang in the early 2010s (2012-2013) era
I swear to GOD:
I was at work last night and thought Stunted Growth should do a video on Young Dro.... whatever happened to him???
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Manifested super fast huh😂
That young dro hellcat mixtape is a classic. Me and my homie that passed use to play that on repeat. Miss that dude
Dro was so damn lyrical , he should have been a whole superstar
😅😅😅😂😂😂 if he lyrical what’s Nas

IYKYK
Dro still dropping heat...people just still sleeping on him..
Exactly. Real fans know.
FACTS!!
Dro could of definitely took over South, lyrical, stage presence, swag and all out slaying beats. I'd love to see one done on Twista.
🙄🤣
Twista had a solid career.
@@dennyosifo-oo6psAnd still doing features. He’s good.
As a long time resident of ATL, I always wondered what happened to this guy, cause I thought he was really ill...
Honestly I like Dro over Ti. To me Ti seems too cool for school to me but , Dro was relatable as someone you can have an regular conversation with. 💯
😅 I highly doubt that neither of these dudes know what a school is 😂
They complimented each other, that's why all their collabs hit. Dro could always hold his own with Tip at TI's height.
Not many could.
When I first got his "Day One" Gangsta Grillz mixtape in Miami, on Memorial Day weekend back in 2006, I couldn't stop playing it. That shit was FIRE. I hate that Dro didn't blow up, as he should've. Great feature today, Stunted Growth! Keep it going!
Yes it was 🔥
Can you do Domino next? He was dope! Or Tiffany Evans I loved her voice ❤

@@stuntedgrowthmusic thank you! Didn't know you already did him! Watching it now .
Dros wordplay was crazy. He def can rap. Idc wat nobody say
One of the most underrated lyricist to come out of the south easily.
His first album is really good
Man, I’ve haven’t heard about this dude in years, he could’ve been the next king of the south.
Underrated southern lyricist for real
Dro is a underground legend
Come to think of it, Dro had more hit features than actual hits!
He did his thing on them mixtapes. I'm still messing with em.
Forever a Dro fan
You gotta do one on RA The Rugged Man. That story is crazy
Dro was honestly a damn good rapper… he even had a mini comeback with that FDB track that went vine viral
Requested this one way back when this series first started 🤘🏾
Dro was nicer than Tip, but couldn’t stay off that narcotic 🤦🏾♂️
I remember T.I. saying Dro could keep up with him on the mic...I always did think Dro was better though...
You could argue Dro was a better “lyricist” but he was certainly not a better artist or songwriter.
@@MarkHallOfFame True...With all his mixtapes & even the songs he thows out every once in a while though...Gotta wonder "what if"...if he kept bringing that...
Dro seems happy with the change though and not to thirst to get back to stardom. Wise and one of the hottest spitters of the south, def top 20.
He’s still my favorite rapper all time
Rocko also signed an unknown Future at some point, what happened to Rocko?
Do the Ying yang twins
"Sir" needs one. That man is a very underated.
One of my favorite sleeper Artists of ALL TIME
“PSC without me they fake” -Dro
😂
My niggaz.
God as my witness, I’m tired and tired of livin
@DevinHindsman-gl8oy Naw bruh you better find something worth holding onto

Damn you must have poor taste in rap 😂
I literally just had this convo with my bro this morning drugs & signing with grand hustle stunted his growth nobody on the label ever gets fame like t.i.
Always Loved Dro!♥️📀
I still listen to his first album regularly.
Dro on "Problems" By Hustle Gang will forever be 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Camp lo, could you please do on on them. They had such promise.
I agree. stuntedgrowth should cover this next
Do Lil Scrappy Next
Rocko went to school with dro also! Polo da don too & daddy mac. Ralph Bunche
Shout out to zone 4
Dro can rap for real also a good dude glad to see he's sober continued blessings to him.
I know him and Iggy Izalia were signed to Grand Hustle and I red that she was getting into with Tip too, but I also think part of the reason she fell off is cause of all the people she was beefing with.

Don’t forget B.o.B was signed to grand hustle too
Dro was one of my favorites back den they polo flow was 2nd 🥈 to none
I cant wait until he does Mally G from the group Illegal to being featured on Biggie and Busta Rhymes projects to Def Squad affiliate to not being mentioned anymore he was definitely a lyrical beast
Definitely do rocko..underrated song writer huge potential
We need Tha Joker aka Joker2cold from Jackson Ms. K Camp completely took his spot back in the day
Man, Shoulder Lean was my RingTones for years.
I would like for you to do a Stunted Growth video about Another Bad Creation
Best Thang smoking was a top album of 06 to me.
Drugs, drugs and more drugs =stunted growth 👍🏿
Stunt #4: TI HELD HIM BACK
False
It was the drugs, NEVER TI.
Dro said it himself. Real fans know.
Alright its time for Rocko.
He came out and said drugs stopped him BUT he will still out rap 90 percent of rappers right now
What about Armaggedon, Prospect or Triple Seis, from Terror Squad..?
Shoot Dro the truth go listen to songs like "100 yard dash" or "Naw" from mixtapes & you'll see!!!
I only got to know Dro when Da Reality Show dropped. It waz well received and had a couple of bangers in it, that was in 2015. I think he still could have stayed relevant cause I don't know what happened after that except something about Fantasia.
His first album was good
Should do Camp Lo next!
Do pastor Troy next, i always appreciated what he did but he never got to where he should have
*Five* brothers dying from overdoses? That's horrendous :(
He killed his verse on Here On In that he was featured on with Curren$y. He through the years dropped mixtapes and features here and there so he was still rapping
Dru nd tip was such a perfect pair!! I started too like dro more then tip when he came out like I was soo hurt when how he fell off his store was different
Cyhi The Prynce up next. And Backwudz
Also Rocko.
Hey that dude Avery Storm, though not too much of a fan but a listener when I get that sound that just clicks. Yeah that dude is overlooked.
Damn man, you have been banging out these videos like their hit songs 😂😂😂
Shoulder lean was his best track.
🎶Shoulder Lean🎶 and 🎶Fxck Dat Bxtch🎶 was 🔥.
Please do one on Ruff Ryders Record
Do a stunted growth video on grand puba
Yes he already admitted to it...
Another individual associated with my hometown Augusta Ga, Pastor Troy up next?
Chevy painted tropical, awimbawe -awimbawe, got’em calling FEMA cause the chopper on Katrina spray!
It dont matter when dro kicked his addiction he still got bars and the best thang smoking
The ASAP Mob needs an episode especially ferg
Dro had bars
you do know there was a lawsuit from rocco and TI about the contract and rocco found and started Futures career..
Not hooking up with 50 was his own downfall.
🎶Let me see you bounce to the left and let your shoooulder lean , shoulder lean🎶
Don't forget...he's the one who brought "my girl got a girlfriend" to rap culture...not Lil Baby.
IYKYK.
Dro being to Signed to T.I. Was a Stunt in itself Ti wasn’t ready to let a Artist signed to him be potentially BIGGER than Him
He actually said his dream was to sign an artist bigger than him. That was how he wanted to be remembered idk how he feels now.
Dro tight I like his swag he got that same style like me I younger than him by 10 year's dro 44 I 34 I the younger version of him
Fdb is a top ten song of all time
DG Yola or Field Mob need an episode
Crime mob needs one 💯
Do Pasta Troy next 💯

Sure did I Became a fan from New York first album and a few freestyles
T.I. going to jail didn't help communication between Dro & Atlantic.
🔥🔥💯
Do Saafir or Smoothe da hustler video please
Do a rhymefest stunted
Bro you forgot about ‘We be in the city’ and ‘Fk dat B*ch’…those were hits when he came back around 2015ish!!
Can you please do Bun B next?
