| 1 | * HarsherInHindsight: "Whatever You Like", given that it became a massive hit just as the world entered a historic economic collapse, making it one of the last gasps of the "Bling" culture of the 2000s before it [[CondemnedByHistory died hard]] amid the Great Recession. This all wasn't lost on Music/WeirdAlYankovic, who made it the central theme of his same-titled parody of "Whatever You Like" which was released in late 2008. |
| 2 | * OnceOriginalNowCommon: He was the one who made the southern states ''the'' place for hip-hop. Many who listened to him now have no idea what the big deal was about him. |
| 3 | * SignatureSong: "Whatever You Like". "Live Your Life" would've been a close contender, if not his undisputed signature, had it not been more associated with Music/{{Rihanna}}. |
| 4 | * ToughActToFollow: Since his 2008-9 peak with ''Paper Trail'', he has yet to come anywhere near the success he had before (not helped by his run-ins with the law). He still remains successful and draws in large crowds everywhere, but it's a far cry from his GloryDays. Fortunately, he's managed to avoid complete CondemnedByHistory status, unlike his protege Music/IggyAzalea. |
