Never Judge Off a First Single

We should never judge an artist off of their first mainstream single...though i've been guilty of it, and im sure you have too. I don't know what it is but some artists attempt to make their first single a hit in an uncharacteristic way. For example B.O.B's first single was "Haterz Everywhere", personally i thought the song sucked ass, and because the song gave me that impression i thought B.O.B was a shitty rapper. Now look at him, his album debuted at No.1, he has two lead singles off of his album, "Nothin On You" & "Airplanes" and seems to have another in "Don't Let Me Fall". So the question is why would an artist so talented put out a song he probably is ashamed of now? Is it for mainstream appeal? or could it be to lure the mainstream audience to who you really are musically? IDK, i have no clue really, but artists who do this fail to realize that they give themselves an false image to the listeners. Here's another example, Tyga, now when Tyga was my favorite rapper back in 07-08 he wasn't popular and was just making mixtapes with features with his GED label mates. Then when he gets the deal with Pete Wentz(Decaydance) and signs to YM he puts out a sub-par single, "Coconut Juice". This kinda upset me because i was telling everyone that he was the next nigga to blow, but once they heard his single they didn't give him another listen. So while artists attempt to make hits that don't reflect their true talents, they lose possible fans that they mislead in the process.

Mistah fab did the same with his "Hit Me On Twitter", but dude can really spit he just may freestyle better than CH, you be the judge.
