If Ice Spice is smart and her team has her best interests — her sophomore era could prove more successful.

I think her rapping style is authentically her. Even though it's basic. Her pre-debut work was less polished, but more relatable. Ice Spice has a certain quality / sound — you hear it, you know it's her. People found her relatable.....

And there's nothing wrong with creating more polshed visuals / aesthetics / brand identity, obvs with bigger budget. It's like she stopped being humble during her quick rise to 'princess' status.

The decline in her popularity was as fast as her rise... like that bad PR Central Cee stunt, where it seemed like she was mostly blamed ... the hate she received during that whole Ice, Central, Madeline Argy was not a good a look.

+ the shady unprofessional behaviour (Cleotrapa) and the leaked messages about stuff allegedly said about Nicki. I say allegedly, but whatever bond she had with Nicki is clearly not there.

It's like she burned through her bridges way too early. At least the Latto collab shows she's willing to move past previous drama.

+ Her debut LP was mediocre — just felt like leftovers from her EP. Her feature Fisherrr remix was hopeful.

Time will tell
