Em is a hard worker though. Dude is nearly as professional as Dre in the studio. Bishop is not.
I heard Bishop was grindin' in the studio constantly. He wasn't the ungrateful lazy fukk up type. He knew the opportunity that was placed before him
-lets just say Em knew his style better and how he wanted to come out and present himself to the public than Bishop. Just like 50 Cent and The Game too. they had more charisma, style and backstory

i still don't think the music made over these incredible beats was even that good. i dont think the songs ended up being great outside of the occasional few. the songs you posted are good choices though as far as solid songs.
he blew his chance in my opinion. game took that opportunity and pretty much ran with it when he got it and has still turned it into a viable career 7 years down the line.

Dre comes up with an image/lane first, then just plugs a rapper into it. If it doesn't work, he'll just toss the rapper in the bushes and find a new one
This is it.
This is why Bishop, Mr. Malik, King T, RBX, Hittman, Knoc'Turn-Al, and Stat Quo's chit is in the vault.

Grinding in the studio doesn't equal hard work. Wayne spends a lot of time in the studio too, banging out repetitive records and just throwing verses on beats. From what I've heard Bishop was just in there doing the same shyt over and over, was not growing as an artist, wasn't taking advice, and when it came time to put in work with Dre he wasn't holding his own.
Snoop has a history of being super lazy in the studio, but Dre puts up with it because he recognized Dre+Snoop is always a winning combo. If he doesn't believe in you, he won't put up with that shyt breh. Same reason he doesn't do much with 50 anymore - they've gone in opposite directions musically and 50 has little interest in diversifying outside of gangster pop rap
All you're basically talkin' about is Talent breh. Em is simply more talented than Bishop. That's all. Bishop was in that studio putting in work, tryin' to come with lyrics and concepts, pullin' all nighters and whatnot. They just wasn't hot as the next man's music. Everybody tries to paint that "lazy" tag on every rapper that did blow. Stop it. Trust me nikkas be in the studio night and day wit it. If they got studio time then they're definitely in there. But in the end its different levels of talent.

Not understanding this.
Those that did work already had their lane. Like Em

Get out my way, pimpin'.
I'd argue that this accounts for damn near half of all rappers.
wait...wasn't he in the whole mix about leaking detox records too? unless i'm trippin i'm sure that had something to do with him getting thrown in the bushes
i seem to remember him being talking a lot of shyt during that time period and there being a big controversy and his name getting thrown in the pot as to who might have had motive to leak records

There might be higher quality on Dubcnn though.
But seriously though, I never really complained about the Reformation not dropping, because he basically dropped 3 albums on Aftermath. Production and guests were all grade A shyt, no dj, and actual themes. Basically the same theme Game ran with on Jesus Piece.
My ideal Detox guestwise would be Bishop, Game, Kendrick and Snoop. (and Nate Dogg
)
