Dope But Relatively Unknown Rappers From the 90's

[FreshAIG]

Outlaw Immortalz for sure.


In 99/00/01 if you asked me who had a potential shot at being up next it would of been Napoleon imo. So much talent.


Unsung Death Row talent.

CPO was fire. Just so you know is one of my favorite songs on that sdtk

 

[wizworld]

these were my favorite tracks...

Phan Tasm...
I'm about to set it
Give me the rock and I'mma net it

That was the joint

Man JLive literally epitomized hip hop in the human form ... don’t see how anyone could hate on him ... I still remember getting “The Best Part” bootleg ...

And I remember you from SOHH... we were all anticipating the bootleg to drop ... what a time ...

J Live was unequivocal leader of an underground era, which in retrospect, was way overhyped and filled with alotta rappers who deserved to be there ... but JLive was unquestionably a rare talent who really never got his due and chance to transcend that.

J Live got his due imo, he has a fanbase, and his name is going to come up when you talk about that scene. He's a less charismatic offshoot of Posdonous imo, so I never envisioned him having mainstream success. His first two albums were pretty good.

DMC's artist, video was funny:

I'll follow up that Video Music Box blassic with another one

You
Cant
Do
Me
None

Another funny video

Thought for sure this guy had next. This was a underground hit but he never advanced despite incredible skills.

Came in here to post him, breh was nice, rhyme schemes were sick.

Of course my people's Natural Elements. I'm slightly biased cuz I saw these cats come together and make this but still...

Anything i want i get it, I'm Magnetic

I fux with Pos but Live is on another level. Pos could NOT carry a solo . And I don’t think anyone really thought he’d have mainstream success , but 1. I would have liked for him to have a shot and 2. I would have liked for him to get some mainstream placement(s) at least ... but that was a different time .

If you could replicate that era today with him easily being the cream of that sub genre , he woulda get some placements right now ... I could see him doin a late night talk show performance ... hopefully one of these gaming designers who are students of the game , show him some love and feature his music on something . But yeah he had/has a strong following ... I have no doubt that he’s good in life . Period . I just still feel like musically , he wasn’t , hasn’t been heralded enough .

I thought Defari from Likwit Crew would blow after I heard this...

Aristotle pretty much ended his career in a battle, dude fell of the map notoriety wise after that

That English brother Tony Bones was nice

Dude has probably hung his mic up, there's a white dude with the same name with a bunch of youtube vids

I know Tony Bones, he moved to Europe and is doing design in the advertising sector. Great and smart guy.

Outside of the Pos J Live stuff I understand what you are saying now. He would be a bigger artist if he came out now, he was the prince of underground rap for a few years. That first run of singles would have done crazy streaming numbers.
