Starang Wondah (O.G.C)
I always felt like he could've been a superstar.
He didnt have the swag of an underground/backpack rapper.
No shots @ Duckdown. But a label like Bad Boy could've groomed him into a Mase type rapper.

He wasnt as skilled as Sean Price and Rocness Monsta. But he had the juice.
His delivery/cadences were A1.

Same goes for Louisville Slugga...
Duckdown wasnt the right label for O.G.C.
Their sophomore album was a solid 4 mic banger.

Such a waste.

Shout out to Top D.O!

I never heard of dude but he seems like an off-brand Big Daddy Kane! Wonder if they thought that back then!:mjlol:

that was part of the problem. he came right after BDK in '88 and his album dropped in 1990. he probably wouldve been better if he had an affiliation like Juice Crew and Biz.

I liked big noyd who was featured on a couple mob deep tracks

I dont really put Noyd in the category, he isnt a star but he has been known for a while as the 3rd (unofficial) Mobb Deep member. he had dope albums. if you name him, you have to name MOP's 3rd member, Teflon. My Will was one of the hardest albums to come out back in the 90's. Both him and Noyd still tour with their respective groups today.

Ok, CJ Mac is more popular, but mad underrated. Definitely had potential to be a big star...thought this single had them on their way


Seen him tryna get into the improv for a Mike Epps show last year. :mjlol:

:jawalrus: I'm CJ Mac, you should have some tickets for me.

:usure: No we don't have anything for you.

Bad Azz.
If you haven’t heard his „Word On Tha Streets“ album I definitely urge you to listen to it. Very strong body of work, great production, features from Snoop, Kurupt, Tray Deee, Lady Of Rage, Outlawz & his crew the low lifez and Bad Azz is a great rapper.
