Honestly, which rappers have let you down? (Hip-Hop Busts)

[luckyse7enz]

Which rappers have you wanted to root for and support but they either found a way to fail by changing up what was working for them, finding a way to black-ball themselves, or by taking too many real-life L's?

Hell, you can even include rappers that have failed you by putting too much music out OR being lazy as fukk....

I thought Charles Hamilton was going to be a serious problem. Dude hit the hat trick though. Black-balling himself, taking too many real-life L's, and oversaturating the net with his shyt.

Thought XV had a chance too.

Wanted to root for Canibus and Budden. Would've been nice if Game had stuck with G-Unit.
On a lesser note, I wanted The Cool Kids to be able to do more but that was wishful thinking. Dom Kennedy's approaching that level too.

Doctor's Advocate was fire.

 

[Ghost Like Swayze]

Big Sean.

Finally famous mixtapes had me paying serious attention, was feeling like this dude was next to blow... Then the Finally Famous album dropped sounding like 12 tracks of pure struggle. Brehs I tried but this album was a horrible disappointment and really had me throwing the dude in the bushes...

Spoiler

He somewhat redeemed himself with Detroit

Doctor's Advocate was fire.

I agree with the Cool Kids. They had tons of potential. Their solo stuff has been boring. They're a classic example of the whole being better than the sum of its parts.

The potential

This guy is the reason why K.dot blowing up had me so frightened.

 

[How Sway?]

I wouldn't say these dudes let me down but the rappers who I think should be bigger than they are right now.
Papoose
Lupe somewhat
The CoolKids
Bump j
Ace Mac
Rich boy somewhat
Nipsey Hussle

Fashawn

was my favorite rapper 3-4 years ago, just never capitalized on it. Dropped a hot album a couple nice mixtapes, then switched his style up from lyrical to weed-rap Wiz lane.

Saigon is another one. and Pill.

Chamillionaire after he became mainstream with the Ridin' success

Chamil,....
Has not fallen off skilwise.
His permeation in the marketplace is more his label not knowing how to work his record.
Riding dirty was a slow urn grassroots hit,...
That occurred after universal fukked up his initial draw.
Then tries to take credit for riding dirty becoming a hit.
When it was all word of mouth and the term, riding dirty being an buzz word that was poppin!.

Chamillionaire pretty much over performed after universal dropped the ball on him, more than once.
