He definitely underachieved.

But it also seems like he's cool with that. So his expectations for his career are definitely not as high as what the people wanted for him. He had the potential to do some great sh*t, but for whatever reason, seemed to be more focused on weirdo sh*t that derailed him.

I forgot about that song :francis:

I had to check when it was released and compared to what was released that year it is not a song everybody knows :mjlol:


:francis:

You compared it to songs released that year but forgot to compare it to a more popular solo Killah Priest song because KP doesn't have a song more popular solo then Exhibit C. Which was my point from jump in post #6.

Bro dropped his debut album at 50 years old alongside arguably the greatest rapper ever who literally stole the show on basically every song…because he’s arguably the greatest rapper ever. That was a bad move, I mean it’s fire to get a whole project with boy but still, this is your debut, you made us wait forever, smh.

He released one mixtape that caught a crazy buzz.

Dropped one single that caught on like wildfire.

And then over a DECADE LATER released an album with one of the greatest rappers of all time riding shotgun that garnered a Grammy nomination.


If anything, with his relative lack of output, he overachieved.

That's actually a compliment as he chose to release and use his name to establish his music at will.

He did Good and still can pull a crowd & get features.

CANIBUS & DOC! --------underachievement
