Name an artist who had "it" in terms of star power but never took full advantage

[Buckeye Fever]

My answer will always be Bizzy Bone.



On the stage with a whole boy group, yet the ladies is screamin' for Bizzy

I know he had issues with alcohol and his childhood trauma obviously stuck with him, and those factors definitely played a part in him never taking that ultimate step.

Not to mention the Bone Thugs influence is heard all over music today, but Bone did that shyt without autotune

OP got it in one. Bizzy was definitely the one who should've blown up. Not saying Krayzie isn't good (his laid back yet still somehow energetic flow remains great), but Bizzy was the one whose lyrics I was always trying to imitate.

Krayzie couldn't have come out as first verse on You Ain't Bone and had nikkas ready for war.
