i only came in here to mention that Sauce Money is another fat rapper who doesn't get mentioned either.
Cool rock ski is the other and the original best fat rapper.
Arguably Best name in rap history too.
Was ahead of his time on just stick"em.
That imo no fat rapper has really been on his level of skill via timeline. Maybe others improved or had other bells and whistle. Or just came from his playbook. Yet there really has been rappers of the overweight persuasion.
people like better but in timeline based on skill. Cool rock ski was the pound for pound best overweight rapper by timeline.
Big and chubb were the evolution of. what if cool rock ski went solo with prince Markie dee. While heav is what if the fat Boyz. were all one group member. Plus pop draw marketable like prince Markie dee as a solo.
In that no other fat rapper has been on the same timeline of skill like cool rock ski.
Where cool rock ski required no ramp up in skill.
The solo overweight rappers of lore. Get propped more rightfully so because they do three times the work. Yet singularly verse to verse via timeline. None of them were that level of dope at hardcore. On their first appearance like cool rock ski was.
Who never needed to ramp like Big and never struggled being hard-core like heav. Even when the direction of the group was compromised. Dragging them all into nondraw ol school way of thought hell.
