Rappers that came up in the wrong era

[Ohene]

Skyzoo, Blu, Elzhi, Jay Electronica, 7even Thirty, Torae, Guilty Simpson....


all would have done well when rap was rap.

Lemme add Little Brother to your list

 

[Big Mel]

They actually kinda came out right on time IMO.

 

[MrFettuccinnePockets]

they are actually ass. even though they have "bars". super cornballs. super fake. super affected. super toys.

This igga said the clipse was meh.....




,keep going

What you mean fam ?

If KRIT just focused on albums, he can gain more steam in the singles he drops. Studio albums get WAY more attention than a mixtape would ever do
Not just KRIT, but rappers would put straight piff-ness on a mixtape, which only their core fans would get to hear, instead of putting all that focus on an album. So instead of 100% classic shyt on a studio album, it'll be 50% classic shyt for a mixtape, 50% classic shyt on an album. It waters down their material breh

Putting out too much mixtapes oversaturates your brand, and fans lose interest by the time your album comes out

Lupe? Jay elec? Krit, Rich Kidd

 

[Milk N Cookies]

on a second note...8ball and MJG are underrated as fukk.

Yes, they are. I can seriously loose myself when they come on...

Joel Ortiz would've been a star in the 90s.



Jay Electronica and Blu are too "artsy" for the 90s. Jay E done well for someone who never dropped an album.

Krit is too multi-talented. This's an era where it's good to be rapper/singer/producer/director. In the 90s rappers just rap. Also Krit is a real person. Not a character.

 

[The Ruler 09]

Last Emperor
Brother Ali
Slug

 

[The Ruler 09]

Jay Electronica

I said that for the longest time. Mixtapes de-value your music and make your fanbase take your tracks for granted.

Saigon came in the wrong era. If he came out back in 96, he would been a star.

If Maino came out in the late 90s with the super thug shyt, he would have a CNN type following.

Killer mike has been in the game ten years fam
