compare hip hop in 2014 to 2009 , not much changed.
The same artists are dominating the Charts, with a few acts that are hot at the moment but you know nobody will talk about them in a year or two.

ciara had a bigger run than aaliyah.
but yea, i said it BACK THEN that she shouldnt have parted ways with jazze pha. and then, i was proven right soon after.
i didnt expect her to last longer than she did anyway, unless she sold out and went pop.
if they were actually pushed, the cool kids couldve blew up then, and they still can blow up now in 2015. they fit in well with both time periods and the best thing about them is that they effortlessly cover so many different grounds while simply sticking to their own little script. those guys were money together. trust.
i dont know why people keep listing lupe fiasco. he came out at the absolute perfect time.
i kinda like troy ave but he wouldnt have been chit in that era. he doesnt have the talent to compete with those guys. and he probably was indeed running around new york trying to get on back then. right now is the PERFECT time for him.
no offense but there isnt much momentum for LA now either. nippsey hustle has what it takes to blow tho. i said it in '09, and it still rings true to '15. dude can spark an ACTUAL rebirth for LA hip-hop if he were to get on a major and have the right producers. hes the type of guy that outsiders want to hear when they think of the west. not this forced rebirth, im talking bout a LEGIT rebirth. he has IT.
smh @ this.
max b is way better than those corny niccas.

Canibus was and still is too complex to this day
his later more conscious minded work goes over so many peoples heads that eventually he just doesn't make sense anymore. It takes too much mental work and countless replays to piece all the metaphors together

I feel like Lupe is kind of the same way
Dumbed down Lupe >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Thot 97
She's had all types of producers who have their names all over big songs... Jazze Pha,Polow Da Don,Pharrell,Dallas Austin,Rodney Jerkins,Dr. Luke,Tricky Stewart etc.... yet she fails to produce big songs.
she shouldve just stuck with jazze pha.
singers that arent strong vocally need to just stick to producers that know their strengths & weaknesses.
its always the same results whenever they stray away. ALWAYS.
cannibus is my man, and arguably a top 10 lyricist ever, but he has no regard for music.
2000 bc is prolly his best album, and i like it, but even with that joint, its like eating a big meaty ass burger with nothing to drink.

lupe came out at the perfect time. i think yall just expect more out of him than what hes worth.
max b getting his props in here. alot of lesser talents running with his chit. but how about another guy that was poppin at that time?
^^^^^^^
YUNG LA. dude shouldve blew but grand hustle pretty much low-balled him like they did young dro. tons of rappers have been riding his wave ever since.
with that said, and since we're on the topic of r&b singers, i think aaliyah was before her time.
she couldve come closer to the success that noobs think that she had, if she came out 10 years later. cuz it was too much competition in her lane in the '90s, and she laid the over-achievement blueprint down for chicks like ciara.
its cuz hes indie.

2000 bc is a banger but I think his later work is even better. The more conscious ones like RTJ, FWTBT, Melatonin Magik and C of tranquility are on a whole nother level when it comes to intellectual food

Damn, this is a good one. The Renaissance was nominated for a Grammy and is sort of a cult classic, though, so I wouldn't say they ALL no showed. I agree with your overall point though.
saigon was the first rapper in mind. to be honest though I dont think he necessarily needed to come out in the 90s.
He was literally a year or two too late. If he coulda dropped during the G-Unit, DBlock, Dipset era he'd be fine but Just Blaze dropped the ball with them label politics. Smh at signing to atlantic.
Another...Freddie Gibbs in my opinion
Grizzly
Home Run Hitter
Wow...I actually remember this video and Iggy Azealia sounds just like this chick
