Mos Def. He'd be the best of the half rappers and singers right now. Hed put nikkas like Kid Ink and Lil Durk to shame
Rappers who came out during the wrong time periods
- Thread starter TLR Is Mental Poison
- Start date
G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman
Logic Is Absent Wherever Hate Is Present
He has the wrong content for this generation.
I wanna say Gibbs and Roc Marciano, but the fact that they came out throwback while this new kid wave was going on just made them stand out more. If they would have came out when their brand of thuggery was popping, they'd prolly be generic.

You do have a point. He came out in that doobie wrap and incense neo soul era
Chubb Rock was way ahead of his time...WAY ahead. First rapper I knew with a Master's Degree, was highly articulate, had an extensive vocabulary...
If you played either "Treat Me Rite" or "Robocop" right now, it would lyrically shyt on alot of these fools calling themselves rappers nowadays.

Heltah Skeltah was way underrated. Nocturnal is a classic
I REALLY think they could have been "OutKast" famous, real talk. Them dudes can spit, got jokes, make good songs....never understood why the world slept on them.
They're easily my favorite duo.

For The People and the fact they stopped fukking with the Beatminerz really fukked up the Bootcamp.

Strangely, I'm thinking about Meth. Just a matter of timing in the Wu rank, I think he had all the ingrédients to take over the whole game but coming out first solo out the Wu maybe had too high expectations, and we know about the flood etc...and Rza wasn't in that zone yet...now in no way Tical isn't dope, and I understand why he came out first, but a Meth solo a lil later like between Liquid Swords and OB4CL when they were all more polished and Rza was in another stratosphere? Maybe he just destroys the whole game and he's in the BIG/Jay/Nas discussion

not to derail the thread but why did Bootcamp go that direction with For The People? I was in France so I just bought the album without any info really and was crazily disappointed...why they stop working with the Beatminerz?

I think Meth fell victim to the Wu really. Because RZA wanted them to wait till after Forever dropped he couldn't capitalize on his first album. He had one of the biggest singles ever on Tical

From what I understand they didn't wanna be pigeonholed by that sound. They wanted to branch out and use more live instrumentation which doesn't make sense becuz they were just on the verge of blowing up and it messed up all their momentum
I love that Ruck has reinvented himself and found new life, but Rock could still thrive in current climate.
