Rappers you thought would be big that didn't quite make it

[Love Sosa]

The first time I heard Dipset Anthem, I thought Juelz had next Then he dropped Mic Check and I REALLY thought he had next. Then shyt kinda went slow after that album, which had some good singles. Then I thought the tape him and Wayne were supposed to do would catapult him....nope.

I thought Papoose would bring lyricism back to mainstream rap

I thought B.O.B. would be where Drake is now.

I also thought Rhymefest would be pretty big when I saw Kanye hype him up a lot back in the day.

Roscoe Dash should be a lot bigger than he his

B.O.B. Is a good shout. Home is NICE on the Mic and he really had the machine behind him after that debut album. Homie even had Taylor Swift on Strange Clouds and that shyt didn't pop, whereas Drake had Take Care and well it was game over from there.

I fukked with Asher Roth heavy too I loved his Debut LP.

"Big" how? (No homo) like platinum sales? Or just more notoriety?

 

[Kyle C. Barker]

Rhymefest definitely had the credentials to big

Pastor Troy...he didn't fail or anything, but I expected him to take over the south back then

Mainly notoriety, but it depends on the context of whoever you're saying.

It's not like B.O.B. or Juelz Santana did bad for themselves, I just thought they would be "the guy" at points

He was on his way. He had a huge buzz with his mixtapes, and his album had smash singles like Nothin On You and Airplanes, but after that idk what happened. He's had songs that did well in clubs like headband, Strange Clouds, etc but I really did think he would be bigger than Drake back then

Hispanic rappers never get there fair shake. If Kanye west or Eminem were Hispanic they'd be local nobodies. I know people from my city way better then them that will NEVER pop cuz the world hates Hispanics
