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

[noumena]

Chip Tha Ripper or King Chip now.

 

[PoPimp84]

As far as female mc's, Shawna. She could spit and that booty...

 

[O.Red]

Breh when BBB dropped I thought he caught second wind & prob should be wearing king of NY mainstream wise. Then these fools fail to drop start it up as a single. Don't deserve had a great reception imo. At that point tho all was lost

Shoulda been Beamer/Start it up/Don't Deserve You/Joint with Eminem

Fast toward to 2013 he drop mixtape of year contender but no visual & no promo

Forgot that BBB and Start it up came out in the same year

What were these nikkas doing

[Neil McCauley]

Papoose, I was young at the time and this dude Kay Slay was hyping him like

Also Ya Boy (was signed to BWS at one point I think )

and I remember that dude Reed Dollaz having millions of (legit) views on his videos when Youtube was new back in 2006, I was skeptical if he could craft an actual song rather than battling and I guess he couldn't

 

[Bankroll]

Papoose. That dude has killer bars even up until now while he is still killing it underground. He had mad potential to make to the big leagues back in the mid-2000s.

 

[H. Selassie]

Nipsey Hussle can't make a single to save his life

Bruh..I be jammin Crenshaw and Mailbox Money on a regular basis wondering why is this guy not a bigger artist.

You might be right tho. Cuz is 10 times the rapper that YG is but YG had "My nikka"

 

[Bankroll]

YO, word up to that! those two mixtapes were fire fr. They were dope af, no doubt. I'd say Nipsey is still big in the independent scene. He has sure garnished a mass following independently no doubt about that.

 

[CoriGunz11]

Childish Gambino, Saigon

 

[N*E*R*D]

Chamillionaire(Had a spark when he started...but that ninja just vanished )
Killer Mike (found his niche, but coming from the outkast lineage I thought he would be bigger)
Joe Budden (coming off various dope mixtape verses I thought he was about to be right there with Fabolous...sadly it was a wrap mainstream wise after his debut)

 

[CoriGunz11]

As far as female mc's, Shawna. She could spit and that booty...

GoodDigger was her song but she didn't take it still Kaynes biggest hit to date

 

[N*E*R*D]

Big K.R.I.T. will be on this list soon

Reed got knocked out on camera...career over...i would say MIMs tho...

Saigon.

I'm still trying to figure out why dude never blew up.
