So Hittman was on 10 songs on 2001 but just disappeared from the rap game?

Why?

How does he make a living?

Is he the luckiest non-rapper of all time, or the rapper who blew his opportunity the most?

Maybe he works at Office Depot with Magoo.

I wonder if he and Kendrick ever awkwardly bump into each other.

Not the most interesting rapper, but he sounded good on 2001. You'd think he'd at least have a Ren or Mack 10 career.

lol hittman was dope and dre's main ghost rider on 2001 but dre doesn't know how to make someone "blow up" he's not a a&r. game was sitting on the shelf for a couple years until they threw him in g-unit, 50 already had a huge buzz dre & em co-signinig was the icing on the cake. you forgot about knoc-turnal, joe beast, brooklyn, eve, g.a.g.e., joel ortiz, truth hurts, bishop lamont, stat quo, rakim, slim the mobsta and the list goes on of artist that came and went on aftermath :dead:

If you look at any artist that put out an album on Aftermath, you'll see they have to do a lot of work on their own before they put out an album.

I think that it is smart that Dre doesn't just release albums from artists just based on his production and/or co-sign. It helps artists create a name and a brand for themselves rather than being in Dr. Dre's shadow.

The chemistry between Hittman and Knoc-Turn'al was beautiful. I would have gladly purchased an album with those two trading verses over some decent West Coast production be it Fred Wreck, Battlecat, Hutch, Dre, etc..

Makes me wonder if I still got his unreleased album from aftermath. I listened to it once and forgot all about it.

I remember liking "Forgot About Dre" but then growing Tired of hearing the Song, used to watch the Video until that little Cut of "Last Dayz" came on because it was Piff, back when Napster was still Poppin' and they didn't have a CDQ Version of it. I actually found it recently on that Album he had, Hittmanic Verses which actually wasn't Bad. This niqqa Killed his Verse on Murder Ink.
