Where's Bishop Lamont!?

[MercuryHayes]

Mid 2000s was arguably one of the WORST ERAS IN MUSIC..especially hip hop

I feel like theres plenty artists from the mid 2000s who were 5-8 years too EARLY and he's one of them. Being a fan of less west coast music back then, he was one of the few who i rocked with.

Theres a lot of elements to him that were lacking from a "going next level" vibe but he definitely was one of the realest ones to me.

Why didn't he blow?

 

[N.J.stan]

Good question. The Layover was dope

 

[Harry B]

The only song I remember from breh, that Aftermath sound

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Dude is real generic. Should have been a ghostwriter. He got tired of waiting on Dre leaked some shyt and got tossed to the aftermath bushes.

 

[GzUp]

Status quo?

 

[Da King]

Stupid nikka got impatient and leaked this track which ended up killing this career before ever starting

 

[SirBiatch]

Convince me that Bishop Lamont wasn't more than trash

 

[Big Mel]

He got Dr Dre to shout out Black Milk. those Detroit/LA relationships could have been the bedrock to some serious thangs. BUT, nikkas bein nikkas from the D & LA such is life.

Convince me that Bishop Lamont wasn't more than trash

Duke was dope as hell in my opinion, flow was always on point, could go from punchline rap to story telling to conscious shyt and had an amazing ear for beats too. His 3 mixtapes while he was with Aftermath were all on point, projects you could play from front to back.

 

[Animal House]

Caltroit was too hard matter of its a personal classic


Bishop>>>> Kendrick

Yea he leaked tracks which is a no no with Dre. I also heard he wasn't working hard in the studio - he did lots of songs but didn't show growth, which is what Dre wants to see.

I agree he sounde like a ghostwriter to me
