[the cool]

lincoln park

aaron carter

tom greene


josh harnett

clear pepsi

 

[Momentum]

Sun.N.Y., Roscoe P. Coldchain, and that dude who made "In My Projects"

 

[Bugsmoran]

D.O.C.

 

[JustCKing]

Yung Joc- "It's Goin' Down" and "I Know You See It" were huge. I think the album almost sold a million copies. Plus he was a guest on big songs like T-Pain's "Buy You A Drink" and some others.

MIMS- I think this dude had a #1 single with "This Is Why I'm Hot".

Shop Boyz- "Party Like A Rockstar" was huge and then nothing

Lil' Mama- she came out with "Lip Gloss" and then...

Camp lo... Dropped a certified classic then just faded to bolivia. I know they made more music but nothing like uptown.

I like this thread but I don't believe it's best usage of the term "Flash-in-the-Pan rapper" . . it should be rappers that are mediocre-to-decent but just good for a few highlights throughout some verses . .

nah.

'flash-in-the-pan' is basically a term used to describe a brief but big run. the lightning in a bottle syndrome.

DaLenchmob and Das Efx

After J-Dee got locked up it was a wrap. But the timing on Guerillas In The Mist 1st dropping was great.

After Dead Serious Das kinda fell off with nobody really taking them serious anymore, that style that popularized them kinda brought em down quick. Them muthafvckaz came back with a vengeance though on the Hold It Down album but by that time who was really checkin for a Das album......except me I guess

Domino comes to mind also....Ghetto Jam was HUGE on the west coast...don't know what happened to dude after that album.

good picks.

but yo, ive been meaning to ask. above the law: which one in your avi is the one that died?

Coolio owns this thread.

NO WAY. NO HOW.

coolio had 4 years full of hits.

meh, just to clarify.

one-hit wonders and 'rappers that never were' do not qualify.

The above the law member that died was KMG. It's the guy in the left of hillsta's avi.

Lauryn Hill is probably the best answer to this question though.
