Dead End
Rican B*stard
There's been a few that I was really rooting for, for whatever reason, whose career and output ended up being disappointing.
Saigon - for a minute there it really seemed like he was gonna blow. The material was there, he was putting out some good sh*t. There was buzz around his name. But if I remember correctly, issues with Atlantic pretty much shelved his album for years and he missed his time. His post-TGSNT stuff isn't that great IMO. Maybe I need to check it again, but it just seemed lazier and without urgency. Didn't do nuthin for me.
Jay Electronica - don't really need to say nothing here. He been out since Bush II was president and still hasn't put out an album.
The Lady of Rage - I don't understand why she managed to only put out one album, right when Death Row was imploding. It got really no promotion and I think it's mostly been forgotten.
L.E.P. Bogus Boys - they disappeared after that Green Lantern mixtape. Weren't they signed to Interscope? Did they break up?
There's a bunch more but these are the ones I think of straight away.
