Whose Rap career has disappointed you the most?

[Ze Pequeno]

Lupe was supposed to be what Kendrick is today. The Cool is arguably one of the greatest sophomore albums of all time..... Then he dropped Lasers and haven't been the same since (fukk Atlantic)

I coulda swore Ab Soul had next. Control System is an amazing body of work. Before Good Kid soulo had the best album on TDE.
It mighta been a fluke because everything he dropped since has been trash.

Who yall got?

 

[Pop123]

AZ, easy. He was madd cool, he was nice, girls liked him, he could make some good ass songs, etc... I don't get why he didn't prosper more. He was like the conscious man's Jay-z. Does he even tour?

 

[JMD]

Crooked I...didn’t help that he was on Death Row at a time when the label was dead

 

[Yehuda]

Jay Rock.

 

[Columbo]

Mase wasted alotta potential. Everytime he came back he dropped heat, only to quickly disappear again

he wasnt a disappointment to me. his quality of work was high level, he just didnt get as big as he could have been.

I have to think about this. One guy that I liked was Dave East, I thought he had potential but his music is all over the place. I think if he wouldve worked on establishing a good niche base he would be very solid rather than inconsistent.

checking out your avi.....I was really disappointed in HRSMN. Was so excited for that group. Canibus was also a commercial disappointment to me. He definitely couldve been bigger.

The Firm album disappointments as well as Nas distancing himself adversely affected the trajectory of other artists.

AZ, Nature, and Half-A-Mil (even though Half benefitted, his career could have been bigger)

I was a Tragedy Khadafi stan but the delay and shelving of Against All Odds (a personal classic) pretty much destroyed his chance of being a bigger star. Back then, with War Report and AAO he was putting out some serious NY goon music.

if he had some quality control and coordination dude could be one of the biggest stars now

also kurupt

 

[DANJ!]

Probably Canibus...

Dude is the epitome of "we were all rooting for you!"

And that's OK, I got over that 20 years ago when he dropped that wack-ass album.

But the fact he never stopped embarrassing himself even after that... it's like it kept gettin' worse...

That strange-ass Eminem Stan concept album shyt he did... then the album cover he had where he's wearin' a cricket uniform ... then that battle with Dizaster

 

[Damnshow]

canibus

he was killing it in freestyles, but never made a dope album, and that L to a fukkin eminem wannabe terrorist looking dizaster is one of the biggest L's ever in rap history
