Whose Rap career has disappointed you the most?

[frush11]

Right now

Nick Grant

Needs to get with better producers before its too late.

 

[swerve]

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.

Some trivia from AAO, Sha money XL produced the "Bing Monster" track which featured Ja Rule. Later Sha Money became President of G-Unit Records

Schoolboy Q - he hasn't disappointed me as an artist at all - dude is actually a very good rapper when he wants to spit bars, he also effortlessly can be "lighter" for party/fun songs. he has killed all his guest spots, dude has charisma, makes great music, etc. but the mainstream is sleeping on him and i don't know why. he's easily better than a nikka like big sean, maybe he needs more generic production? more features with bigger names? i dont know

He legit dropped the best album on TDE

 

[Plap Star]

Webbie....what he is now compared to what he use to be....

but that's the savage life for ya

 

[BO BARON]

Gunplay

 

[old boy]

this is gonna sound strange but lauryn hill

she was my female nas. i mean, sometimes i wondered if anybody male or female could go bar for bar with l boogie. so she drops a classic where she mostly sings and then disappears. still hurts, the game needed her lyricism

 

[BigL187]

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

 

[jerzboy]

A lot o the rappers named in this thread did what I expected them to do. Some dudes are just nice and will stay niche and dominate their field.

As far as mainstream appeal, Julez. Dude had everything needed to carry the torch for nyc.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Lupe man

What he lacked lyrically on F&L by comparison to where he is now, he made up for with beautiful music. Now he has otherworldly lyrics but the music is so trash its unbelievable.

Where is Rich Boy?!!

 

[prophecypro]

Saigon
Lupe Fiasco

 

[King Poetic]

Ras Kass

bad label deal fukked up his shine

 

[Cadillac]

Lupe was supposed to be what Kendrick is today.

yall Kendrick stans man

Lupe man

What he lacked lyrically on F&L by comparison to where he is now, he made up for with beautiful music. Now he has otherworldly lyrics but the music is so trash its unbelievable.

Where is Rich Boy?!!

Stop, T&Y is just as good as F&L

 

[who killin it?]

Monch: has the lyrics,flow, rhyme schemes, and concepts that are top 10. Quality albums, just not enough output.

Internal Affairs was such a dope album.

that Godzilla lawsuit fukked him over pretty bad for a while

 

[SouljaVoy]

Yung LA He had so much potential.

 

[who killin it?]

Bishop Lamont at the time


Looking back now his career probably panned out exactly how it was supposed to

I fukked with that Confessional tape heavy. He seemed like Dre’s next protege after Game... but then what the fukk happened? Dre got pissed over that Grow Up track?
