He’s had a great career with a lot of success but once he released Rolling Papers, I checked out. He has songs I’ve liked since then but I’ll always go back to his mixtapes before any of his albums. I guess Wiz was tired of being an underground rapper and wanted the commercial success. Once Amber Rose came on the scene I knew then that he had completely drank the kool-aid.

This. He still made Black Star, BOBS & the Ecstatic
But he could've been much more recognized & heralded, dude had it all.
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
I used to be into Canibus something heavy in my teens when I was only fukking with that "lyrical spiritual miracle" shyt.
Looking back at it, his discography/output was
Rip The Jacker still banged tho

Boosie the GOAT
Boosie and Webbie man..
They should be ON TOP
Especially Boosie
But they too real and the industry don't want that
Oddly enough the package they sell (gangsta shyt) is what people want now.. but the labels only push the fake Gs

I'm gonna say somebody who has won a Grammy, in a group that sold a few dozen million records, and brought a new sound to the game, which is heard on multiple hits today.
Bizzy Bone. He had that "it" factor to be a solo star, but demons he dealt with prevented him from taking advantage.

he really did have the solo star potential, while krayzie was the best rapper from the group bizzy just had that it factor for sure. Like method man from wu tang, that charisma.
Ain't krayzie like the only one from the group who had a nice solo career? The thug mentality album was dope as hell.
Damn, that Thug Mentality album was
I need to order that joint again. It ain't on streaming sites
I agree with everything you said about Lupe. He’s the most disppointing rap artist for me as well.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
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?

Saw the thread title and clicked in specifically to say Lupe
Damn... Muthafukin FACTS..!!
But i still dont understand why not... incredible lyricist.. swagger. street cred...
hes done had hits and street anthems... wtf else more is there?
Lupe easily. Should've been one of the uncontested goats but fukked it up with Lasers, then got full creative control and still made poppy radio singles. T&Y was dope but it's over, samurai videos and bitterness is all thats left.
