T.I
I'm from the UK, everyone knows him, he's super popular worldwide, but he just doesn't get that mention today as one of the goats
You usually see Jayz, Nas, Kanye, Em
I think T.I is up there
Keef but he don’t really care about fame. He just about him and his niggas.
being a stan of his through that time was so frustrating cause he could've easily been one of the more famous rappers if he woulda kept making Finally Rich type music (even past that era he had a mixtape with Thug, Songs with Kanye, and a rumoured track with Drake that he just lost)
But looking back it was so goat how he just completely stepped away from the mainstream and did whatever he wanted to do musically
Jay Electronica (his own fault tbh for not releasing Act 2 when he shouldve)
Kate Bush
Janelle Monae
Charli XCX
Lupe...
The original planned 3 disc album LUPEND after The Cool would’ve made him a platinum selling artist....
He also turned down some major offers after he left Atlantic
Devante Swing by far
J. Holiday really got completely forgotten and it's sad
his songs are very of their time tho so maybe it makes sense
young thug
He has hits and all but everyone knows Jeremih should be wayyyy bigger
Those wounds are self inflicted tho
threw it all away for an entanglement
Ya Boy (dude was the best kept secret on the west in 2005/2006 after game. Had the Dre cosign
Omar Cruz (same as above, dude had crazy mixtapes, was a latino lyrical madness)
Jay Rock ( was already blowing up before Kendrick, K-Dot) and was the one TDE was hoping for in that New West movement around 06, 07) First album dropped way to late what made his buzz go away for most part
Bishop Lamont (Man ... he was the ONE one aftermath man. Dude had such a buzz and got the crazy beats from DRE and DRE’s inhouse producers (Focus, Khalil and more). Check the mixtapes man. But DRE shelved the album and buzz went away.
Papoose ( Same as above, Buzz was really big with also crazy tapes , but First album took to long due to label issues and s*** and buzz was gone)
Juelz Santana
Cole (he should have been bigger than Kendrick)
Wale
Big Krit (slightly. Not a superstar but at least a couple of gold albums)
Lupe Fiasco
cosign
Jay Electronica (his own fault tbh for not releasing Act 2 when he shouldve)
Kate Bush
Janelle Monae
Charli XCX
Janelle Monae is still pretty famous but I feel u bc its not really for her music
But I feel like her next album will be her biggest
@PNWlitty @Teal_ do you guys agree?
He had super big run in like 06-08, so he had his moment. I just think nowadays his reputation is tanked, therefore knocking his status down. Shame though cuz nowadays he's only selling like 23k fw...even though he still makes solid music and blends in well with the modern scene
Lol what? Wayne has one of the biggest runs ever.
Tbh i get what he’s saying.
Wayne rap skills took a nosedive after he got out of prison and wouldnt bounce back till years later
If wayne kept rappin like he did pre prison he doesnt become a joke which means Birdman doesnt hold C5 hostage for 5 years(still did very well).

Hope so. I think Dirty Computer was definitely overlooked in the mainstream when it shouldve gotten as much recognition as an album like Lemonade or Anti

I definitely agree Dirty Computer was a great album
It might seem weird timing but I feel like Janelle Monae is gonna be an A List celeb this decade
