What Was The Most Wasted Rap Talent Ever In Hip Hop?
- Thread starter The Evil Genius
- Start date
I would say Snoop Dogg, because even though he has become a world renowned celebrity (not rapper) and a very successful promoter of himself, he never lived up to the potential of Doggy Style. It was probably the best debut ever, and he's never even come close to half of that quality on anything since.
Without a doubt Natas and Esham are the best rappers that hardly anyone knows about. They been killing it for like 20 years. They've had some success, but they never achieved the success they deserve. My mayne Esham is still spitting that wicket though. Stay up E, maybe some day you'll be recognized by hip hop heads as one of the best rapper/producers to ever bless the mic.
