How come these rappers never blew up?

[L.Kizzle]

-Mic Geronimo
-Shyheim
-AZ
-Mac Mall
-B-Legit
-Tela

[~primetime~]

Familiar with all except B-Legit and Mic Geronimo.

At some point in time I liked the other 4 to some degree...Shyheim was like a young child version of Method Man

Mack Mall and Tela were the shit...they just weren't main stream types

AZ, I almost feel like he did 'blow up'

[BigBoss]

Because ISIS didn't push the button

[L.Kizzle]

Boys sleeping on B Legit and Mic.

[kurple]

Also he is very boring
:facepalm

[BasedTom]

they weren't in boston

[CAstill]

You should know why on Bela and Mac. The yay stay on that independent hustle. Bela has one of the best rap voices of all time. I love his verses on 40's 43

[Knicks101]

they weren't in boston

What's the opposite of "too soon"?

[christian1923]

they should take some advice from Young Thugger

[KNOW1EDGE]

AZ and Shyheim were both dope.

I always wondered why Ras Kass never blew up, probably because he is ugly AF, but he is also lyrical and smart af.

-Mic Geronimo
-Shyheim

-Mac Mall
-B-Legit

AZ is a whole tier above the rest on the list in terms of popularity and lyrical content IMO, but he should have gotten more recognition doe

[TheReal Kendall]

Only dude I know from the list is Tela and he was pretty big down here in Bama when I was younger.

I just googled Shyheim and I know him from the movies "In too Deep" and "Original Gangstas". Didn't know he was a rapper until now. Also it says he went to prison too.

[Bless Mathews]

If you over 30 and don't know all them rappers, stick to n sync.

My goodness.

AZ is sick..... No crossover success.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKRcCyAOHWk

Shyheim the kid came across as a gimmic. Then became an actor and went to jail.

Blegit had his own success Bay Area Cali success.

Mac Mall & Tela yuck for me.

Tela was dat dude brah.
And how you like B-Legit but did Mac Mall?
Heim wasn't no gimmick.

B-Legits the Hemp Museum, one of the dopest albums ever. Like someone said earlier, he has the perfect voice for rapping.

Like when Method Man had a song called Method Man or Slim Shady had a song called slim Shady.

It works with "My Name is D-Nice" though.

But this real person has an alter ego like a comic book character.

This real person doesn't use his real name. How real can you be when you're named after a chocolate candy?

:biggums:

Nah I don't think that's it. I'm thinking he's never been one to conform to what record labels ask of him. Or he's lazy.

"My album's Flo Jo's heart. Watch it blow up."


But that's never been the case :lol
