With my last two post i realized there have been many of my favorite rappers who spit some hot shit but never really got their shine. So I'm gonna make a little list of people I've been listening for awhile, but who never got the great break they deserved
Starting With those who jut missed my list:
Curt@ins, BLU, Wale & Gemstones: they all spit hot fire but i haven't heard them long enough or enough songs to validate them as consistent, but what they Do drop is pretty tough!!!
SHIT i forgot TYGA, so I'll put him here. He's just full of swagger and great lyrics. He has that presence that a rapper needs and the talent to go with it. AND WHO EVER I FORGOT, SORRY!!!
10. GLC- Slow rhythmic style, and being In Kanye's Crew doesn't hurt too much
9. Kardinal Offishall: Gained a little of exposure with songs like Set it Offishall, Numba 1 and Gimme Some, but the Canadian rapper shows there was rap up there a little before Drake
8. Jae Millz: He is best known for his appearance on making the band (where he murdered ness), but the Harlem rapper has been on his grind for he longest killing freestyles and mixtapes alike. Hopefully Young Money can get him Shine.
7. Mad Skillz: The man best known for his yearly rap ups has been killing the streets for quite some time now, but the record labels are showing him NOOOO love.
6. 88-Keys: this guy is just extraordinary. he raps produces and has one of the best polo collections since Ralph Lauren. But it seems his eclectic style just isn't making a great impression just yet, but in time hopefully he's recognized for his greatness.
Rest After the Jump!!!
5. Consequence: The cousin of Q-Tip shows that sometimes it does tun in the family. Cons is just super smooth on the tracks and the subject matter is actually worth speaking about!!!! Be on look out for his album coming soon!!!
4. Curren$y: I feel the worst for the Hot Spitta, because he was down with Young Money right when it was blowing up, and surprisingly he got dropped (he was even on No Limit when they were hot too!!). The dude has immaculate flow and he is o freaking RAW!!!! I'd invest heavy chips on dude.
3. Chromeo: One of the best duo's ever presented, has to be the electronic Dave-1 and P-Thug who are known collectively as Chromeo. There music is mad funky and Dave-1 is a great singer, it's kind of music makes you want to get up and dance. Defiantly worth a listen to switch up your playlist.
2. Cassidy: he did get a little bit of fame when he was down with Swizz Beats Full Surface, but not the kind he needed. This dude has some of the best punchlines ever, and has proclaimed himself the originator of the punchline flow. AND I BELIEVE HIM!!! He has shown his diversity by being able to make hit singles and lyrical content too. Get on his mixtape shit
1. JR Writer: Finally I've made it to one of my favorite artist for like the last 5 years, JR motherfucking WRITER. He is just pure piffery, his music is just great. He doesn't do mainstream stuff, but he kills the underground and mixtape scene. His consistency second to none and he deserves at least a little glimmer of shine!!!
