Everytime I hear Mos Respiration verse, it makes me weep at what he could have been:wow:

...thank GAWD For Blackstar and BOBS, tho:blessed:

Don't get me started on Tical, LBoogie, Starang Wondah, Rockness Monstah, and Saigon:mjcry:

Mainly because i always felt he could have done so much more. But instead he got lured into the hollywood limelight

That was supposed to be my future GOAT



Right after Below the Heavens, I saw him performing at Rock the Bells. I remember thinking how talented this cat was and was expecting him to kill it. He brings out some short cat who at the time was unknown to me and this cat RIPPED it. Meanwhile, Blu looked tired and uninspired. The short cat was Fashawn, Blu pretty much died that day in my book.

Agreed. In her prime you couldn't even compare her to other female MC's because she was shyttin in dudes. She really lost an opportunity to be a top 5 of all time female MC.

Nah man...Digga is EASILY a top-5 female MC. EASILY.

I bought that last album she put out also, and she still spittin'. Her talent is not being wasted...
it just that it isn't being noticed much, either. I think that's something other than this topic, doe.

Big Krit. If only he came out in 2002 he would be on almost every Ludacris and ATL album.

I've heard others say this, but do y'all not know he was an actor long before he was a rapper?

He was essentially rapping for fun...and imo I think that's what was magnetic (ptp) about him.
