Biggest waste of talent in rap history?

[Art Barr]

ali vegas. he was supposed to be the nas to fab's jay. clue drew a hard line & he never recovered.

Fab is originally a mase clone with a higher technical aptitude, breh.
Now, fab is a swag rapper with offkey deliveries and above average rhymes for a swag rapper.

lloyd banks if he was a solo artist and just by himself and not under nobody's arms he would have become the next jay-z because lyrically do is insanely good.

Idk The hype behind Jay Elec

All I know is that there are artists who do it for the money, and others who do it for the love. But there are many established artists who I thought were gonna be way bigger than they already are.

Juelz Santana
Lloyd Banks
Saigon
Method Man
Kurupt
Cuban Link
Max B

I feel like the music industry stopped fukking with Latinos after Big Pun blew up and passed away. Kind of like saying eh you guys can have this. And thats it. I'm probably just salty Big Pun didnt live long enough to have a big discography.

Also mad Big L wasnt blessed with a longer life. He was gonna make lyrical rap dope and accessible. Plus I feel like he would have transitioned into battle rap.

Mos Def was just content with what he achieved and had at the time. I put him right beside Common under the underrated rappers catalog.

LORD HAVE MERCY

Is the single greatest waste of talent.
Although, he supposedly did waste his talent cause culturally he was not pleased with the original direction of flipmode.
Which, I kinda agree with and imo, it did hurt flipmode's draw/market saturation.
Yet, I also feel if he went through with whatever it was that made him feel he was compromising.
That It would have pigeonholed lord have mercy.

Lord have mercy was the last posse cut feature rapper.
to spit once and be arguably one of the most skilled in rap off one feature/posse cut like:

K solo
Az

That distinction should be given to DMX...X was killin so many nikkas underground they made him go last till he dropped his 1st album..

Not his fault, admin issues I believe.
Plus, was never seen as a large enough draw from his label.
for his label to authenticate giving large marketing suppprt, too.
