Most Tragic Figure In Rap Music History?

[Jerz-2]

Lil Kim - Black girl lost...self-esteem in the toilet, she used to be a cutey and now looks like Ms. Potato Head...

DMX - arguably one of the most passionate rappers of all time, with the album run he had and the movies, he could have solidified himself on some Sean Carter shyt a LONG time ago, if not for that crack demon....

Big Pun - arguably on his way to being one of THE premier lyricists in the game, his appeal was reaching superstar status before he died...son just couldn't beat that weight issue...

ODB - one of the more iconic figures, if only for all his misfortunes and "crazy deeds" (e.g., getting welfare in limo on MTV, interrupting the Grammys)...haunted by drug addiction...

Ras Kass - arguably one of the best PURE lyricists of all time, reduced to a parody by one ill-advised YouTube video...no further explanation necessary...

Not sure if I can pick one. Its between Kim, DMX, and ODB tho.

 

[Ziggiy]

[Big Mel]

Nas.

 

[Roberto Dinero]

All of em really.

Rass Kass is the one who didn't lose the most. He's still healthy and living he might not be taken seriously as a rapper any more but his life doasen't suck as much as the others.

I voted for DMX tho. That crack really is a motherf*cker.

Canibus.

viewed at one time as the Hip Hop messiah. this dude was a problem and arguably revolutionized the whole battle rhymes style. but then the album dropped and it was all downhill from there...

I'd say Lil Wayne.

Grew up being molested as a child, and believed kissing men was acceptable. Was forced to commit sexual acts in front of his so-called father, and tried to laugh about it as an adult, but you can hear the discomfort in the room. He had to turn to drugs to numb the pain of being sexually abused as a child. It must suck to know your mother pimped you. Now he is living through a second childhood.

 

[Coach Gully]

DMX no doubt.

 

[ZEB WALTON]
