Was Red cafe the most generic New York rapper from that era?

[NZA]

horrible name

 

[Playaz Eyez]

I liked about 4 Red Cafe songs and his main adlib. I know exactly who he is when he’s on a track, but he’s definitely pretty generic.

Dude is awful. Generic rapper , generic beats, etc.

Nygga tried working with everybody and couldn’t make it work

 

[Freshology]

I for sure thought desert storm was the next to blow back then.... It seemed DJ clue, Skane Dolla, and Duro we're trying to follow the rocafella model. And they had a promising roster: Fabolous, Joe Budden, Red Cafe, Ransom, Stack Bundles, Freck Billionaire, Paul Cain, DJ Envy.... The wheat eventually got separated from the chaff though

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

I thought this nikka had next

 

[Newark88]

He had some joints I fooled with like I’m Ill and that other song that sampled Anita Baker

 

[JoelB]

He was trash, this my shyt tho

 

[MicIsGod]

That joint from nba live

 

[FreshAIG]

He had some hits though lol but I never liked son

 

[Ethnic Cleansing]

He was one of those names I seen everywhere during the download/mixtape days but never clicked.

He was in the same boat as Billy Bathgate, Paul Cain (outside of a Fab feature), Saigon, and the Dipset B team

Like they could’ve had the holy grail and i would’ve never knew

 

[Regular_P]

He'd be top five today, no bully.

 

[PIFF101]

Red Cafe was on mixtapes from NY tryin to get put on. Clue shyt Desert Storm

 

[Anerdyblackguy]

I liked Red cafe, he was the hottest nikka in the hood

 

[Ozymandeas]

This was my shyt back in the day
