Either him or Bathgate. They both reminded me of really bad Hov clones.
Was Red cafe the most generic New York rapper from that era?

Red Cafe was decent. He def wasn't nothing crazy but far from wack
"nothin' generic never took my timbs off"
Its NY rappers 10x wacker than him that got 40 page threads and fanbases on here make that make sense

Yeah, he was super generic and also had one of the worst rapper names of all time.
He was what the brown shirt was in 2K Mypark mode but for NYC rappers

Red Cafe will always have my props for his Sean Bell tribute song
Dude was with Hoo Bangin and Violator Records too.
Did Red Cade’s Virus album ever leak???
Since he was a associate of Fab, I know he got a discount on beats from DURO and Just Blaze

I can't remember a single Red Cafe rhyme, but I remember breh had a weird face. He always looked like he was smelling a fart. One of those ones when you've been eating beef.

Red Cafe has a branding problem. I think if he changed his name he would 100% have been bigger. How bigger, who knows.
Red Cafe may have been short on the networking department as well. He should have collabed with Southern and California rappers more.
Maino was never big but for some reason he's managed to keep himself relevant in New York media and thereby hip hop in general. Truth is, nobody in NY even listens to Maino.

My first memory of Red Cafe was back in 2005 with this song:
I remember it got a few spins or so on 106 and Park, a few spins on Rap City.... nothing too crazy. Maybe he was on TRL or Direct Effect, I have no clue. Or perhaps an odd hour when MTV played music videos non-stop in the morning.
I thought once he appeared on the Coach Carter soundtrack that he'd be that type of rapper. The rapper that can appear on soundtracks to kid-friendly movies. Sanitized of sorts. He even appeared on the Madden soundtracks. Lotta singles, but no albums.
Despite all of that, prominent artists/labels gave him chances. He was affiliated with Violator at first, then Mack 10 and Hoo-Bangin (when he released All Night Long). Of course he had the tapes with Fab & Street Family. He even associated with Akon & then Diddy lol.
I'd say I'm Ill is perhaps one of his biggest songs to date anyways. If not that, this is kinda close.
Decent number of mixtapes, but nothing legendary. No wonder he never released any albums.
