What Are Your Top 5 Saddest Moments In Hip Hop

[Prince.Skeletor]

1) What happened to DMX, not personally but musically. And of course the personal affected the music but let's keep it about music here.

2) Redman not having the proper backing. He was/is a great hip hop artist both lyrically and can make bangers.

3) Busta Rhymes & Papoose breaking up. They teamed up for a while and made super music together. Lost opportunity there.

4) 50 Cent & Game, same reason as #3

5) a-Team breaking up

The W being the last cohesive Wu Lp.

Killah Priest and Hell Razah beef.

Edit - also, it was sad when Pun died, but the "It's So Hard" video
really hit me in the chest.

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

- Big getting murdered for essentially nothing
- Pac's memory being desecrated these past 3 years
- Nas not releasing a top to bottom good album after '04
- RZA's flood meaning the OG Tical, Cure and Deck albums getting lost
- fugazi 'rappers' like bhad bhabie, post malone, pump, dikkie etc being aloud to live and prosper in hip hop
