BGOL: What Music Artist Failed but YOU thought would be a Huge Success...

[KingAddies]

JS
India Arie - I know she was everywhere for a hot minute but radio abandoned here.
3x Dope - they got crazy spins but I was hoping they were going to be Philly's Heavy D. and the Boyz
Finnesse & Synquis
Def Jef/Red Head Kingpin/Kwame/Black Sheep/Ed OG - I feel they could have been the antithesis to the gangsta rap era and maybe music would be slightly different today.

Aaron Hill wasn't a huge succes

 

[playahaitian]

Aaron Hill wasn't a huge succes

not as a solo really...

and remember this guy kinda took his style and ran with it...

 

[Uncontainable_Spirit]

I would have bet money this cat would blow up.

If i like em....i all ready know they aint gonna blow



And he didnt fail

Black radio is responsible for the stagnancy.

I posed a question on Michael Baisdens FB page and was booted.

The question was:

Why has black radio put the same songs in rotation over the past 20 years?

Like each artist act is limited to certain songs being played even if they have
some hot B sides...they will get no light on the radio...just the same singles.

The question was sparked after he posted Love Roller Coaster.

I posted Ohio Players Ecstacy



Which i have never heard on black radio.

Maybe cause the format isnt verse chorus verse chorus
like everything else on the radio.

it must make him an angry man to see the dude who couldn't wipe your ass, as your backup (mayer) become a mega star, using your style, cadence basically everything

This song came out almost 10 years ago but the vid is relatively recent. What the hell did this cat do during that gap?

[Bald_Bear]

Kevin Gates.... Without them damn face tatts be would be as big as drake....

 

[playahaitian]

I just downloaded his first album a few days ago.

Dude had major talent, but like someone mentioned, he was trying to hard to be another Prince.

there was a time HE was supposed to be the NEXT Prince.

 

[playahaitian]

Throwback

 

[Mt. Yukon]

I thought those titties would've put her over the top.

Hell yeah!!! Her first joint was hot. Last I heard she and Bahamadia were on Goodvibe and had albums coming out... That was back in like 02-03. Never heard from either of them since.

 

[WattDogs]

My choices:

Diana King


Should have blew just from this song. I still wonder what happened.

and

Trey Lorenz


Had the backing of Mariah Carey & was basically Brian McKnight before Brian McKnight. Just was about 5 years too early...

Co sign all that.

 

[roots69]

Stalley, I thought he was going to be on kendrick lamar level after Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music)..

 

[Tiger_Hood]

Back in ‘07 I thought Lil Boosie was going to be the next T.I!

 

[Bumpee]

 

[LennyNero1972]

Interesting thread but the truth is its the nature of the business for every hit there are tons of misfires, so many 1 hit wonders out there.

 

[playahaitian]

Stalley, I thought he was going to be on kendrick lamar level after Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music)..

^^^^^

agreed!

 

[playahaitian]

Back in ‘07 I thought Lil Boosie was going to be the next T.I!

that's a tricky one

in some circles Boosie gets Tupac like love

 

[TENT]

I know dude. He is a very good dude. Been singing forever. I mean forever.

This song came out almost 10 years ago but the vid is relatively recent. What the hell did this cat do during that gap?

 

[God-Of-War-420]

What ever happened to Corrine Bailey Rae, know she faced a some tragedy but I always thought she would be massive

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

I know this was probably mentioned already ..

But I was just listening to that song that goes

I been doing my own thing....

Groove theory or some shit..

Well that cutie went solo.

And I thought she'd be much bigger with a few bangas under her belt..

 

[BrownTurd]

Was HE trying to be another Prince, or was the label trying to MAKE HIM another Prince. Like they tried to make Dru Hill another Jodeci telling them to steal K-Ci's riff (I'm sorry, I said that and thought of the Five Heartbeats)

This is false about dru hill. Dru Hill was a fan of Jodeci and KC was Sisqo’s idol growing up.
