Are there any rappers you didn't expect to blow up, but they've become one of today's top artists?

  • Mine is T.I., I remember the very first time I seen or even heard of him- Bonecrusher's "Never Scared". I had never heard of I'm Serious, all I thought was "This is one skinny, country dude" lol. Then Trap Muzik came around and I seen the video for "24's", once again I thought it was a cool song, but nothin special. Fastforward to today and here he is... one of the most popular in the industry. Granted he's got other sh*ts goin down but still... anybody else?


  • 50..when I first heard him on the mad rapper track dissin the whole industry back in the 90's I thought he would blow up as in KaBoom. He put out all kinds of mixtapes and tried to get recognized by startin beef to get his name out there. Then Em signed him and now he owns vitamin water and ****...wheres the justice?


  • Lil Wayne. I actually liked so of his earlier stuff and thought he was pretty decent. Never thought he would get as big as he is writing worse music.


  • T.I.

    Lil wayne wit lyrics like dat damm idk how he blew up dat quick


  • No one new with crazy skills blow up anymore.

    EDIT: I know what *YOU'RE* saying, but *I'M* saying that right now *I AM* expecting every rapper with sub par skills to blow up. It's the reality of the current game.


  • In bad ways yes, all the bubblegum rappers, i ant goin to name them but we all know.

    In otherwisw good rappers i never asumed Kanye would, he is starting to sing and stuff but his producing skills have got him far.


  • That was funny just before i read this question i thought T.I then i clicked on it and you put T.I aswell!


  • Don't have an answer but... Gotta love the *stars* and CAPS!


  • not really, umm......no, nobody really..


  • I agree with T.I up until Big Things Poppin he wasnt that Huge.

    Lil Wayne- He was in the Back That Thang Up and all he said was Drop it like its Hot like a thousand times. ( Well not one of the top but popularity)

    Plies- I thought Shawty would be a one-hit wonder


  • i love t.i he so self conscious.
    and lil wayne been around for a while so yea
    but one dude i thought would never be and really shouldn't be successful is soulja boy i mean his songs are hilarius no doubt and they are fun to dance to but its just not real music.


  • i don't like him, but rick ross actually


  • so many. just every rap artist these days
