4 albums in 10 years is kinda solid bro...

Aside from Mighty Mos, I agree with your list. Mos is far from JUST a rapper, so you gotta give him that much space to do other things. He's a pretty goodactor and entertainer in general. He hosts Def Poetry as well. So I'd say he's carved out a nice lil niche. and when he does touch the mic, he blessesit

I hear you, but as far as waste of potential goes, you can't tell me you popped in 'A New Danger' or 'Tru Magic' and said "this dudeMos is fulfilling his potential"

Have you heard The Love Below? It's solid.

I never said that him singing was a bad thing. I agree, The Love Below was a good album. I bought it.

I'm just saying that he could have been concocting some classic rap tracks during that time. Not hating the guy's singing.

That was 6 years ago now, reality is he doesn't do %@** anymore either. And I highly doubt they even put any work out this year. You picking andchoosing. I just don't see why you singled out Em, when there were a lot of other older artists you cold throw in that mix.

Lupe?!!

Wow :smh

The fact that most don't understand his lyrics does not mean he didn't fulfill his potential, it just means that he went past it.

had the making of being top 5 but him going to jail put his career in neutral

Dude had lyrics for days but he just couldn't get the right production. Him and Dr Dre clearly should have gotten together to make some magic

Its had to follow up a classic album like OB4CL, dude this guy got some of the cheapest producers money could buy. Pete Rock blessed him with a dope track butwhy couldn't he hire Premier,Easy Mo Dee,The Beatminerz, Buckwild,Diamond D, and even better RZA

I don't see how clipse aint fulfilling their potential...They have their own clothing line, label imprint and are constantly putting our criticallyacclaimed quality street music...and they are still spitting wit the best of them...
I also don't know how you can criticize Lupe for being to weird then say Mos Def isnt a waste of potential...That N' is just as wierd as Lupe...expecthe hasent made a quality song in about 10 years (I don't want to hear nothing about a movie career because I haven't seen him in one in a good 4 yearsnow)...Plus that N' got like 6 kids so its not like he is cakeing like that...

when it comes to wasted potential how about Prodigy? that N' was once a top 15 rapper...now he's locked up and it sounds like he be talking on beats...
