5 Artists That Should Have Blown Up, But Didn\u2019t<\/span> by: Jamie Robinson @The_Mr_TBT<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In the history of hip hop, there are so many \u201cwhatever happened to\u2026?\u201d stories. You remember that debut album that blew you away but the artist was never heard from again. Was it the record sales? Was it lack of promotion? Was it Yo! MTV Raps not playing their follow up? Everyone\u2019s story is different (unless you were with Bad Boy), but the results were always the same. Here are five acts that should have been legendary, but circumstances beyond their control have left you wondering where they are today. <\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Redhead Kingpin \u2013 1989 brought us A Shade of Red. The New Jack Swing era was in full effect, and the Redhead one and DJ Wildstyle were at the top of their game. Do The Right Thing (the song, not the Spike Lee Joint) hit the television, the radio, and the movie soundtrack (Wes Craven\u2019s \u201cPeople Under the Stairs\u201d). Redhead Kingpin and the FBI were everywhere, until they weren\u2019t. Do The Right Thing, Pump it Hottie, and We Rock the Mic Right were all hits from the Markell Riley produced record. Two years later, Redhead Kingpin released a second (and final) record. Did anyone know that? Did anyone buy it? Why was it the last one? Someone will have to track down David Guppy (Redhead Kingpin) and ask him. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    1. Intelligent Hoodlum \u2013 Intelligent Hoodlum (or as he\u2019s known now, Tragedy Khadafi) is one of the illest emcees I have ever heard. The first time I heard \u201cBlack & Proud\u201d I was hooked. His self-titled album is by far, my favorite of his catalog. Marley Marl and Large Professor on the production, Intelligent Hoodlum on the microphone, and a disappearing act in the making. This record was conscious rap at its finest. Intelligent Hoodlum released one more album under that name before changing his moniker to Tragedy Khadafi. Who changes their name after a successful album, let alone two albums? The same guy who says he coined the phrase \u201cIllmatic\u201d six years before Nas dropped his debut album.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      1. Craig Mack \u2013 In1994 Project Funk da World dropped, and everyone wanted flava in their ears. This was the voice that launched Bad Boy. But Puffy being Puffy, this was also the album that destroyed Craig Mack as the world knew him. Flava in Ya Ear was a great song, it showcased Craig Mack\u2019s voice and flow. It was only a matter of time until Mack was a concert headliner across the world\u2026..and then that remix happened. That lineup was not there to help launch Mack\u2019s career. Even Stevie Wonder saw what was going on here; Puffy\u2019s murder of Mack and the launch of the new face of Bad Boy, the man with \u201cmore Mack than Craig\u201d, Biggie Smalls. Biggie went on to be Puffy\u2019s cash cow, and Craig ended up in a religious cult in Walterboro, South Carolina.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
