OPINION Who Is The Most Disappointing Rapper To Come Out..

[Sky Davis]

He had a movement in the early 10’s that was not supported by NYC radio. There’s only so far you’ll go if your own city isn’t even rocking with you.

This isn’t more disappointing than Troy Ave?

 

[Sky Davis]

For what he could’ve been? Absolutely.

Fair enough

This isn’t more disappointing than Troy Ave?

Troy had singles all over Hot 97 and Power 105, was on Summer Jam two years in a row, Joey didn’t get none of that.

Troy won the beef?

Yes but in the long run Joey is doing way better, meanwhile the only time people semi care about Troy is when it involves Webster Hall. Fucking Taxstone man smh.

Troy more famous than Joey funny enough lol

Separately though it is funny how overall nobody really cares about Joey’s music like that

They swore he had next when 1999 was out

Troy Ave’s career has been disappointing. Came out the gate with a fire album but bullshit just kept following him afterwards.

I’m’a keep it a buck I don’t think anyone outside the Tri-State area was expecting that much outta Troy Ave. That lane was wide open for him tho & he missed the layup.

troy is not more famous than joey badass

joey badass is in mainstream shit and ads

Though he sounded like Future, he had promise... he's not the first person to live off being a clone. He was signed to Kanye so that was also a boost. Panda is the best song you would want to launch a career from, or at the very least live off being a one hit wonder and avoid getting put in the sex offender registry.

That don’t mean he’s more famous

More people know who Troy is than “that’s the guy from Mr robot”

What about desiigner made fans overall be excited about him as an artist and then ultimately felt let down?

I'm just now learning all this. I mean, Troy is more "famous", but for shit I wouldn't wanna be famous for.

Let the 90s babies, XXL and whoever made that song famous tell it, he had next. Maybe I got it twisted.
