To be fair, there's probably alot of people from the 60s that had hits that we've never heard of.
 
Also, this guy right here:

O.C was in a crew called DITC (Diggin In The Crates). His most popular and most memorable song is Time's Up. People say his first album was a "classic" and compare him to Nas/Illmatic because they came out around the same time and both had that East Coast Boom Bap sound. It wasn't what Dre and Snoop were doing in California, and it certainly wasn't what Puff Daddy and Ma$e were doing in NYC.

Here are his most memorable performances imo

1. Time's Up
2. Dangerous (feat Big L)
3. Day One - DITC
4. Thick - DITC
5. Far From Yours feat Yvette Michelle


I mean, O.C. "kept it real". He didn't sell out and rapped over Boom Bap beats. I think he was bigger in Europe than he was in America. As I understand it, people in Europe liked the "keep it real" New York Boom Bap sound and they didn't care for Puffy, Snoop or Master P.

O.C was defo popular over here in the hip hop scene in the early to mid 00's (as is/was most underground east coast hip hop)...

Alot of artists like Masta Ace, O.C, G Rap, Jedi Mind Tricks, R.A, Talib etc make a fortune touring Europe and Asia, pretty sure they make 100x more than they make in USA...

I remember back around '98 telling this to a local group. Dudes fell through by the crib 'cause they knew one of my roommates and we all got to choppin it up and I told 'em that they don't need to focus so much on being accepted here in the States and to do them 'cause Europe and Asia appreciates the real shit more so than here.
