Who was YOUR fav 90s Hip Hop act that never blew up?

[playahaitian]

I heard this on the way to work and remembered the good times

​

I dont think groups like this could survive the industry even today.

positive music, great lyrics and slamming production.

Back then you were just happy to hear your song on the radio, nice car, Video Music Box, give your Moms some money and get mad love in the streets.

i actually think they were a little ahead of their time...

I think that unique flow and concept could actually work now especially with the net the way it is now.

Strong Careers....but never blew up huge, Quik made most of his money as a producer.......While Mc Eiht had a few hits but never Blew Up huge like Ice Cube, yeah he did have a good career but never got past a certain point in popularity, so a non-hip hop would know who he was.
