Memphis Bleek - I don't understand why people were writing him off and putting the likes of Young Chris and Beanie Sigel ahead of him considering that Bleek had back to back gold plaques and a platinum one too. He had almost as many albums as Rick Ross and sold more than him yet people still shit on Bleek SMMFH. He's the one who actually owns Ace of Spades NOT Jay-Z, Hov just promotes it he confirmed it in a Vlad interview LOLOLOLOLOL.
ODB - most of these cats aren't going to believe this b/c they associate ODB by his look NOT by his music. He was a musical genius and dope on the mic, he was dropping critically acclaimed albums (Return to 36 is a classic IDGAF) and if you pay close enough attention he was a big influence on Kanye West. He doesn't get the props he deserves in 2015 SMMFH.
Jim Jones - Another great artist beneath the business acumen. He may not have been as lyrically brash as Cam or as hard hitting as Juelz Santana but he put together some consistent albums and crafted hit records. He had a good ear for production and actually put out some quality albums/songs. He made more money than Cam'Ron did for crying out loud and was instrumental in marketing Dipset and getting most of the other members like 40 Cal, Hell Rell, Bezel, Purple City etc. deals as well as business ventures. He was underrated b/c people were so caught up in Cam's swag. It was Jimmy who came up with the idea to rock pink and purple, it was Jimmy who got them the liquor deal, it was Jimmy who help come up with the idea to push Dipset as a movement.
JR Writer - say what you want but he could get busy on the mic. He was dope and should have had an illustrious career. The only thing about JR was that his production choice wasn't very good b/c he was trying to maintain a "Dipset" sound rather than trying to hone his own and branch out eventually.
Flesh-N-Bone - niggas gonna act like he aint KILL For The Love of Money SMMFH LOLOL. He was great at killing out features but he just couldn't stay outta trouble. If he had better discipline he could have honed himself lyrically.
Big Boi - people give waaayy too much credit to Dre not realizing that a lot of the production choices, album concepts and songwriting was actually due to Big Boi's genius. 3K might be the better lyricist but it's not like Big Boi couldn't rap like there was no tomorrow or like he couldn't be in the top 15 lyricists in rap. Big Boi is amazing and his solo albums even confirm this.
ASAP Ferg - this nigga has more range, versatility and creativity than Lord Flacko Jodye II. His album was dope and I think he's better than Flacko lyrically.
