Not true, at least for the under 35 demographic. I know a few girls who are otherwise ignorant to rap music who want to have his babies.
LOL. Uhhhhh.....If there's one person (other than Shawn Kemp) who should NOT be having more babies....

True. The transformation from boring as fuck generic underground rap to the horrific crimes against humanity they release now is pretty incredible

Devin The Dude is another one. It took him a decade to break through but he's pretty much a well known name throughout the hip-hop globe. I just wish he wasn't on the decline.

Tonedeff and Sage Francis also come to mind
Really? If anything I'd say Tonedeff belongs in the "never lived up to expectations" thread.
Dude had a great voice, ridiculous flow and some really dope lines. He dropped Archetype and then....what?
Sage Francis is rapping over drumless beats by French guys.

Reef The Lost Cauze. Hearing him on AOTP didn't make you expect great albums like Feast or Famine and Vicious Cycle
