    I followed Wiz all the way through his come up. The Day Today's and how active he was with his fans was something else. Really enjoyed that period

    Action Bronson: I have been listening since "Imported Goods" dropped in August 2010. Either me or DoCe were the first to mention Bronson on RB/SL.

    Macklemore: Before he dropped the Vs EP. Caught a link to "White Privilege" and listened to Language of My World. I also saw him live in September 2010, where he was the opening act for Blue Scholars.

    YC The Cynic: Not that he's famous but his popularity went up a little with GNK. I've known about him since "You're Welcome" dropped and I saw him live back then in 2010.

    Wiz Khalifa: I'm not a fan at all but I've known about him since Show and Prove.

    J. Cole: Since The Warm Up. I don't know if that qualifies as underground, I believe he had his deal by then. But I knew about him before his major label debut and I saw him live the week after Friday Night Lights dropped.

    Joell Ortiz: Since his appearance on Kool G. Rap's The Giancana Story dropped in 2002.

    Royce Da 5'9": Since his appearance on SSLP in 1999. I also copped the "Scary Movies" CD single back then too.

    El-P: Since "End To End Burners" in 1998. I then went back and got Funcrusher Plus.

    Big KRIT: Since I saw him get booed live in 2010.

    CyHi: Not a fan but I also saw him get booed the same night as KRIT. That was before he got with GOOD and before his appearance in that BET Cypher which got people talking about him. He was just another artist signed to Def Jam at that point.

    Nitty Scott: She's not that famous but since becoming an IG Thot, she's gotten more attention. I used to be a fan when she first started releasing freestyle videos. 2DopeBoyz kept pushing her music like crazy. I met her in 2011 in Brooklyn, she seemed cool. She first got on people's radar with her BET Cypher appearance. She dropped her old manager and is now being managed by Sha Money XL. Surprise, surprise, she dropped the "I want you take me seriously as a rapper who happens to be female" shtick for the "I just want you to look at my ti--ies but I still want you to take me serious" shtick. Between that, her bs social media posts, I've had about enough. When she drops the p---, I'll cop tho.

    Everyone at SL knew I repped MGK. Now it turns out he is big and I'm not such a fan anymore.

    Also hopsin but it could be debated if he is really famous at this point

    B.O.B since No genre/ The adventures of bobby ray
    If you call DIzzy wright famous, then dizzy wright.
    Also He's not famous now, but I know someone who I hope gets recognised. On his debut album, he needs a b-----r, to help him get his recognition.

    Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, ScHoolboy Q, Chance The Rapper, Kid Cudi, Odd Future, Big Sean.

    J. Cole is my proudest, but I listened to Cudi a lot when I was younger because one of my childhood friend's older brother would always listen to him in the car when taking us to school and stuff. Cudi was so much better back then IMO. It was like nothing I ever heard.
