Title: Did HITTMAN appreciate the opportunity?
Post by: Jay_J on August 25, 2007, 03:08:29 AM
Did HITTMAN appreciate the opportunity which is given by Dr. Dre on Chronic 2001 ?
You know 2001 was a classic album of a legend producer/rapper and Hittman was the guy who featured most in this album.
Dre gaved this change to Snoop only before, and Snoop is a legend today. Then he gaved this change to Hittman named rapper we never heard before. And today there is no Hittman in the game. Ok, Dre released a solo for Snoop after Chronic and he didn't do it for Hittman. But is the problem an unreleased solo album for being unsuccesfull for Hittman?
Or HITTMAN is a wack rapper? He ain't got anything special to be a star? Dre choosed the wrong guy?
What do you think about it, let's discuss

Hittman was a good rapper, he just failed to make a good album, and wasnt able to produce any hit songs

I think Hittman just never really had anything that made him stand out, he was an just ok rapper.

Hittman is an unbelieveable talent, 1 of dre's dopest proteges ever (lyrically IMO)...i wouldn't say he didn't appreciate the oppourtunity, but he decided to stay true 2 himself instead of do whatever it was dre wanted him to do (he said the situation failed because they weren't seeing eye to eye on his project)...i don't get it, it's all gangsta rap 2 me :-\

Hittman is far more than an ok rapper. When I was 12 and 2001 came out, I wasn't that impressed by him but now that I'm older and my ears have been cultivated by more music than before, Hittman's one of my favorite west coast MCs.

hittmans a cool rapper. but he def wouldnt stand out.. i mean dre brought out snoop, which is like the #1 most charismatic rapper ever.. so its kinda hard to like fill those shoes.

Hittman's ridiculously charismatic but

a)his rhyme schemes are more complex than what the average persob digests easily

b)he's a big dude in the post Biggie generation. Biggie was the last big rapper to blow up before it got to the point where you need a reality show, cribs appearance and constant interviews getting bitches to want you in order to sell your records. B.I.G. himself couldn't blow up in this market climate.

I think Hittman is definitely a lyrical rapper that maybe did not fit the mold into what Dre was doing at the time 8)

I dont think that hittman had as much appeal as snoop did thats why the album never came out

Did Dre appreciate the opportunity?

of course he did thats why he is all over 2001, dre got what he wanted from hittman, great lyrics.

Hittman didnt get a solo album produced by dre though which was what he prob wanted.

^Yeah, but if he had put out a Hittman solo album then he would have had another gold selling artist on his label. I think he would have definitely went gold if he put that album out in 2000 or 2001. But gold was/is probably a flop in Dre's eyes. That's why he started to look for another rapper. Someone who would go atleast platinum. And then he found 50 cent.

I don't know why Dre wasted so much time and promotion on Hitman.  Dude was on like 9 tracks on 2001, he wasn't on the level of t he other emcee's on the album

deep down I think dre likes good lyrical rappers, but Iovine really limits what he can do for them. Hittman was beyond alot of the MCs on 2001 imo.
