Kid Cudi is (was?) big imo, he's not a rap star but MOTM 1 is at +800K and MOTM2 went gold

First and foremost, Hopsin. Like, seriously. What happened.
Other than that, I thought Yelawolf would've at least blown up more than he has.
I'm sure others that I can't think of.

Haters started to appreciate my art

But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone?

It was kind of a phenomenon to be honest... Houston's rap scene exploded for a year or so out of nowhere & even had the South on lock that actual years... platinum albums were coming left right & center & Flip, Cham, Paul Wall, Mike Jones & Slim Thug all got crossover recognition & commercial success in a very short period of time coming from a region that never had that before even when such gigantic legendary acts like Gheto Boys, Scarface & UGK were young & active & were dropping classic Hip-Hop album.

That blow up disappeared as surprisingly as it came though... all those artists who had platinum albums flopped with their next albums commercially.
