The shelf life for a rapper has always been limited at the very best. In this day and age of quasi-MC’s whose careers got a boost due to social media, overzealous media and savvy labels looking to make a buck, the time it takes from being a name brand to becoming a footnote is almost instantaneous. Don’t believe us ? Ask yourself when’s the last time you even thought of the rapper’s (and the occasional singers) that made this list of Atlanta artist y’all already forgot about. No shots, but not everyone from the A is meant have longevity. And no, it doesn’t count if he or she’s your cousin. — Photo: press handout
