I got a few....


Rihanna (big time...great image and sex appeal...little else)

Nickleback (No words...)

Alicia Keys (Not saying she doesn't have talent, because she does...I just don't get her appeal...)

Rick Ross (This is dicey....Obviously, he started out a catch phrase blurting joke and then a) either got some decent ghostwriters or b) made an effort to become a better writer....The crazy thing is his career should have been done after his battle with 50 Cent...When 50 still had some semblance of juice he was making a mockery of the whole "officer Ricky" thing..Making videos with dudes ex girlfriend...Most careers would have been DONE after that...But Ross thrived and went on to become a, um, southern rap powerhouse who could get away with rhyming with everyone from Jay-Z to Wayne???? Insane...That dude sold his soul at the crossroads...)

Souljah Boy (History says he was supposed to be a one-hit wonder....Shit...What does history know?)
