I’m procrastinating...

I bought a cheap early Shyheim CD a few weeks ago when I was in Miami, and it made me wonder....

Who was the best kiddie or teen rapper? Who actually showed promise and wasn’t just a "cute" kid rapping?

Shyheim? A+? Chi Ali? Special Ed? Kris Kross (LOL.)
Probably not Lil Zane, Lil’ Wayne, Lil Bow Wow or Lil Romeo...

Shyheim stands out to me because of his Wu-Tang affiliation. AZ was rapping with A+ and Prodigy of Mobb Deep.

Remember A+Z? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1IFSOuI_qw

I know LL Cool J, Rakim and many others entered the game when they were teenagers, but I’m more interested in the rappers that were clearly teens. Rakim could have passed for a 20-something when Paid in Full came out.
