DLH = P.diddy
Diddy was never anything special rapping but somehow gets 100+ million a year off his fame
DLH has lost just about every big fight hes been in, but continues to be boxings biggest cash cow
Snoop dogg = Mike tyson
Was the greatest in his prime but since then both have been a former shell of themselves
Both also dont have the supporting cast they've had back in the day

Canibus = Zab Judah
Canibus came on the scene and everybody was amzed by his lyricism and hunger, and thought he'd be the next big thing. However, his album flopped and he's only remained a great MC in the eyes of hip-hop heads and enthusiasts, not a big star like he used to be hyped.
Zab Judah had all the talent in the world, but he never got the notoriety that he longed for. Won world titles, made some noise, but never lived up to the potential that he had.

Fredro Starr looks like Ike Quartey.

Very good analogy.

AZ - James Toney
Both gave some great performances early on (Doe or Die <--> Nunn/Barkley), both had some lulls in their careers but came back with another classic or two (Aziatic/AWOL <--> Jirov/Holyfield), both haven't been giving their best as of late (Undeniable <--> Peter II)......
both at their best are among the best to do it in their respective fields though.
Zab and Canibus is a great comparison.
Rakim and Robinson, Jigga and Floyd, LL Cool J and Evander Holyfield...

kool g rap = mike mccallum
overshadowed by the likes of rakim (hagler), krsone (srl), slick rick (duran) and big daddy kane (hearns), but some will tell you that he had more talent than all those guys.
