KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Rakim Supergroup Dream Is Already Over

Not long ago we told y’all there was a potential supergroup in the works called Mount Rushmore. The lineup? Legends only: KRS-One, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap and Rakim. One close source even said Slick Rick might bless a couple tracks.

But now, let me be the first to tell you: that dream has crumbled. The whole thing has fallen apart before it could ever become real. In the original rumor report, it was mentioned that one of the MCs hadn’t signed on just yet. That mystery rapper remained a “holdout.” After our story hit, folks reached out to him and it went left. He didn’t even know about the group. Major red flag.

What we didn’t realize at the time was there was actually another person in the lineup, who had quietly decided they weren’t rocking with it either. And that sealed the deal. I wish I could say more about this, but I can’t. It would only make this worse.

Bottom line: the Mount Rushmore supergroup is officially a wrap.

If anything changes, you’ll be the first to know. But for now, chalk this one up as another Hip-Hop “what if.” Just know, for a very short time, something real was forming.

This is the rumors section for a reason. Oh well.
