Yes there are other rappers that have done this same thing but I feel like he's the first rapper I've ever heard doing it.

From what I heard back in the day he spent too much time waiting for a better record deal than he was being offered until his hype train finally ran out of steam. It doesn't help that the whole yelling thing turned a lot of more mainstream-minded people off.
