favorite rappers that fell off but in their prime were beast

[King Lance]

correct

I see what you did there

[Dohc-Nyne]

Vanilla Ice... M.C. Hammer... Canibus...

Being somebody who almost exclusively listens to full albums when he wants to hear some music I agree that Nas and Eminem are capable of putting out some material worth listening to but there hasn't been a full project I can listen to and enjoy my entire time with it since Lost Tapes and MMLP for the two of them.

Yeah, a fair amount of the material has been good post those albums but full projects being quality is what i'm after, I'm not some kiddy who just throws on Rap God a hundred times on his bus-ride to school and thinks Eminem is good because of that.

Tech N9ne is still capable of dropping a dope track or verse every now and again, but I haven't enjoyed a project in full since Killer now. I think dropping projects annually has hindered his writing, combined with the fact that his albums from 2001-2008 were of a high standard and covered a wide array of topics. It seems like these days that his songs are mainly re-hashes of his old work, random gibberish, and catchphrase based tracks stemming from older songs.

not looking to change your mind because of how set you seem on this, but i've been going back through all of tech's feature verses here and editing them all out one by one, starting from most recent, and he just gradually gets worse and worse the further back I go. on every level. the further back you go the more hollow lyrics he's he's letting out, the more sloppy the flows and rhyme schemes are, check for yourself! and even his flows that were pushing the envelope at the time still needed a lot of work on a grammatical level. these days he's much sharper, and continues to get sharper. I loved Killer too but 6's & 7's trumped it for me, and then Special Effects was amazing getting to work with The Doors and remake the song that he named his label after with them, and then the Serj track that allowed him to play at Knotfest as the first rap headliner at a metal event, and then his Strangeulation cypher and shit, like c'mon now. how you gonna say he's rehashing old topics? show me one example of this. one. he's always always telling new stories on his work, he may reference a story he's told for the sake of context but he never re-tells the whole thing.

This new thing with bringing down TES is actually hilarious.

This new thing with bringing down TES show is actually hilarious.

oh, hage, also all of this was filmed in the last 5 years aside from the einstein performance. tech is still very in his prime.

Even though he's never been good at making concept songs Canibus has fallen off and on over the years however I think what really sealed his fate was losing to Dizaster in such an embarrassing way.
He was a fucking weapon around the 'Second Round KO' era but he's never been as strong since then.

[TheBoss123]

Snoop Dogg
Busta Rhymes
Lil Wayne
I would say Ludacris, but has he ever really put out an entire album thats really good? I've heard plenty of good verses, but Im not entirely familiar with his discography.
After Paperwork maybe T.I. has fallen off too, them verses were so bland on like 80% of the album. We'll see with the next release though.

I don't think Eminem truly ever fell off because the dude still makes good music, people may not like it as much as the old shit and it may even not be as good in some respects but I think he definitively proved with MMLP2 that hes still fully capable of spitting great bars consistently.
