Has A Rapper Ever Fallen Off Harder Than Kanye?

[Trillfate]

Cosign. His music sucks now

"and she just bleached her asshole..."

 

[sully]

It's not so much that he fell off lyrically, he's just writing his own lyrics.

 

[yroholla]

A part of me wants to feel like Kanye trolling niggas with the shit he been dropping after MBDTF. Its like he knows we would appreciate his old shit more by dropping this half ass shit he been dropping the last few years. No way he can listen to his first 3 albums and MBDTF and say with conviction that he dropping the same quality of music now. No fucking way. Watch the Throne dont count either fuck that. Hes a producer first, thats what we knew him for. Fuck the lyrics, even his production credits aint as good as it used to be. Hes obviously a much bigger artist today than he used to be but his celebrity status aint going nowhere.

Ppl try to say he too busy with other ventures but he got all this time to go on tour and perform all his old hits sprinkled with all that uninspired shit he dropped the last few years. He dont need that money right now. He need to lock himself in the studio with Jay, Common, Talib, Scarface and Beanie Sigel and chop up some soul sample tracks for old times sake. And fuck him for that "I Love Kanye" track on TLOP too. Trolling at its finest

His ego is too big for that and you're being blind to his crappy music by calling it "trolling". 1 album? Maybe, Multiple albums? Nah playa, stop it.

I dont know whatelse to call it bro. Its one thing to fall off lyrically but as a producer too? Shits mindboggling how the quality just declined. Its everything from subject matter to actual raps to production. Everything fell off theres no excuse. Im still a fan but the decline in quality is on some trolling shit i refuse to believe he just isnt that talented anymore

I honestly can't stand Ye as a person , I mean it could be an act and all that too but I doubt it.

Hes a great producer , a medium to sub par rapper . A horrible fashion designer.

And his last two joints were worse then trying to read a post by Gee.

 

[Listencloser]

Ja Rule went from arguably running rap to being a pariah the very next year.

Ja rules downfall was mostly a public image thing...if u go back n listen to his albums he didn't fall off as hard as it seems..50 made it look worse..ja kept making the same hits that had him running rap prior to his perceived "fall off". He never made another venni vitti vicci..but that's not what put him on top anyways..it was all them damn female anthems lol..which coincidently led to his fall

Blood in My Eye and R.U.L.E. where dope albums. Not as good as VVV but better than Pain is Love and 3:16

 

[Beta]

Could be just that kanye don't care for music like that anymore.

And if you remember what he said, he originally did this to get into fashion and that was his goal from the get go so I mean...

 

[THE_R_]

BLOOD IN MY EYE WAS A STRUGGLE MAKAVELI ALBUM...

R.U.L.E. WAS UNDERRATED THOUGH...HEADS DIDN'T WANT TO LISTEN TO A CORPSE RAP...

 

[sapp08_2001]

I hate to say it but Wayne and DMX own this thread. One smoked his career away while the other made stupid business decisions(signing to Baby again including Young Money. Lost Tyga. Got cheated out of money, cant release an album) and couldnt stay off the Lean.

 

[janklow]

DMX is the correct answer here easily.

this is true. honestly, a lot of the answers here are more about default hate (*cough Eminem cough*). but DMX really did collapse after being SUCH a fucking force out of the gate. a damn shame.

 

[Built 4 cuban linx]

Y'all sound stupid as shit sometimes.. It's well known that Eminem fell the fuck off, even he would tell you by how much he apologized for his new shit. So how is people naming him "hate"? That word needs to be retired ASAP

 

[rip.dilla]

Kanye is still very much a HipHop head... he dropped nice bars on 2 or 3 songs on TLOP and I liked how he incorporated gospel themes by Blacks into the album

However he lives in Hollywood land currently and wifed up a popular 'reality' TV star and exhibitionist ...

 

[Gee_has_hot_picture]

yeezus was possibly somehow worse then encore, holy fuck what was Ye thinking

Dmx takes the crown, crack ruined that nigga. dmx was running the game with em jay nas all in their primes still

 

[Bcotton5]

Kanye one of the rappers Ill always fuck with and be a fan of even though I do think he been dropping wack ass albums for years now

 

[natural born sinners]

Jay z fell off way harder but yall pretend he ain't been garbage for 10yrs. American gangster his only decent release since black album. Kanye has dropped MULTIPLE classics since both those albums. Even yeezus has blood on the leaves on it which is debatable his best song ever.

Em also fell off worse even tho lyrically he ain't fall off nearly as bad as jigger

I think Jay had a gradual decline..can't say it was drastic
