Maybe top 50. HNIC not great and MM pretty god but not classic. The only song I remember from HNIC is we going diamond and thats because of how bad it was.
 
Based on 4 years of greatness (95-99) compared to almost a decade and a half of mediocrity and borderline trash, all I can say is get all the way the fuck outta here. P was great at one point, and I understand everyone falls off, but P's fall from grace actually cancels out the few years he was good.
 
Jay Z

Big Boi

Nas

Bun B

Cee Lo

Common

LL

Scarface

Styles P

Method Man

Ghostface

Ray

Ice Cube

Dr. Dre

Redman

Black Thought

Devin The Dude

Talib

Snoop

Nas is no where near the rapper he was during Illmatic days. Nobody since has come close. He's still great a rapper though. Just not on that level.

Name 15 fucking artists that were great for "decades"? P's run was no shorter than the majority of GOATS.

Jay

Nas

Em (the IC gonna hate, but fuck it)

Ghost

Rae

Rakim (hasn't dropped a solid project in a minute, but his flow is still there)

Kane (see Rakim)

KRS (see Kane and Rakim)

Both Kast members

Masta Ace

Redman

LL (he fell off since 2000 but hes been dope longer than most of this list)

Common

Talib

G Rap (see Rakim)

And I'm not factoring commercial success, cuz that would eliminate most of this list and P himself. All those cats aren't the same as they used to be, but they still maintained some level of skill. I'll put it like this... if P put out 10 verses in a year, 2, if that, would be genuinely dope. Not good for a top 15 all timer.

And P is nowhere near that level. I was going on going on his time from 95-99

 
I think his flow is wack now but he raps about shit these days not many talk about and he's putting in work - 5 or 6 albums since in the last 5 years is impressive.

People have a misconception of Prodigy because Pac and Jay said some dumb disses that stans hang onto like its gospel. P is top 15 dead or alive in my books.
 
Get the fuck outta here, Jay-Z fell off harder than P as a rapper. Bumpy Johnson EP is better than anything Jay released since 2003.

Em was never great.

I'll give you Rakim and Kane because although they didn't make classic music like in the 80's their rhyming skills are still sharp.

Ghostface and Raekwon both fell off but not that much.

KRS been feel off after the 80's.

Andre 3000 1 verse every 2 years doesn't count.

Haven't heard Masta Ace shit in years.

Reggie fell off after the 90's.

I'll give you Common.

Talib was never on that high of a level to begin with so who cares.

I agree with G Rap.

Either way yall are completely unfair to Prodigy. I think yall been brain washed by Jay-Z or some shit cause shit is disgusting. He's not even bad now b. All that shows you is how dope he was in his prime (which should be the most important factor). If Jay-Z put out 10 verses in a year they would all be wack as fuck. Truthfully he only has 2 or 3 hot albums yet y'all dick lick him to no end.

Nobody is on the level they were on in the 90's. That's my point. Only thing people can say to discredit P is they don't fuck with his shit from the 2000's when most rappers fell off. Biggie and Pac didn't even have the chance to fall off. Lupe fell off but that doesn't discredit what he did. Jay-Z been fell off over a decade ago but he's still in my top 10.
 
Muh fucka said his fall from grace cancels out the years he was good. You guys can't be serious. This can't be life. What type of logic is this?

That's a damn lie
 
from 94/99 he was dope. but the fall off was one of the worst I've heard. Maybe he's a top 15, I've never tried to make list that long
 
I agree early P will always be in my top 15, but its been more than a couple years that he fell off, I cant listen to any of his shit since Amerikas nightmare but even on that album he was pretty lackluster, honestly hes been falling off since 01-02, but Jay said it himself there was a time span where P was one of the best doing it, and that time alone I still appreciate and keep him in my top 15 top 10 arguably, so many features he was killing in them days too

One, I don't like Jay and any of the dumbass shit he says. But I can't deny that's he's dope. Even his "wack" shit takes some skill to make. And again, I don't even like Jay like that, especially recently. P was one of my favorite rappers at one point, especially in the late 90s. But he wasn't even top 5 in NY in his prime when half the Wu was shittin on him skillwise (Mef, Ghost, Rae, GZA, Deck). Then on top of that he's gotta be tied with Norega for the biggest fall off in hip hop history. That nigga flow has been ass since 2001. Infamy, terrible. America's Nightmare, the beats saved it. Bloody Money, ha! ROTM is my shit, but let's face it, Alchemist was the star of that album. Call it harsh judging, but no, P isn't top 15. Especially after all the potential he's wasted. Nigga was soundin 48 at 28.
