Things you hate to say about your favorite artists?

Big Daddy Kane he just gave up and faded away.

Some of u niggas scust me how is TI done when his last album was flames he just dropped another hot record with Wayne and is on the biggest tour of the summer.

Slap yourself if you said Vado was Cam and Dipsets ticket back in the game. Vado had a small buzz thanks to Cam, but nobody was lookin at him as the next to blow.

Shenco doesn't have enough street cred

Lauryn Hill- Lauryn left us musically and probably will won't return. Her new stuff is better read than heard post-Unplugged. "Black Rage" was promising, but Lauryn has mostly been releasing speed raps over busy production.

Dr. Dre- 2001 was his last album. Even if he releases Detox, it will probably only have a handful of Dre productions, if that. "Kush" nor "I Need A Doctor" were produced by him. The tracks he did produce intended for that album were all incomplete.

Nas- Some of his best joints are left on the cutting room floor. Meanwhile an album like Nastradamus hits store shelves. Yes, it has some good songs and even one of my favorites ("Project Windows"), but "Sometimes I Wonder", "Belly Button Window", and several other gems could've replaced the weaker songs.

I don't know if you can really blame him to much though... the guy has had a serious curse regarding leaks since Illmatic. Pretty sure that was a major reason why Nastradamus came out the way it did.

What do you mean speed raps?

Either way that's common. Time's change & so does music & the artists. They gotta find the right sound & pitch for themselves. Hip-hop fans are so fickle though & quick to say you fell off if you ain't as popular as you used to be so artists never get to try things or find their right pitch. It's like, if it ain't like your the album that made you famous, which is impossible for a person to just re-create, then you fell off.

Budden is always involved in some shit that makes him look like a fucking idiot or a punching bag.

Lupe needs to get his head back in the game. And he comes off as too smart for his own good.

Wale needs to abandon twitter. And his emotions.

Krit will never get the recognition he deserves. Same can be said for Stalley.

Kendrick will eventually change, and everyone will hate him for it.

Kanye acts like an emotional schoolgirl, and as much as I enjoy his music and respect his talent, I'd prolly kick his ass if I was around him for an extended period of time.

The Jay of old is dead. What we have now is an artist that is more of a chameleon than anything else. It's admirable and disappointing at the same time.

Drake may have talent but I'm not sure if he has what it takes to maintain over the long haul.

Cole needs to let other people carry some of the workload sometime. He's no Kanye and he hasn't figured that out yet. And he's awkward as shit.

Black Thought needs to be mentioned along with the greats. His rapport is unparalleled.

No matter what Nas does he'll never be a top seller again.
