This. That's why we need to appreciate the MC's who have been in the game a looooong time and really haven't fell off, or haven't fell off that bad, like Nas, Ghostface, Scarface, etc.them old cats for still putting out top notch verses
I dont get how rappers "Fall Off"

Not only this but styles and whats "in" changes. There's no comparison in basketball the fundamentals of the game 20 years agoe are basically the same and if you ask some ppl they'd say the fundamentals of players have gotten worse. By contrast the flows, deliveries of MCs 20 yrs ago are MUCH different than today and you have to keep up in order to not be
Well said!
the difference with basketball and music is that. music is subjective .. sports isn't.
if you shoot the ball through the basket its 2 points whether 2 decades ago or now .. with rappers .. they spit the same thing and fans get tired of them and move on.
wayne been rapping bout "shyt" before you were born .. now u just think its lame and hence think his fall off is.
there is no one standard for music that contributes hot or hot.
understand OP?
4 years ago any song T-pain was on was considered hot .. Now its Future Vandross and T-Pain cant find a hit .. did he fall off? no .. fans have moved on

Music changes very quickly
It's hard to make hit record after hit record
It's impossible to compete with what's new in hiphop

Its obvious that Wayne was getting a little help on the Carter 2...
But I think at a certain point rapper run of things that are rellvant or that they are passionate about to rap about.
Dude spend their whole life going through experiences and struggles which normally help create their debut CD. then if its a hit they are expected to surpass that within the next year.
You go from being poor and grindin to living very good and having stuff given to you its hard to still be as hungry and creative..
Thats why I salute cats like Jay & Nas who have been able to be as relevant as they are for this long
