Powerful Songs and albums that Sacrificed Careers

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I was thinking about this for a spell concerning artists that came and went....what if it's not so much the rapper's actions (issues with labels, drugs, etc) or the issues with one hit wonders and yadda.

Yet, the issue with a song or album that hit either close to home or a spiritual sacrifice to give heads knowledge of whats at stake in life.

For instance:



This song imo was the song that did Rich Boy in on a different level. It exposed the ills of money and how worthless it is on every level without a purpose. That track possibly opened the third eye to rappers and communities in general, to see the other side of the coin. Grind and look beyond material. Something that goes against the matrix of life.


Lets go deeper



This song honestly was Cham's magnum opus as it brought spirituality and bridging the gap between differences. Something that was not thought of at the time in the midst of "Rollin" and "Popping Truck". In the landscape of material and other deadly sins, this song felt like the way out as Chamillionaire follow-up album was kind of a dud

Last but not least.....Face:

Face has always been a intricate case of being too real for the industry. But this album right here was the one that was too on the nose concerning the following:

• Spirituality
• Humanity
• Exposing hypocrisy in the church
• Family values

This is beyond The Diary and The World is Yours, this is a man calling an audible on the field with this album. Sadly, after The Fix, Face ended up just fading into what he knows. Thus his later albums had that Rap A Lot steez, but not enough to make it beyond the southern tunes and real ones headphones.

So with that being said...what other songs and albums that you feel put a halt on a artist's going beyond limitations. That pure track or album that the powers that be from physical to spiritual put a hit on the career or an artist.
