Lupe is back on his feet again after Lasers and his next album will be the return of the king, lets not kid ourselves we all know its going to be fire. He stopped that losing streak he was on and had a year of resurgence so shut the fukk up.
In terms of stars fading however none have had a worse year than Ross, I'll give him one more year before its all finished for him. Lil Wayne had a pretty shytty year as well.
Drake/Kendrick and if I'm honest the whole of the West Coast probably had the best year.
Don't sleep on New York though I can feel them coming back from the dead next year
Outside of the NY comment, I agree with you. Lu still has a shot cause he still young and Hip Hop is slowly moving into the right direction.
Nicki Minaj is on the ropes. Dropping a techno sounding album and being big headed harmed her a lot, both credibility and record sales
Waka is on the ropes, too. Again, dropping a techno sounding single with other artists that is fading credibility harmed him too. No one talks about his album anymore.
Game really doesn't care about his position anymore. He just want to get out that contract and he did with a decent album.
Ross def took a hit with the GDs calling him out and him cancelling his tour dates. Also GFID isn't as hot as people expected it to be.
Wayne, along all of YM outside of Drake, is on the ropes. No one wants a Wayne verse for their singles anymore, his mixtapes is just collection of trash raps, and his image is a shadow of his former self.
Ludacris should own this thread, though. Dropping 2 duds of singles and one of them sounds like
Jersey Shore music just re-enforced Drake's diss that he is cold as an ice cap. His career is all but over at this point. He had a great 10 year run, though.
kind of alternate universe do you live in?
