Successful Hip Hop Comebacks

[Big Mel]

That Slick Rick album is a rap clinic. Every bar is perfect. Except the song about buttsecks

I see u from Australia man... Maybe he was a a success over there but not here...

Album went gold 13 years after his first recording. That's a success.

Upon its release, The Art of Storytelling proved to be Slick Rick's highest-charting album, peaking at number eight on the Billboard 200, and number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and was certified gold by the RIAA within a month of its release

looks like a success to me, especially for someone who had been in jail for 6 years and released 2 lack luster albums

How biggie fell off with ready to die tho?

Jay was an uprisin star

 

[Still Benefited]

its damn near impossible to be a superstar and make a comeback though...cats like Twista never hit his ceiling so he didn't so much have a comeback as he got a bigger shot,and got bigger

i cant think of any rappers but producers like pharrell are definitely making a comeback. even in r and b, look at babyface. these are true comebacks. it looks like jermaine dupri is back behind those boards as well on his instagram.

 

[Clapsteel O'Neal]

why has noone said the goat comeback ever? especially big mel...you better than this




and he did it for a second time with that pharrell song where he looking like a faccit hanging out the sunroof of a limo with a bouquet of flowers

ll been wriggling out of the clutches of the hip hop grim reaper for two decades

 

[Big Mel]

the song was still extremely well performed but lyrics like "till sperm poured from her butthole" are a bit too graphic. Like when Nas talks about cum or says 'doo doo" i get grossed out.

I mean, LL's rep took a slight hit but everyone knew he was still very much the man. especially after he dropped 'jack the ripper'.

when did ll fall off though. 14 shots to the dome everyone says was his worst selling album. but it still went gold. and had hits like pink cookies and back seat. then he came out with the mr smith album

 

[Big Mel]

lowkey the 3rd Ulramagnetic MC's album was viewed as a comeback due to people sleeping on their brilliant sophomore album. And you could sort of say Kool Keith's solo career/Doc Oc was a comeback story of reinvention.

i stopped messing with him at Mr Smith. i even convinced myself 14 shots wasn't that bad.
