Him going back to jail after Paper Trail and releasing that apologetic ass album No Mercy did him in.

The Telcom Act has ya'll forgetting rappers ain't supposed to be popular to 10, 15 years.

Clifford had a GREAT run--it's over. He needs to stay out of politics, retire from rap and do something else.

He fell off because he went to jail and lost his "it" factor on making hit songs. Prison rust did him in, followed by him becoming a reality star. Hard to maintain a "trap muzik" personality on record when we see you're now a square family guy on VH1.
Raising kids in a good household is square? :gucci:

Yeah we really need stop with this falling off shyt and start celebrating our legends for what they did. GunsNRoses and them can still sell out stadiums 30+ years after their debut. We don't let a rapper get past 10 years and 5 albums before we say they're washed.

You’re right but point still proven I think LL, Run DMC, 50, Snoop, Dre should be able to but I’m not sure they can


TO BE FAIR

Other genres when they tour, they market to a crowd that grew up on that, they not trying to cater to teenagers and new fans to fill the seats. Theyll do a theme and stage presence for all the classics they have. If 50 cent marketed a tour "Get Rich or Die Trying 15 year annivesary tour" with Fabolous and Jeezy on the undercard, it would probably sell out most arenas :ld: But they still try to tour off their new music or what they perceive as hits. If 50 cent came out with a "street king immortal" tour tomorrow no one would give a shyt :ld: Rappers are used to being "the man" so it seems like its hard for them to notice when theyve lost the grasp on the next wave of potential fans.

Guns n Roses aint trying to push new singles and tour off that, they catering to the crowd that helped them sell millions. The Bad Boy tour did really well, same with the Millenium 2k tour (b2k, pretty ricky, etc).

That's the exact definition of "square." Nothing wrong with it as a father, but it was damaging for his trap king persona.

Hard to take all that trap and gun talk the same when we see you as a Huxtable parent with your own kids calling you "out of touch." It really made the hip-hop target demographic see him in the same light as their parents. No teenager wants to listen to their parent's music.

Like it or not, those two personalities don't mesh well, especially when the music is subpar.
