Washed up to me is somebody with nothing to offer.
What does the booth consider relevant or "washed up"?

For me being washed up had less to do with irrelevance and more of your lyrical ability and ear for beats. So there's different degrees of washed. Eminem is still a great rapper from a technical aspect, but can't find good production to save his life, and still attempts these desperation singles. Washed. 50 Cent is washed pretty much in that same way. Lil Flip's flow now compared to 2002 is rrrrreally bad, and can't seem to find good production. Washed. Canibus is washed in the same way as Eminem. If Beanie Sigel makes more Gang Gang lookin for ops songs, WASHED.
This is a great post, although I would say rapping ability as opposed to lyrical ability.
But what's popular nowadays has very little to do with how we judged rappers in the 90s.
The music is completely different at this point and evaluated differently.

They think anyone that is not no 1 on the hot 100 and selling 500k first week is washed up.
Also...if there aren't 20 threads a day of said rapper in the booth then they're irrelevant.
Meanwhile, there still getting 50 to 100k per show and shyt

That's actually what I meant, cause with me mentioning Lil' Flip, he was never some Pharoah Monch or anything, and his content has actually gotten better, but his actual rapping voice and delivery just aren't there anymore. Sure, you don't expect for a rapper to sound the same in his mid 30s as he did at 19/20, but it's such a drastic difference that he's practically unlistenable now, which sucks, as I wasa big fan of his between 1999-2004
If you go more than a few years with no music you're irrelevant
If you go a few years with no music, drop some new music, and it's
then you're washed

It is a mystery

This board still thinks 50 cent aka curtis ratson is still relevant for anything other than snitching:curtisratson:
I would NOT take their word for who's hot right now

since when did it require a stadium tour to be successful
ijs they the most recent group to really change the game.
the last people that changed the game, 50, Drake...etc. got huge to the point that they were doing stadiums.
