Specifically the song Fack. Or whatever it was where he said is it gay to be a quarterback next the center’s butt while yelling hut.

Especially the song "Puke" :scust:
I get it, but...no.

Such a disappointing album. The drugs got to him.

Nah. Art of War has dope tracks but they were heading a different direction and although that's natural and Crossroads remix foreshadowed that turn, they couldn't match up with Creepin and E99. Those two records are almost perfect.

I never bought a bone record again after aow cuz I knew it was over.
in high school my homie sold me BTNHResurrection for $5 like 2 days after it came out. he said it was trash and didnt care if he lost money selling it for the 5. i always liked the album and was hype i got it for so cheap at the time :wow:

Kingdom Come

It leaked and was so bad i thought it would be different when the retail dropped

Horrendous album for someone on that level and at the time we just didn’t know that this was a sign of things to come. All of it was lazy even down to the album cover.

In hindsight





This was the last appearance of Ice Cube in his absolute prime in my opinion

He’d have moments after this like Ghetto Vet but I always refer to this verse as the bookmark right before his intention and focus started noticeably dropping off musically


I know it wasn’t feasible for him to be like this forever but 90-95 Cube was in a zone that would be impossible for anyone to duplicate. Gangsta shyt mixed with conscious and was mainstream, he had it all and getting away from Ruthless will go down as one of the smartest moves in Rap history

Cube was done by 1993. Finished. Toast. Finito. Fall off began on The Predator but was mitigated by the dopeness of Da Lench Mob album.

Yeezus.

I really enjoy that album. But it marks the point where Kanye stopped trying to make masterpieces. Every album since has been rushed. Literally, 3 months more on Yeezus & TLOP and they would be top tier albums.

Kids See Ghosts is dope because you can tell it took more than 3 or 4 months to make. Kanye's bars seem written down on paper.

That Ye shyt is the opposite. Sounds like it was written and produced in 2 days, in a bad way. That record is terrible.

This is a scary but dope post. It's like most rappers fall off. Some save face but most have dips.

Who didn't fall off?
Kool G Rap
Nas
Ice T

Honestly that Show Me What you Got bullshyt got a pass on the strength of the samples and the over the top Just Blaze beat. And Just Blaze seems only good for like 1 hot record every 2 years at this point. He shot his shot in the Roc days. But Kingdom Come was just a mess. Maybe it was a cash grab since he did it with Budweiser but don’t expect the fans to buy into this bullshyt
