I wasn't going to make this topic because I don't like that type of energy however I believe a lot can be learned from this. To see the thread on which rappers transitioned well and succeeded over the long term check out this link - Which rappers transitioned well and have long term success?

I also believe that any rapper that fell off can become great again. I'm not going to mention names because I am a public rapper, but I will state real observations that I've made of

---------------------------------------------------------------
EDIT

I edited out the list of examples. Even in the original post I didn't mention names. I listed over 25 examples from real life rappers who fell off - and why. I deleted it because it is negative.
I meant for it to be a learning experience - that was my intention.

I will say that examples included - jail, drugs, hard drugs, not putting out albums, switching styles, assault charges, coming out of jail totally changed, not getting help for mental health, letting their physical health go etc.

Each hyphen is a different rapper. These are all real truthful things that happened.

You're actually right. I stated off the top this is scary thread. My bad for it.

I just wanted to put it out there so people don't get caught up in the same situations. Those were the themes that I saw:
Heavy drugs, switching styles, not putting product out, going to jail - several times, decisions that lead to poor health etc.

I care about rappers and Hip Hop - and want everyone to be on point in the culture. My bad for this thread it can be deleted if you guys want. I take responsibility for it tho. I just want artists to be good.

I thought you meant Designer the rapper.

I don't know any of the artists you mentioned.

Alot of rappers are alcoholics and if they keep it up we'll see the effects faster than thought mark my words!

I think 300 may have a Grammy under their belt. Lyor Cohen ran it for the start I believe. Migos first album dropped on it.
