Which rappers had the worst downfall?

[Zero]

DMX

Dude was on top of the world then Great Depression came out

Still did alright considering...then Grand Champ was even worse....then obscurity and a return to drug use and run ins with the law

 

[28 Gramz]

DMX without question.

Dude was a lock to sell 3-5 mil every album on his run..was in big movies and arguably the biggest rapper of the late 90s early 2000s aside Jay and Em.

The reason his shyt is worse is because he didn't just fall off musically like 50 or Wayne but the drug use..constant prison time and overall tradgedy behind it. These other guys were naming still have millions of dollars,fame and are living their dreams. Its not a poster on this forum who would trade places with X right now

 

[duckbutta]

Easily Curtis...

From Diamond albums to asking a judge if he can pay his light bill and having to get on the stand and testify that his internet life is all a lie...

Dude is pretty much a coli poster now...

I would honestly say DMX and Bobby Shmurda.

DMX had it the worst....just sayin.

 

[Prominence0]

I honestly think Lil Wayne
I still remember in his prime him and Baby did a song with a local Mexican cholo rapper

Not a fan of Lil Wayne, he still has two HUGE ARTIST under his brand and he is currently doing commercials. You can't rap forever and you have to branch out. I'm pretty sure he figured out the Hollywood Biz, just like LL did.

ja rule had it rough. 50 literally ended his career
dmx hurts me on the inside. this dude was larger than life when i was young
alfamega woke up one day and everything he had was gone. not saying what he did was okay but that woke up one day and his life completely changed for the worse
50 cent. as a big fan of everything the massacre and before its hard to watch this guy pretend he likes rap. he has put zero heart into his projects since the massacre. now he's broke and cringe worthy.

Jarule didn't have the industry fully turn on him. The man is still rich and funny as hell.

And a show on MTV, and a movie "That was horrible", he still fresh out of jail getting jobs.

I'll leave this here, in 2003. He is one of favorite rappers ever but this is the truth.

He needs to clean his act up, real talk.

X is a beast, he let DRUGS GET TO HIM!

DMX

[Poetical Poltergeist]

Never seen this before. Off to watch the whole shyt now.

Dmx,Cube, roots and Wyclef I think were the only hip hop acts. All on youtube.

Cube had a wack crowd, but he does the same old act he always does.

 

[MewTwo]

Sales-wise
50 Cent
DMX

Talent-wise
Jay-Z
Eminem

 

[duckbutta]

Not sure why everyone is picking DMX...dude been an addict his whole life...it only ever ends one way for addicts...

shyt...you could flip it and say he had the best come up...strung out on drugs but held it together all of those years to release a few classic albums...

Scott Storch needs to be on this list...I think he said he never fukked with drugs until he became a big name producer...

 

[L. Deezy]

I will say DMX..

and its not just a music thing. Its more becuz dude was about to really hit that movie lane hard.

Musically he fell off as well, but you only get a certain amount of years at the top anyway.

 

[wizworld]

I wanna say the Boss Don Biggavel

But he's going to win one of these appeals and we gon' get another wave y'all, just wait

 

[Pop123]

Gotta be DMX, how could it not be?
