I agree very recently he hasn't been at his very best, I fukked with that Tripolar tape in 2013 though, I liked that. But his best music as probably quite a while ago, but he's in a different place now so not sure if we will get that again. I wanna hear him rap more to be honest too...
No doubt. And not even including his older shyt cuz it speaks for itself. So many classics
But even without the older material, that run he had from 04-05 to 08 was just crazy

I'm Still Living
Crack
Man them 4 right there barely have a skippable song on them
Cocaine mixtape shyt was dope as well. I feel since then it's just been super hit or miss
But artist change, grow, fall off and everything in between
So you prolly right. His glory days are behind him
But from those albums I listed and all the previous shyt from him solo early on
And then the Gmaab shyt the ABN shyt. Dudes legacy is cemented
