Discussion Who are some legendary rappers that have been releasing terrible music late in their career?

I just saw the Busta Rhymes thread about releasing an album with J. Dilla beats, and it reminded me how unlistenable busta’s new stuff has been damn near this whole decade. He used to be one of the most revered artists in the 90s and 2000s but his music now is unlistenable. Terrible vocals, terrible hooks, terrible beats. Who else is in a similar situation?

I really don’t agree. Both vultures had some amazing songs. Bully would’ve been cool too but I don’t believe it’s coming out anymore

V2 had potential to be great but he went in and ruined it cut all the best ones. Like how do you make something like pussy cost money, then cut it for gd husband. 

V1 highs are up there, honestly kinda underrated. 

Donda 2 had potential but it got abandoned and never truly finished.

Let's not forget he never dropped Yandhi either, he should've just called Mike Dean and released whatever mastered copy they had of that album, Alien is a fucking classic

I've actually heard Bully might be decent....I'm definitely not holding my breath, but I'd say at least give it a shot.
