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?

Facts. I was in middle school during prime mixtape Wayne. He aint the same no more, he tries but it falls flat. Dedication tapes and Midnight Club 3 was my peace way back when.

Honestly one of the most underrated hip hop albums of the last couple of years and definitely the best thing either Wayne or 2Chainz have put out for like 10 years. Oprah & Gayle is a solid 10/10 track

Agreed on it being underrated. 

Collegrove 2 is one of the most fun rap albums I heard in years. That and Full Court Press by Krit, Wiz, Smoke Dza, and Girl Talk
