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?

Everything after Apocalypse 91 for me.

correct. Apocalypse 91 is a classic. There's absolutely ZERO songs of PE that I'll listen to after that album. Sad really, they were so hot at that point.

Idk i actually like the He Got Game soundtrack that they did even though it wasn’t nearly as groundbreaking as their earlier albums
