Good news- there really is nothing good to report. All the rappers that were hot when you went in the coma became bigget and have fallen off. Only sliver of hope is out of the music that has dropped in the last 20 years, you find some new rappers to be fans of. Well, Kanye and Wayne are still sort of a thing, but are so far removed from how you remember them, they will probably seem like new artists to you. When you get to Nas's catalog, you may discover just how long you were comatose. When you went in the coma, he had six albums plus Lost Tapes. Since then he's dropped like 15 projects. There's some real gems in there especially Life Is Good and the last six albums.

Bad news- just to prove how my point of how you may be disappointed in the rappers that were hot: T.I. became a comedian. The biggest thing 50 Cent has been a part of since GRODT is making hit shows on cable television. Lil' Scrappy and Diamond from Crime Mob are now on a reality television series. Trick Daddy is too. Ludacris moved on to acting. Dr. Dre finally dropped another album, but it wasn't Detox. Jay Z came out of retirement. That sounds good on paper, but out of the albums he dropped only American Gangster is great. The rest range from good to average to wack.

Bad news- Rappers have gotten more fruitier and it's no longer to cool to wear baggy clothes

Suge Knight got 28 years in prison, might is well say he got life. Karma for paying that dude to smack Dre.

Kanye went full c00n and went to the darkside.

Jadakiss annihilated the whole Dipset allnthe way to their boss to their lieutenant down to their mascot

Mobb Deep broke up, reunited, and then P died in Las Vegas not even by bullets like Pac did but a damn egg

Good news-

50 Cent makes TV shows for the Starz network nowadays

Ma$e and Cam squashed their beef and made a show on YouTube called "It Is What It Is".

Papoose finally released Nacirema Dream

Good news - u can go on YouTube and listen to the shyt starting from 2004

Bad news the music will hit different starting in 2010

2010 wasn't a bad time...

Gucci Mane had created a cult following and the producers went on to do big things

We still had the Stupid Fruity Swag era too

Blog era started to pop off

Curren$y and Wiz were releasing shyt every damn week




Who would have thought that Rick Ross would go from checking butts for illegal contraband to running the game though?

Crazy how he was running the game while T.I, Wayne, and Gucci were away on baby bids.

Boosie got locked up and only had to do 5 years. Came home in 2014 !!

Gucci Mane was locked up for 3 and half years. Came home in 2016

40 Glocc became a rat after he got whipped by Game

Game would end up owing a chick 7 million after fingering her Privates on VH1.


R. Kelly beat the case involving the little girl and was acquitted but all of a sudden, they got him on some OJ SHYT with the Mann Act.

Good news: Joe Budden has his own podcast now.

Good news: Lil Nas X came out as the first gay rapper so kudos to him for not hiding in the closet like some punks in the industry

Bad news: Akademiks went from a dude who reported on stories from Chicago rappers to being a dweeb

Meek Mill still ain't put down his phone yet

Young Buck got caught chucking roofers in the hotel

When did Ross run the game? One Plat plaque that took him a decade?

Ross ran the game from 2010-2012,

Buzz fizzled down that GDs situation though.

Rich Forever shouldn't have been a mixtape either.
