What rapper had the biggest fall off in terms of SKILL in Hip Hop history???

[FlyGuy]

P fell off but once he morphed comfortably into his later self the music was good, even if he was rambling/not flowing well/saying outlandish lies

We can't have this post without mentioning Ice Cube and Ghostface.

If you listen to Ice Cube's first 3 projects he pretty much covers the plight of a young Black male in America from an underprivileged area, even if he wasn't necessarily underprivileged himself. Everything he talked about would end up being relevant to my life in some way. He started dumbing down on "Predator", then just seemed to run out of creative inspiration after that.

True but when he dropped that Good Cop Bad Cop song a few year back. 1st time in years I heard him spit with that much hunger in rawness in his voice like the early solo days. shyt gave me chills becaus I havent heard cube with that much bravado and pain since went solo

It's a difference between Cube yelling his lyrics just to be loud because that's his style and Cube yelling with some grit behind it. I can feel it more

if dude dropped more tracks like that I'd fukk with his music again, if he gonna keep coming with that "why bother, I'm rich" flow he can stay off the mic

I'm not too up on Kurupt, can someone give me songs from before and after his falloff so I can compare?

Wasn't shyt when he wasn't on a Dre beat and sounds like someone doing a lyrical miracle rapper impression and sprinkling in fukk at random spots

Your comments confirm that you really havent listened to his music at all. Have you heard Dogg Pounds first album?

Prodigy’s fall from grace was sad!

He was a top tier mc then he just fell of coincidentally after the Jay-Z summer jam diss.

He stopped rhyming his words. Flow was off. Subject matter! Seemed like he would only wake up over Alchemist beats.


Peace

Just saw a thread regarding Juelz Santana

Dude is definitely the Greg Oden and Kwame Brown of hiphop

 

[Kogami]

Dr. Dre.

Obviously never a top rapper but his flow/delivery in the 90's was dope. Fast forward to the Compton album and he didn't know how to rap anymore, it was embarrassing.

Wayne can still bring some heat when he wants too but Cam Prodigy and Kurupt fell off to the point that you questioned if they were on some hard drugs or was someone else writing their rhymes. I voted Kurupt cause at his best he was one of the best rappers in the world killing everything then all of a sudden he went to shyt. Prodigy and Cam were nice with it at their best but i don't think either were messing with prime Kurupt and his fall off.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Prodigy fell off but rebounded and dropped good music in his later years. Eminem fell off and can't even rap competently anymore. Em is the clear answer.
