Rappers That Retired With A Classic/Great Album

[Busta Carmichael]

These rappers haven't oficially retired.

Just rappers that left the game/lazy or tired to make another effort.

We can all agree that Hov left the game on a good note with Black album. And then he did it again with 4:44.

Wouldn't feel right if mchg was his last effort.

Which rappers left the game with a last dope album?

 

[Goldie]

Do Pac and Biggie count?

 

[Busta Carmichael]

We all can agree that if Revival is em's last album, he left on a bad note.

He could've left on a good note after encore even if the album was trash. He had 3 critically acclaimed albums behind it.

 

[Goldie]

I was just thinkin to myself yesterday, Outkast arguably put out 5 straight classics and ended it with a dud. They need to make that shit up.

 

[Goldie]

Life Is Good is a potential classic, I wouldn't call it a classic today tho. It's a great album tho.

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Do Pac and Biggie count?

yes they do.

was about to say. I had them and Jay in mind when I thought of the thread.

LAD and 7 day theory are both classics. Pac and Big left on a good note

 

[Busta Carmichael]

Tribe left on a good note

nah man it was all over the place. Dre used to have his own style even if he had ghostwriters.

Now he did his best kendrick impression and you couldn't even tell who he was on the tracks. Beats were clean but weren't no stand out beats like last album

"xplosive
next episode
still dre
forgot about dre
fuck you
whats the difference
the watcher"

all those songs mentioned had a unique rememberable beat and hook.

Even verses.

I did the gym test on Compton and it was aiit. Never played that shit again.

This was supposed to be Detox fam
..... Detox

Compton was AIGHT... but the bar is set too high.

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Cube

Cube in my top 5 but he ain't really got it no more. Not an whole album anyway. If he stopped after War & Peace he would've had a hellva run.

 

[Goldie]

The only songs I still play from Compton are "Just Another Day" and "For The Love of Money"

Same here, been rocking with cube forever but I think it's his flow.

He needs to get a ghost writer . Some young west coast producers and switch his style up.

bleek went out on top.....

Just another day hook is classic Dre. Sounded like a modern 2001.

All tracks should've been like that.

Dre's engineering skills are still goat. Beats and vocals were clean.

 

[Duwop]

which reminds me, since detox is never coming out......

dre retired on a classic
