[thatboyd1zz]

2chainz but i got me a few onnnnnn

 

[Word....Life]

Yeah….i was thinking 2 Chainz too…since he’s been named….

I’m gonna go wit’ Prince Rakeem aka Tha Rza

He went from bein’ just another obscure MC makin’ trash ass early 90’s mainstream soundtrack music to assembling tha greatest hip-hop group of all time and producin’ some of hip-hop’s greatest music

 

[Duwop]

50 and Rick Ross

50 came out on a onyx track that I actually liked.... But did nothing for him... Years later he blew up....

Ross same thing... Dude has a whole throw away career with slip n slide. Yet came back out like it never happened.

 

[Don Dada]

When Jay Z went at Nas after his mom died.

Best ive ever seen from any artist tbh.

I dont say this becuz Nas my favorite its just the truth

 

[Chi-Town B]

Gotta be LL Cool J, had the 80's on lock went and did tv and movies and came back after reinventing himself mid 90's

 

[5 Grand]

Jay Z

When I heard Ether and then SupaUgly I thought his career was over.

But he came back with The Black Album.

Jay Z

Lol you conveniently skipped over the trash BP2 album.

Yeah when he came back with 'GOAT' it was crazy... To some it was their first introduction to LL...

 

[Water Ur Seeds]

Will Smith coming back out as a solo act too...

 

[Lab Baby]

Jay Z

When I heard Ether and then SupaUgly I thought his career was over.

But he came back with The Black Album.

BP2 is criminally underrated. I hated Jay back then, but he earned my respect. To me that was his comeback album, especially the title track. That 2nd disc is some of his best music ever.

 

[crunchy]

Pac after he got out in 95'

 

[King Poetic]

Nas after Nastradamus.
Common after Electric Circus .
LL after Walking Panther .

 

[grYmes]

LL had a couple comebacks.

Nas after that 99-00 period came back with a vengeance.

Dr Dre could of easily faded to the background after 1996.

 

[ThaManMythLegnd]

Dre after he left Deathrow and his collabs were flopping in the late 90s. Then he drops Chronic 2, and brings out Em and 50

 

[5th Letter]

Twista in 2004

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

Jay Z

When I heard Ether and then SupaUgly I thought his career was over.

But he came back with The Black Album.

Do y'all MF know what a comeback is?

Why do people consider the 99-00 period from Nas to be a a down time for him when he was dropping some of his biggest records at the time mainstream wise? Jay doesn't get nearly the same criticism for dropping sub par albums following the classic that was RD.

Because those albums that Jay dropped were commercially successful. Jay was always good at making radio singles. vol 2 went 5X plat and vol 3 went 3x plat.
