Forgot to mention other regions really start pushing their own complete artists and ignoring 50's new music. The south had TI, Jeezy, Wayne, etc making far better radio records than 50.
IIRC the last "big" 50 record was I Get Money (2007). And that was kind of a regional pride thing in NY, similar to Beamer Benz Bentley and the last few "big" NY records around 2007-2010. Post ringtone rap era, pre Drake/Cole/Kendrick. What an ugly time for rap music...

You reacted like cheese is a bad thing, breh. Take it from a BioShock fan.
Ready to listen to that Shady Blaze+Farrar collaboration (Kill Or Be Killed). Better late than never.
I remember the 50 vs. Ye thing that was going on. I thought there was no way Graduation could sell more copies than Curtis, because 50 was SO HUGE at the time. I remember the weekend The Massacre dropped, I heard eight different tracks off of the album in a half-hour span, because every car that passed by as I walked through the neighborhood was playing that shit. Yeezy seemed like such an underdog at that point, but Graduation ended up outperforming Curtis, because everyone started to feel fatigue at the same time.
As everyone else said, he really stagnated as an artist. He was very limited in terms of vocabulary and subject matter, and Em and Dre, his biggest reasons for success, quickly became far less active after GRODT.

All this plus he just burned too many bridges on the way up and when he got there man. Made way too many enemies and ppl that would sweat less if he fell.
As my grandma used to say, higher monkey climb the more his ass exposed.
Bless up.

I remember the whole lox and 50 beef, people thought 50 was going to get shot again. He was beasting at the time.

Wow, The Hurt is where "Electric Charge Coming From The Main frame" comes from...
Gotta admit that Birds In The Trap is probably my guilty pleasure album of 2016; the production on some tracks, catchy hooks and simple flows pull me back again and again
Someone ready to share something shameful as well or nah
You're right. I put it in my Top 5 of 2016. I got shot down for it. Enzo enjoys this too. The album is way, way better after subsequent listens. Great production and great flows and hooks.
Fucking fire!! Mad, mad energy. The track in the second part of the video is crazy as well.
Yeah right.
Enzo enjoys every dogshit thing Travis releases even when it turns out to be somehow worse than the last.
Big Boi Announces That His Third Solo Album Is Complete
Still, haven't really listened to his solo albums and the Big Grams one yet. How are they?

RTJ is Dark Souls ca. 2012. There's this constant need to mention them in every hip-hop related thread regardless of relevance. It doesn't make them appreciate less but holy shit is it annoying.
dope man

the king continues.
What cave? He's been pretty busy just not under the spooky moniker
not really. he switched his name to corbin and then dropped practically nothing
the last thing he put out was this tape with bobby raps. that was june 2015

So not doing something for a year is hiding in a cave?
dude was putting stuff out left and right when he first showed up and then went completely radio silent

been having trouble sleeping lately so this is a godsend
It seems he was focused on shows and doing an album with schlomo last year. So not releaaing whatever piece of shit that crosses your hard drive is hardly hiding in a cave.
But kid koala has more talent than Frank in his pinky. Y U shocked?
