    The Moon Man Out of my mind

    Jul 28, 2020
    I was just replaying the Adventures of B. O. B and it reminded me how badly he fell off. Anything from 2014 onwards was seriously trash by comparison to his debut. Kendrick also didn't impress me much with to p---- a butterfly. Revival is also on this list.

    What other albums were letdowns?

    A personal dream collab that was rushed and could have been a million times better.

    I don't even remember that album. So, yeah, totally fits the criteria.

    Agree with BOB. But Strange Clouds was great. He's had some great songs past that and his mixtape game in the middle run was top notch but album wise, he fell off hard.
    Psychodelic Thoughts and his most recent were a welcome return to form though. At least he tries something completely different with each of his albums.

    I remember Underground Luxury having a couple gems but beyond that, I really gave up hope on him. The first one was a masterpiece. What a d--- shame.

    Relapse comes to mind.

    I was a big Wiz fan in high school, so ONIFC was also a let down.

    B.o.B was top tier pop rap for his first two albums and the mixtapes in between, but went off the deep end ever since

    Til the Casket Drops - it's not terrible—there's some great tracks on there, but it just doesn't reach the heights of HHNF or Lord Willin' or even some of the mixtapes.

    Jesus is King. It was so disappointing hearing all the leaks that had potential for him to turn things around post-ye and then seeing him turn them into that.

    4 Real 4 Real - Again, not terrible and there's some good stuff on there, but it doesn't come close to the peaks of his first two albums or even those on Stay Dangerous.

    I don't know it Kanye will ever pull it back now. Its so sad.

    Relapse was incredible to me. Still is. The moment we got survival followed by the MMLP2 logo, we knew we were in for some bad times.

    It has to be Relapse in 2009.
    I was 18 & big Eminem fan at the time really looking forward to him coming back.

    Crack a Bottle was ok. But We Made You was a complete disgrace. Hugely hyped I never known a single with so much anticipation to be so bad.
    Then each week more trash until Beautiful.
    The album had a few good songs but a huge letdown.

    B.o.B had so much potential. He was like a mega rap star back in 2010 with a couple of worldwide hits. I don’t know what happened with that guy. Drugs I suppose

    I never understood why this wasn't on the album. Man, I loved it when he went beyond rap.

    d--- I didn’t know Larry Nasir dropped a mixtape before he hit prison. Good for him. I’ll have to check it out even if you think it’s a letdown.

    MMLP and TES. Also Kamikaze was very lackluster coming off of Revival. Definitely expected more.

    Kingdom Come. Hov's big comeback, followup to the monumental Black Album, and it ended up being his consensus worst album
