Feb 15, 2021Honestly it's only a few rappers where people obsess over their discog having to be close to perfect. Esp older rappers, nobody gives af if Ice Cube is putting out bad albums now, it's expected. He still made a run with three of the greatest albums ever in a row. Save for like, the song Accidental Racist, nobody is giving LL Cool J s--- about his modern output lol. Like I said above too, who cares what DMX releases unless its good. Snoop is still a legend even though he's had tremendous highs and lows after Doggystyle. Even 50, do people really care that his discog after GRODT starts declining? Obv not a good thing but no one is obssessing over it.
Only really like Dre, Em, Jay, Kanye, Kendrick, Drake are people who are really like obsessing over every bad album in their discogs.

Jay-Z imo. Post-03 Jay has his two weakest albums.
Eminem ofc would be much closer to Jay in this universe.
Don't think his later work has affected DMX's legacy that much.Ordinary Joel, Chrollo, hargydon and 1 other person like this. -

If Jay retired after the Black Album, Em retired after Cheers(Obie's album), or DMX retired after Grand Champ, who do you think will have the best legacy in hip hop out of the 3?Ordinary Joel, Sav Stanfield, Chrollo and 1 other person like this. -

Jay. Pretty much flawless till 2003.
Em very close though maybe even tied.
I'm glad they didn't tho because even if they released some average / bad stuff that might 'hurt' their legacy it also gave us music like WTT, MTBMB and lots of dope songs and features.
Not really up to date w dmx so dunno about himOrdinary Joel, Chrollo and RetiredAccount like this.
