lotta times when an artist blows up from a stellar initial project they're unable to reproduce the vibe of their debut and spend the rest of their career attempting to recapture the magic they had from the jump and/or the artist takes their music in different albeit worse directions

examples:
live.love.asap - asap rocky
partynextdoor - partynextdoor
illmatic - nas

who else?

Fam reword that title

no i like it

CHANCE THE RAPPER

We already have a sophmore slump thread on the first page no?

thought about him but if we're talkin about 10 day as his debut then its not the case. if we're talkin about acid rap then yes

also I wouldn’t include rocky in this list

this is different

Obviously we’d be talking about acid rap

Acid rap to coloring book is pretty good

significant downgrade imo but still solid

ALLA is Rocky’s best project

strongly disagree

50 Cent - GRODT

Maybe Kid Cudi? Even now he teases Man on the Moon 3 when the first two were great.

this is a good example

IP ban for OP for those examples.

do you have any alternative examples

Yachty off the top of my head.

if any of yall post nas

read op, out

travis scott rodeo

whats a better nas project than illmatic
