Pharrell, Nas, Pusha, Thought, Common, Jigga: these are what I think of when it comes to consistency, top-tier.
Wayne, T.I, 50 Cent, Em just had a great 6-7 year run.
Kanye was always crazy but lost his f***ing mind after his mom passed and he decided to married a Kardashian
First couple you mention also had their stinkers tho
And are more 'safe' artists in general compared to the others
I think that Wayne no longer has the ability to create fresh ideas of his own
He murders features because the other artist already creates the perfect stage for him and he is a rapping genius so he just does what he does but left to his own devices he clearly has no f***ing clue what to do with himself in the studio smh
Also I think that even though he’s obviously aware that he’s a goat I don’t think he truly understands WHY people consider him a goat and what was so special about his rapping and music in his prime… it almost feels as if he thinks he’s a goat for the sake of it, like it’s a tenure thing or a hits thing or a fame thing and it’s like nahhh bro that ain’t why we call you the goat man lol….
He just doesn’t get it and it’s sad as a fan
"It sucks because as he keeps dropping more mid, his legacy will be tainted in a way that most GOATS will never have to deal with"
Idk about that
A decent amount of the most legendary artists of all time spent decades making really bad-mid music
Thats just bs
His classics not suddenly gone

Nah he needs help and all the goat talk is not pushing him to seek said help.
Be it Drake, Metro, s*** even Westside Gunn, he needs some creative direction. Lose the dreads, and kill all that 00s/10s production. Because if I see another tattooed baby Tunchi, a split face album cover or hear Will.i.am on another feature I’m boycotting lmao
I mean just listen to the man talk now. Does he sound like someone who can make a cohesive song anymore? His brain is just totally fried at this point. It’s not even like an older artist trying to keep up with trends and sounding out of place (like Busta Rhymes blockbusta album as an example) but you can still see the train of thought they have. Wayne just says gibberish half the time now, it’s not even coherent all the time.

Someone put a pusha acapella on Elephants and put it on the leak site saying it’s the OG version and watch those nerds lose their minds calling it high art
I don’t even like Welcome to tha carter
Genuinely only good tracks are Flex Up and Loki’s Theme
Yep
And Flex Up is hard to listen to due to his delivery
Sorry Wayne, this run on sentence flow on Flex Up aint it
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFB_0eYwp6cif Pusha or Kendrick rapped over it people would think it's the greatest beat of all time
Idk man this is just such an awkward listen. What happened to well executed concepts and creative songs. It’s like he ran out of ideas and just churns out songs cuz he still thinks he’s GOAT
This is the type of beat JPEGAMAFIA would make and rap on
That’s the messed up part. It’s not that people don’t like the beat, they would praise it if an “experimental” rapper did it. But they put Wayne in a box
what are the consensus best songs itt so far
Welcome to Carter and Written History
