Dark Lane

& American Gangster

EDIT: quality wise I mean. Kingdom Come was the highest selling hip hop album of 06

Cudi's career was on the brink after Speeding Bullet 2 Heaven but this put it back on track and I think his music career wouldn't be where it is rn if is wasn't for this album. And rehab helped too for sure

The Pale Emperor

tetsuo

More of the singles but Legendary by Tyga resulted in the biggest 180 in reception I’ve seen in my lifetime

true indeed

I wouldn’t say “revived” because of their status in the industry but Random Access Memories.

Human After All was received quite poorly across the board with an average of 57. Following the legendary Discovery, the robots were criticized for a more one dimensional approach. It wasn’t until they performed it live that the album got its flowers.

Memories blew them up to new heights internationally with hit singles, critical acclaim and countless accolades.

TLOP is not that

? It was quiet for hov before that?

Lupe Fiasco - Tetsuo & Youth

Eminem - Recovery

100% was

Stillmatic

Don't think his career needed reviving after Yeezus despite how divisive it was
