Your favorite artist who "fell off"

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

I f***s with Lupe Fiasco and still do to this day in listening to these albums. His style was fire and different and I thought he was always going have some shit releasing but after the cool he just fell off. Lasers was okay but it wasn't touching his previous two albums and after lasers he was sort of done. 

Which artist you liked that sort of "fell off"

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Aerosmith. They're career went this so.

Debut album. Even with two classics on it but it's just meh.
Second album. Eh.
Third album...now we're looking good. Excellent.
Rocks is one of the best rock albums of the 70's.

Then about 15 years of suck. 89 Pump comes out is awesome.

All down hill from there. Their last album was just embarrassing.

I'll second Lupe. I still listen to his older stuff, which I think is great.

Mase is someone I adored as a kid, but his return was one little cared about.

It was strange seeing him rap "clean" when his appeal to me was that he was a lot tamer than all the other rappers that were around during that time.

[Knailsic From Now On]

As much as I love them The Who, if they were to announce a new album this very second I'd just say "Oh." and would listen to it whenever.

Slayer and Megadeth immediately come to mind. Neither band have put out anything worth a damn in years (I'd argue Megadeth has only had one great album in 'Rust in Peace'), but I'm still interested when they put out a new album.

If you look at how bland and by the numbers both bands are now, it shouldn't be a surprise why Metallica ended up being the biggest of the big 4. They had the sense and the talent not to get in the mindset that every album had to sound a certain way. Because of that, there's always big interest around how each album is going to sound. With Megadeth and Slayer you more or less know what you're going to get before you even press play. I'd also put Anthrax ahead of Slayer and Megadeth when it comes to the Big 4 for the same reason: They usually sound fresh on each album.

People did like welcome back and breath, stretch, shake tho. Where it went wrong was when he became part of G-Unit

I've never fully understood what happened with Pat Benatar. Between 1979 and around 1984-85, she was hitting it out of the park with great album after great album, huge single after huge single, with something like 12-15 songs hitting the Top 40 in the span of 6 years. And then nothing. I mean, she did some albums here and there afterward, but never got even close to that level again. Never really figured out what went wrong there.

I know that this guy was reviled, but I remember that I liked Kid Rock when I was a lot younger. I basically stopped caring for his stuff when he started rapping a lot less to just only singing. Don't get me wrong, he is not a bad singer, but I actually liked him better as a rapper.

Even without Steven Page, The Barenaked Ladies need a mainstream comeback. Was just jamming to some of their stuff, and they've recently collaborated and jammed with the acapella group, "The Persuasions." It's pretty dope.

[Clash, Never a Meter Maid]

I still rock Lupe. Drogas Light is actually a really fun album.

Man, I always bring up Lupe when having this discussion. Food and Liquer was super dope, but The Cool... Man, the cool is one of my favorite albums ever. Since then he has not dropped anything listenable.

You didn't like Get A Grip or Nine Lives? Those are awesome albums I thought. I still have my version of Get A Grip where the album cover is actually furry cow print.

She started going in more of a pop direction, which turned off the fans of her more hard-rocking stuff (ie, Heartbreaker). Problem was, the pop fans could never really gravitate toward her either. Havent heard much of her post-80s material, but from what i've heard it's got more of a blues-rock sound, which is fine for what it is, but a far cry from the older stuff.

Food and Liquor was odee dope but The Cool was on some other level. That's some shit that will never get old and can always vibe to. I actually think as far as commercial success Lasers was most successful or at least the song with him and Trey put him on the top 40 list for the first time but Lasers didn't have the same vibes after the first two albums. All those years off took something away imo

Yeah, IMO they fell off with Just Push Play, though Honkin on Bobo is pretty good, and even the new album has a few killer tunes (Street Jesus, Beautiful)

I dunno, I would think Hip Hop Saved My Life would HAVE to be his biggest song, followed by Superstar, both off the Cool. That has to be his biggest album ever.

I love his flow on Dumb It Down.

Also, they put on an AMAZING show. If you ever get a chance to see them, do so.

I don't disagree with you there I meant as far as the numbers go. If I'm not mistaken Lasers was his first album to debut at number one
