Okay now, I started some "research" if u will....on Hip Hop artist's worst efforts....
ok now I started with Eminem since he is my favorite artist at the moment
Ive been listening to Encore lately and yeah its his worst effort no doubt
But why do we look as MCs worst efforts as "garbage"?
Just because its considered the artist's worst effort doesnt mean it overall sucked. I enjoyed Encore to be quite honest now that I go back and listen to it
but yet their worst album gets shunned.....Is that fair?

yes it is fair, just think about nastradamus. the mc is usually either trying to do something different on their album or else they just straight up got lazy, so yeah it kinda shows their character

But u said it shows their character and that it is their fault
How can an artist expand if theyre too scared to make a brick?
If u make too many bricks then thats when the problem comes in

Effort makes the album, and if the effort fails, the album fails (I'm not talking about Encore, I just mean in general), and it really shows how much work or care this person is really putting into their career.

Because I'm cool like dat. I'm chill like dat. I'm peace like dat.

they up their game rather than going to a different style. why would you make something if you thought it was going to suck?

But if was going to be a real wack style, what the point in making it?

labels promote, the artist does the art. He should be the judge of his work

Not true

Canibus went from Rip the Jacker to Hip Hop 4 Sale

AZ went from The Format to Undeniable
