    The fall from grace was just intense.

    I know everyone disses Eminem for falling off, but DMX fell off with life...

    He literally looks like your average crack head on the corner...

    As far as in his prime? I didn't feel like DMX was a great lyricist, but man he made great music.

    I loved his first 4 albums. He was extremely popular in the late 90's and early 00's.

    I think Eminem stole a ton of his thunder though, but pre-Eminem, DMX was at the top of the game, EASILY.

    Eminem might not be the rapper he was, and might be awkward, but at least he's sober, rich and doing well for himself.

    DMX is an absolute mess...

    Saying Wayne had a "weak run" is an understatement though. From like 2008 to 2013 the dude struggled to put out even a decent project.

    Ja Rule, Canibus, Shyne, G-Unit, Bobby Schmurda, Kreayshawn, Houston, Ma$e & 40 Glocc are excellent contenders for this thread.

    I don't see how DMX is not everyone's answer.

    He's literally the ONLY choice that makes sense.

    Canibus was never ON.

    Mase was very popular, but he went into something he liked doing, and he's doing well for himself.

    No one anyone lists will have had the star power or success that DMX had in his prime. There's no way.

    DMX was Eminem before Eminem came along.

    DMX was on EVERYTHING. Any popular hip hop album at the time had a DMX feature on it.

    I don't care who you name off... From 97-99, DMX was hands down the most popular rapper.

    2000-03, he wasn't AS popular as Eminem, but still was dropping number 1 albums, and was still popular.

    NO ONE IN RAP has fallen off as hard as DMX. NOBODY.

    He legit had it all.

    5 number 1 platinum records, respect, Ruff Ryders Label (respected too, with Swizz Beats, LOX and Eve), and starred in movies...

    Now he's a crack head bum who is ALWAYS getting arrested. He has a networth of NEGATIVE 10 MILLION lol.

    He goes beyond falling off music-wise.

    If we're talking rappers who had a great run and fell the f--- off then Nelly, DMX, and Ja Rule come to mind.

    If we're talking biggest L then I think of the Kanye/Taylor Swift incident, Ma$e and his Pastor shtick, 50 Cent losing the sales battle with Kanye ..
    and that picture of Lil Wayne and Birdman kissing is on a whole other level of [​IMG] :drake5:

    Meh. He went from dropping fuego mixtapes and albums to just having a few gems per project for a few years. That's not really that big of a fall off, that's just a really disappointing weak run imo

    Keep in mind I'm not super into Wayne I've only heard C3 NC and S4TW2

    Well he only has 3. 2 GOAT albums, 1 GOAT mixtape, and one decent mixtape hardly constitute taking an L

    Term-X relevant.

    Yea, this was the final nail in the coffin for Canibus, he took the biggest L in rap history; completely destroyed and humiliated.

    Even then doesn't he just have that one meh WZRD album? Two mediocre albums and a decent mixtape still don't qualify as taking an L
