You know first hand, RBX was not nearly as quick and spry on his raps for your album as he was back on the Chronic. He was much slower, slurred his words. But hey, he's 35 years older, what do you expect?
It's not about hunger or drive...it's more about mental aging. People just aren't as quick on their feet when they get up in their 50's, 60's and 70's. They slow down.

i think it really depends on hunger and will
because rapping isn't a physical sport .. u could technically rap great for as long as you can speak great
but what tends to happen with most rappers is that they lose a sense of hunger once they reach a certain point
that's why jelly roll won best new artist at 40 years old .. because it was all new to him and he had never really done anything notable prior to that, so the hunger and passion was still there

lyricism has gone the opposite way since the 90s...it has been severely dumbed down so much so in fact that people actually think that Kendrick is an elite MC :-[

Alot of rapper have. Even in the battle rap community. I wont bother with a list because it will just lead to my opinion versus your argument. Nas being the pinnacle of lyricism is a industry narrative.

So RBX wasn't hungry anymore when he made his last album, noting that he's slowed down lyrically? Since you are saying it isn't due to age, but moreso drive, passion and hunger?
But then in an earlier post, you said RBX gave his all and tried as hard as he could and you wouldn't work with someone who didn't give their all. Seems like two contradictory perspectives, would love to hear your thoughts.

you're conflating two things
hunger is not something u can force, no matter how hard u try
u can give it your all but still lack that natural relentlessness that you had back in your youth
some people retain that hunger forever .. but typically what happens to people is that they lose that edge with age
it's not a physical thing, it's a spiritual thing
for instance, in sports, you are 100% going to decline physically .. no way around it
in music, drive tends to subside with age, but a select few do retain that drive forever
hunger is not something you consciously decide to have .. it comes from within
