Best albums by rappers over 40?
« on: December 25, 2023, 02:19:56 AM »
This came up in another thread about Kurupt and how come he's failed in his many attempts to make a comeback album.  I was thinking about the best albums by rappers over the age of 40.  What ya'll think?

-Dre was able to make a great comeback album with COMPTON
-Nas was still putting out solid albums all the way through Life Is Good was solid
-Eminem had that great comeback with MMLP and "Guts Over Fear"
-Xzibit had a very worthy comeback album with NAPALM
-Sticman of Dead Prez reinvented himself with the great RBGFitClub workout albums along with Coach Nym
-I really liked the Snoop Lion Project Snoop did when he was around 40.

Who am I forgetting that had a great comeback around 40 or post 40?

For real?!

Nas got a 6 album run with hit boy.

Black thought got an album this year and last year too.

Run the jewels is the best thing in rap in the last decade.

U really aint know, listen any of these?!?!?!?!

I respect you as an O.G. at the forum but we've always had a difference of opinion on this.  You are always checking for new music–whereas—I'm always digging for past gems. 

So no, I don't like any of those albums you mentioned.  The only one I listened to a little bit was the Nas one with the track "Death Row East" I gave that one a couple spins.

What about the ones I posted do you agree with those? 

And what about Kurupt, do you agree he hasn't had a good album since Space Boogie?

Nas is the only one I can think of who I listen to currently

I too rather find some old 90s music that I didnt really listen to back then

as for Kurupt Against The Grain had some pretty decent production but Kurupt was a shell of his former self...Streetlights was his last album and I haven't really played it since it dropped in 2010

Kurupt burned out. He drank too much.

Napalm is good. But for the fans it aint a real come back. Not on restless level.

Compton is a good album,but far away from chronic.and  miles from 2001, so cant considered as come back.

Nas aint went nowhere. He release albums continuesly so he aint need to come back. Like ll cool j.  ;D

Eminem same.

Neva checkd that stic.man album to be honest.

Napalm of course isn't Restless level but for a rapper over 40 I think it's one of the best all time Over 40 albums.  I think Napalm is better than any of the Nas albums post Good Life in 2012. 

Compton you can say is not Chronic level and not 2001 level but saying it's MILES away I disagree.  I think it was classic and up to Dre's gold standard of quality.

Eminem I don't like any of his recent albums I just like the stuff he was doing in that "Guts Over Fear", "Beautiful Pain" MMLP2 era I really liked the sound he was going with during that time period, like "Legacy", "Stronger Than I Was" those types of songs were great along with the others like "Groundhog Day" and "Brainless" were spectacular.

yeah... that's definitely me on the track.. I just don't mention it much because I want to make it on my own and not riding Kurupt's coat tails...  They wanted to sign me but they wouldn't let me keep my publishing and Suge taught me how important the publishing is.  The deal Kurupt had landed me with Sony would've given me a million up front and then a million album budget but I told Clive Davis to fucc off that if he ain't gonna let me keep my publishing then I'm not here to be anybodies slave.
