[@lowdown1904]

[@thefearofg0ds758]

I actually just had this convo with a friend of mine. Nas is really the only one left from his era still consistently doing this ish. Everyone else has either sadly passed on or are just not really releasing music. DMX, Prodigy, Pun, Pac, BIG(passed). The only ones from The Wu still putting stuff out are Ghost, Meth and Rae and neither have dropped in years. AZ finally dropped Doe or Die II after 13 years of silence but I believe he said that was his final album. I think it's best to just forget ever getting muisc from either Big Boi or(ESPECIALLY) Andre 3K at this point. 50 stopped making music a LONG time ago. Em hasn't dropped since 2020 and honestly hasn't been himself(musically) really since MMLP2 and has been using that bullshit robotic crossword puzzle flow since he grew that beard. And Jay-Z, his biggest rival hasn't dropped since 2017. Nas really is the last one left. It's kind of sad.

[@DannyP-dm1pw]

AZ kept dropping other albums in between and I think another 1 since part II but I get you. Look at Wu Tang Clan. I'm from Shaolin but Wu fell off decades ago and ride the past for kids today. Always preferred Nas and AZ as a kid.
