That's the thing about being a good lyricist: you can always have a second wind or a new great project because ultimately you'll always have the CHANCE to say some new shit in a cool new way. If you catch a new producer or new wave, you good.
This is why Black Thought is having the best individual run of his career despite being at the game for 20 years. He can rap.
Jay-Z makes mostly awful albums now but he'll always get a spin because ultimately Jay can rap.
Curren$y is entirely style and mood. He is not a very good rapper. And the when the act wears thin, he's sorta done.
