Everyone loves it when their favorite artist delivers an awesome album because it either catches everyone by surprise or affirms all the expectations that were heaped on to them. What makes it all the more special is that it rarely actually happens. Whether it’s a career derailing debut or a telling slip-up from a rap veteran, disappointing albums come in all shapes and sizes. But rest assured, the more albums you make, the more likely you are to make a dud.

There is one key distinction to make. All bad albums are not disappointing and all disappointing albums are not bad. Sometimes you expect an artist to suck and they do, other times you expect so much that something good isn't good enough.

There are certain things that make an album a letdown. Maybe the album had a star-studded lineup and didn't deliver? Maybe it came after a streak of excellence and just couldn’t compare to recent highlights? Maybe fans thought the artist sold out? No matter the reason, disappointing albums sting. To cope with the pain we associate with our favorite MC’s blunders, we compiled the 15 Most Disappointing Rap Albums of the Last 5 Years.

Not even on there.

thought cole world and cruel summer were decent

and wasn't really anticipating the rest

and that's when he was low key runnin shit on the hood side of things...right before Ross' reign, and after Jeezy/T.I's reign.

He was one of the MAIN, main artists where you basically gotta let him be him. You can't force it to make him more commercial or mainstream, cause it ain't gon work as it did with Jeezy/T.I./Ross. Putting him with Usher and Swizz and making those horrid tracks ain't work at alllll. He didn't even have strong hood singles like "Go head" or "Freaky girl" as he did before these albums.

Even have gone as far to stick up for Lasers to some degree but I still have never been excited to hear his album.

I liked The Cool as well but there's just something about him that keeps him from making the quality music that he should.

... and it was. Cole World was supposed to be what GKMC was, and it wasn't.

I disagree with Till The Casket Drops, but otherwise, on point.

But I was HOPING it would be good. Hoping for a an @ least solid effort, best case scenario being a triumphant comeback (knew that wasn't gonna happen)... but not only was it less than stellar it was DOO DOO ...

Like LL fell ALLLLLLLLLLLL the way the hell off ... and what's sad is that he can still rap pretty damn well w/ the right beat/song ... but his sheeit is just awful ... the bonus EP showed what potential he had to make a solid LP ...
