Point being...if an artist is going to be around for a long long time I expect some shitty albums.

I'm sure James Brown has some terrible shit out there as well as Bob Dylan, Aretha, etc

comes with the territory.

Have we had a rapper with a long career put out brilliant albums then shitty albums then more good shit eventually?

I'm thinking maybe Ghostface. He has a lot of good and a lot of "meh" shit out there
