I feel like his rut was PRE-2012, like maybe 2003ish through 2012. He was doing that same sort of stop and go beat, with empty space. Everything was the same formula.

Since 2012 ? Hell no. He's dropped a TON of gems. PRhyme. The beat for Documentary 2 for Game. Etc. He was on fire in like 2013, 2014, and 2015.

Since then I think it's been more hit and miss again. But in that early aughts time period he was dropping banger after banger. PRhyme (the first one) alone deads any "Preem lost it" argument, IMO.
