Additional profiles of note include Cakes Da Killa, Big Dipper and House of Ladosha, each of whom are challenging the cultural norms of Hip Hop in today’s society.

The folks over at The Well Versed whipped up a listicle of artists who were once in their prime but are now fiending to make a comeback. Rappers to make the cut include 50 Cent and Master P, each of whom the site insists are too past their prime to stage a successful return to the spotlight. But it isn’t all negative. TWV gives the thumbs up to a few choice spitters including DMX, who just dropped his latest album Undisputed, in addition to a few other aritsts. Click the link below to see who the site thinks could have a potential resurgence.
how the hell is tech n9nes new album KABOSH not on this list?
tech n9ne? haha he has never sold more than 20-30K! how do you think is his albums are very anticipated? lol
is there no list for rap albums, cuz this shit is pop music only.
Trouble Man December 18th! Thats the one im waiting on at number 1
This is incontrovertible proof that no one gives a fuck about Pusha T or Dream. Paying audiences wanna hear Wayne and Wiz. Some of you fucking hip-hop heads are all talk. You claim Pusha T is one of the best out there and then none of you will buy his CD. Your moral support does not help Pusha buy homes, cars, planes or jewelry.
I don’t think hip-hop heads are that bothered about the dream. straw man, there 🙂

that ghostface rza stuff is the only thing i really trust
list is trully wack though jeez
Bold statement to say no hip hop album is going plat this year. Horrible year.
queer has no fucking place in hip hop just like whack khalifa
that ‘hip hop’s queer pioneers’ and the picture of wiz go together quite well
The only man people are anticipating is Ja Rule. Fuck this list.
Ja Rule is the hottest nigga in the world right now, he’s the only one who’s anticipated.
People who don’t like Ja Rule, need some Ja Rulin’ in their lives.
Ja Rule is a winner in every shape and form… Murdered rappers, made hits (still makin’ ’em), rolls with real dudes because he’s the realest.
Ja Rule is so real he thought he was gettin’ too soft and decided to go to jail for 2 years to harden up.
Ja Rule too real for these faggots.
Ja Rule slayed every single rapper he had beef with.
50 cent killed ja rule music wise and bank acount wise
Ja Rule should be on that list, but people hate the real deal.
Ja RUle could fuck all y’all up.
When I read the headlines I thought Wiz’s album cover was referring to Queer Rappers.
