This results in a number of all-time great rappers having a demerit or two on their resume. Being that you're only as good as your last hit, artists rarely get a pass to drop a lackluster album, regardless of their stature. However, even the most reliable artists have been known to turn in an album that leaves more to be desired, whether in terms of lyrics, production, concepts or other extraneous circumstances. These artists take great pride in living up to expectations that the fans and critics bestow upon them, carrying the burden like a badge of honor. A great album can also be an outlier for an artist who happened to strike lightning once and could never recapture that magic, but those who are able to rise to the occasion time and time again are held in the highest esteem. However, those who do find themselves in that realm all have one thing in common: multiple albums that are deemed classic that stand the test of time. Plenty of rappers are here today, gone tomorrow, and have ultimately ended their careers without reaching the upper echelon of the game. Building a lasting legacy in hip-hop is no small feat and takes time, skill and a focused attention on the details.
