Worst comeback albums

Some rappers were better off in the oblivion they fell in instead of tryna make a comeback.

Wreck-N-Effect--"Rumpshaker" was their last claim to fame, the album was wack

Ultramagnetic MCs-Best Kept Secret-Just terrible

DOC--that voice is not cutting it

Are you saying the album with Rumpshaker is wack, or the albums that followed is wack?

that Wreckx-N-Effect album Hard Or Smooth was their best album easily Trotter what are you talking about?? lol...Teddy Riley production over some smooth lyrics..that shit still bangs today...it was waaay better than their first one

anyway hmm comeback albums that should've stayed on the shelf??

Raekwon-Immobilarity
Big Daddy Kane-Prince Of Darkness
LL Cool J-Todd Smith
Kool G Rap-basically his entire solo career
Heavy D-Heavy
Outkast-Idlewild

those are some of the first ones that came to mind for me!

Yeah, Hard or Smooth is a slept on Gem IMO. Teddy Riley killed that joint.

The Love Movement

Not sure if it counts though...

Immobilarity?? Come on man! That joint was ill!

Did you all know that half of that Rumpshaker track was written by Pharrell?

Do you really think it was that good of an album?

Immobilarity is NOT a comeback album. A comeback LP is when an artist fall off or group break up than decides to take another crack at the rap game.

Immobilarity was not ill.

Ill?? huh J.Harris, ya really think so man??? I thought it was a 2 star album...I had big expectations for that one and it was damn near frisbee material for me..

And Trotter Immobilarity is a comeback album of sorts considering Rae released it 4 years after his greatest effort...he made heads wait 4 years for some BULLSHIT....add that one to the list man, sorry!

^ yea but within that time he recorded all over Ironman as well as on Wu Tang Forever, he didnt go anywhere...so i wouldnt really call it a "come back"

1) Immobilarity is a comeback album.

2) It sucked.

I'd say Outkast's Idlewild.

Hey RZA's son...it's a comeback my dude and it was HORRIBLE...it's okay man Wu-Tang is HUMAN and they make mistakes too...lol

Idlewild would not make this topic for me but I can see how it fits for others.

fair enough, i still think the album is unfairly hated on songs like Jury, Live from NY, Casablanca, The Table, Sneakers, 100 Rounds, and Real Life are damn good song...listen to them again and tell me there wack, seriously, listen to the them and the lyrics and tell me there wack.

i will say the album should have ended at Sneakers though

Co-sign. I know the beats weren't RZA-esque, but the lyrics were the definite highlight of the album. I think the majority of everyone on this post were speaking in regards to the beats. Just like Slang said, listen to those aforementioned tracks again.

I agree with you on all of the above except for G Rap. I thought 4.5.6 was a solid album.

Another notable wack comeback albums....

DMX- Year Of The Dog
Method Man- Tical O: The Prequel (I didn't like Tical 2000 either, but this one was worse)
KRS One- The Sneak Attack (his second worst album next to Turn Right)
Dr Dre- Dr Dre Presents The Aftermath
UGK- Dirty Money
Craig Mack- Operation Get Down

Dirty Money? Really? That album is far from wack. Did it live up to the hype? no, but it's still 4 stars easily.

I hated it personally, but I can understand why UGK die-hards would like it.

I didn't think it was a die hard thing. Most everyone i know likes despite it being disappointing. Then again, I live in the south where most people are die hard fans. Even with saying that, i know people elsewhere who dig it like friends and family in Michigan and Ohio. I think Pounds likes it too.

Del - 11th Hour - does this count as a comback album? Because it pretty much sucked.

Immobilarity was weak.

Powell you didn't like 4, 5, 6?

Dr Dre Presents The Aftermath isn't really a comeback album. I'm surprised that know one has brought up Kingdom Come.

Nah, Immohomo is not a comeback album, Reakwon was prolly living high off the hog for 4 years and didn't need to drop an album anytime soon. Rae didn't like Rza's Bobby Digital persona..

Other wack comebacks was Das Efx's latest effort, EPMD's latest effort, and Channel Live's Armeghetto.

I was not too thrilled with EPMD's Back N Business and Brand Nubian's Foundation.

you didnt like "Foundation" trotter?? i thought that was a dope album, good
production throughout...

Co-Sign!! Foundation was a BANGER! I have that album at 4.5 stars personally.

I consider Dre Presents The Aftermath a comeback album because it was about 4 years between that album and The Chronic.

Jay Z's Kingdom Come was pretty weak, I should have mentioned that one.

Damn i acctually think that kool g raps roots of evil and 456 are decent. so i cant take any of your opinions serious now because of that. you dont like roots of evil and 456, i dont like BP3 and untitled. i think its fine but its a reason for you to lose respect for people

Dre only raps on one song and produced just over half of it.... Doesn't matter it was a shitty album anyway.

Nah I wasn't really feeling it man...I thought it was a 3 star album...I expected waaay more from G Rap's solo career considering he's one of the best to ever do it...I always thought he needed better production on all of his solo efforts man

Trotter this is the second time you have listed an official BANGER as below par...I'm starting to wonder about you man...Brand Nubian-Foundation was a BANGER...4.25 stars easily man...where are your ears located man...lol

Dirty Money by UGK was pretty dissapointing IMO.

Big Mike's albums as well...

anything master P did after Da Last Don

Lords of the Underground had a garbage come back did they not?

SRP did you check out Mike's new one Serious As Can Be?

I like Dirty Money however I prefer the original version of "Look At Me".

They also removed some of the tracks that were supposed to be on it and the last few were tacked on to combat downloading.

Jive screwed them royally on that joint.

Jive wanted them to build on "Big Pimpin craze" so they screwed them.

Big Mike's Somethin Serious was a classic IMO.

I only own LOTUG's first two albums, but from what I heard their comeback album did suck.

I disagree with you on 4, 5, 6. I thought it was a solid album. The production could have been better, but G Rap's rhymes weren't lacking at all. Fast Life alone is worth 2 stars.

Foundation was definitely bangin. In fact, I like it just as much as In God We Trust.

Was Resurrection LOTUG's comeback? If so, it wasn't bad.

The one they put out in 07, though....
