Most of the Houston rappers still have a pretty good size following. Just not mainstream at all

Would Naughty By Nature fit here?

First two big label releases go platinum, each featuring a really well known hit song.

Next two albums go gold, push out a couple of more gold singles, and then after that they never touch that many sales in either albums or singles.

I think mainstream rap from like 95-2008 didn’t evolve much, and a lot of the rappers listed are from that era.

Once rap started evolving, none of those old dudes changed and thus they fell off the map.

Eta- I’m not saying rap changed for the better. I much prefer the older shite.

Lil Wayne is still huge in hip hop. He is still making good music. He released two mixtapes(Dedication 6 and D6 Reloaded) in Dec/Jan that most people rate highly. People still talk about when Carter 5 will drop.
