Top 10 Music Artists That Were Good But Went Downhill
Joseph Wayne McVey IV, better known by his stage names Z-Ro and The Mo City Don, is an American rapper from Houston, Texas. This guy used to be like the 2Pac of the south, now he just sounds like everybody else. Sad. Nowadays all he sings about is money and haters.
Robert Sylvester Kelly (born January 8, 1967), known professionally as R. Kelly, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer and convicted sex offender.

He was really good when he was Slim Shady, now he's sorta devolved into the whole "OLD MAN YELLS AT CLOUDS! " type of guy.
I mean, I hate most stuff considered "mumble rap" but this guy doesn't just go after those. Not even all modern rappers, but even those who didn't like Revival.
Oh, and he thinks if you support Trump, you can't be his fan. Now I've been very critical of both Trump and his supporters(And I still am) but really?
That's an awfully hot coffee pot
Maroon 5 is an American pop/pop rock band that originated in Los Angeles, California. Before the current group was established, the original four members, Adam Levine, Jesse Carmichael Mickey Madden and Ryan Dusick, formed a band known as Kara's Flowers in 1994, while they were still in high school. I don't consider them as "Maroon 5" anymore, now it's more like the Adam Levine band. They haven't been Maroon 5 since 2010. I have to admit though, Memories is pretty good and interesting.
They used to be good, but now their songs are so generic, and now they’re going on the trap music trend.
Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career on Canadian reality show "Degrassi: The Next Generation". I still like most of the songs on So Far Gone and Thank Me Later to this day, but after that he went downhill. I didn't like Take Care, or Nothing Was the Same, but I did like If You're Reading This It's Too Late. But after that, he came out with Views, and that ended it all. That album was so disappointing, and everything else after that was as well. God's Plan is one of the most monotonous song of 2018.

His only bad album was his most recent one, so I guess this qualifies.
These days, he's now more known as a celebrity than a rapper.
Anything after 2009 is just awful. The Kardashians ruined him.
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. is an American rapper from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was discovered by Brian "Baby" "Birdman" Williams at a very young age, and was signed to Cash Money Records, where he would be one quarter of the rap group Hot Boys.

He was never that great to begin with.

In 2006, he released his first major label album, (third solo studio album overall), 'Bad Azz', which... read more Man Boosie fell off so hard, ever since he came home from prison he hasn't been the same. Nowadays he's basically a parody of his former self, and he's too busy acting like a clown on instagram to make good music.

Fall Out Boy is an American pop punk band formed in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, in 2001. The band consists of vocalist and guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley. Early stuff was great. Now...

Eh, even their older stuff isn't good either and just feels boring.
The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London in 1962. The first settled line-up consisted of Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Ian Stewart (piano), Mick Jagger (lead vocals, harmonica), Keith Richards (guitar), Bill Wyman (bass) and Charlie Watts (drums).Their best works include songs like Paint it Black, Sympathy for the Devil, Satisfication (Which ranked no. 2 in The Rolling... read more
Oh, come on, they're still ok for a band that's 57 years old... They kept a good string of albums until Dirty Work, which is still longer than most people.
They only care about money now.

Faheem Rashad Najm, better known by his stage name T-Pain, is an American recording artist and music producer from Tallahassee, Florida. Nowadays T-Pain seems like he's trying to sound like Travis Scott, which is pretty bad when you're trying to sound like someone who made a career off trying to sound like you.

Formed in 2004, the group currently consists of vocalist Oliver Sykes, guitarist Lee Malia, bassist Matt Kean, drummer Matt Nicholls, and keyboardist Jordan Fish.

The style of their early work, including their debut album Count Your Blessings, has... read more I'd say, they started off bad when they were Deathcore, then when they went to straight forward Metalcore or Metalcore that also carried influences from other stuff, they were good, their more Pop direction varies. They had some good songs in That's The Spirit but their most recent stuff from 2019 is mediocre.

Gee thanks, just bought it."
Her new music sucks badly! I've listened to her song "34 + 35" and it gave me a disease. That song is trash for many reasons and it's her worst song ever.
Dangerous Woman was a pretty good album, but now I find her latest music kind of repetitive and boring.
