"the rap up"...10 worst career moves in Hip Hop

10. Lauryn Hill’s self-imposed music exile
Whether it was the good Marley being administered to her on a daily basis, or the pressure of the music industry, we’ll never know.

9. Young Buck crying on the phone to 50 Cent
It’s a damn shame what happened to Buck, really. After that episode, Buck was dropped from G-Unit and he went into hiding for awhile, albeit understandably. As of late he’s been releasing songs over the internet but Buck may be the only person who doesn’t realize his career is over yet.

8. Charles Hamilton naming J. Dilla the executive producer of his album
Recently, Charles Hamilton has been on rap’s radar not for his talent but because of his ability to turn folks off with his personal commentary. What Charles perceived as paying homage to J. Dilla, with whom he claims to have some type of a paranormal relationship, was perceived by others as disrespectful. We haven’t really heard much from Chuck since that fiasco.

7. Canibus trying to play LL Cool J’s game
How many times have you heard a rhyme and thought a rapper was covertly getting at another rapper? How easily words can be misunderstood. Diss tracks ensued, LL was declared the victor [Ed: I'd like the name and address of everyone who declared LL victorious in this battle, so I can physically fight them - Rizoh], while Canibus was allegedly blackballed by LL’s industry cronies.

6. DMX’s frequent visits to the big house
In 1998, DMX was one of the most lyrically gifted rappers out. Problem was, at that point DMX really succumbed to his addiction problems and continually stayed on the radar due to his incessant arrests.

5. Shyne signing to Bad Boy
December 1999. Club NY. I’m sure it’s a moment that Shyne Po would love to go back to and alter the events of. Remember how huge Shyne’s buzz was? You couldn’t go anywhere without hearing “Bad Boys” on the radio back then. It was all good until Shyne was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting a gun in Club NY. Shyne will be released from prison on October 6th. Diddy better watch his back.

4. Guerilla Black’s attempt at a rap career
First, if you’re going to rep a city make sure it’s where you’re truly from.

3. Dame Dash and Biggs pissing off Jay-Z
C’mon man, it was supposed to be Roc La Familia for life!

2. Signing to Bad Boy after Biggie died
Remember G. Dep, Black Rob, Ness, Babs, Chopper, Da Band, Dream, Mark Curry, Danity Kane, or Kain? Know what happened to any of them? Yeah…that’s what I thought.

1. Ja Rule challenging 50 Cent to a battle
This right here is the definition of career ending. The best part of the whole thing? Fif stole Ja’s sing-songy style, did it better than him and dominated the charts for years after that.

I agree with this list for the most part but as far as changes go...

1. Nick Cannons attempt at rapping...and film appearances.

2. Lil Wayne's rock album.

3. I'd remove the Ll Cool J vs Canibus beef (Canibus got him "2nd round KO")

4. Mariah Carey's subliminal shots at Eminem

5. Charles Hamilton gotta be higher.
