I don't know much about Rap at all (close to nothing in fact), but you say that Eminem has only had the odd good song since encore. What about all those rappers that you listed, are they still pumping out good songs every year? Did they pump out good songs for more than a decade?
Eminem didnt pump out good songs for a decade. He pumped out marketable songs for a decade. He did actually pump out good songs for about 5> years. MMLP is a legit masterpiece, maybe even a top 5 rap album, The Slim Shady LP was also great.
However, longetivity isn't the main decider for quality. Nas has produced the best rap album in history with 'Illmatic', and that was his fucking DEBUT album. He wrote history on the day he stepped into the office.
To answer your question: Yes, most of those did that, until they retired or got shot. Of course some had their peak and some albums sounded better. A decade is a bit much though, I think most of those did release high quality for a constant 8 years, some more, some less, the important question is however what they did in that time and how good were they actually.
