The Roots are a good example of that. They've been so good for so long that each new Roots album doesn't get talked about nearly enough. I know I slept on ...And Then You Shoot Your Cousin.

But mostly, I think what happens is we realize that the initial hype was too strong. Take Big K.R.I.T. He's a very good rapper. Everyone knows this. I enjoy everything he drops to some degree. But the initial hype was that he was the best young rapper coming up. That was too much. He hasn't fallen off, but he was never really worth the hype he started with.
