^^^^ yeah def jayo felony got better, but i disagree with WC, i think shadiest one was a much better album thn ghetto heisman, and his work on bow down was better imo thn terrorist threats
-
^^^yea but have u checked out his mixtape he put out in 04...that shit was fire!
-
daz & eiht have more clever lyrics and broader subject matter to talk about. Spice 1 is just plain boring.
Edit: forgot about Quik as one of the ones who got better.
and stop hating, post your opinons dont question mine
-
LL Cool J defo got worse.
-
^^^yea but have u checked out his mixtape he put out in 04...that shit was fire!

-
Quik definately grew as a rapper as he got older
eiht have more clever lyrics and broader subject matter to talk about.
Eiht lost his flow, period.
and stop hating, post your opinons dont question mine
:-*
-
LL Cool J defo got worse.
he should just fuckin' quit
-

If you didn't want it questioned, you shouldn't have posted it.

Snoop has gotten worse, even though if im not sure you could call it that...maybe hes just more mainstream and not as hungry now. Kurupt used to be good, but I think he has fallen off ever since, but I mean back then he was amazing, so I dont even know if its a fair comparision.
If we did rappers today, The Game has definitely stepped up, even from the documentary, which was released little over a year ago..

I gotta agree with this

Anybody who says Snoop has gotten worse needs a serious chin-checkin. Just because he's not making the kinda music YOU want to hear (early/mid-90s' G-Funk) doesn't mean he's gotten worse. Snoop's been pushing artistic boundaries and maintaining his grip on hip-hop for almost 15 years now, and his last album actually produced his biggest hit single ever. So yeah, I'd say that definitely makes him better with age, because even if ya'll think he fell off, there's 2 million people out there that made "Drop It Like It's Hot" a smash hit, and they'd all like to disagree with you.
ANY muh'fucka that's still putting out successful albums has almost certainly gotten better with age...Scarface (15 years in the game and still going), Nas (10 years in the game and going), etc. As for Daz, Kurupt, Eiht, Spice-1, etc...face it, all those cats are washed up at this point. If they weren't, people other than ya'll would still be checking for their shit, and they wouldn't be putting out their records on indie labels and trying to earn enough just to eat. Although with Daz, I'll at least give him a chance and see if he can reinvent himself and sound relevent again when his So So Def album comes out.

i was going to say snoop got worse, but actually i agree with you. he keeps coming out with fresh new stuff, it might not be what i like, but snoop is still on top in the game. good call.
-
I dont care about who has gotten worse, but the guys that have gotten better are...
Game (From the first aftermath mixtape he was on until now) 100 bars- 300 bars HE IS WAY BETTEr
yukmouth
Havoc (Gotten better every year and outshines P now)
Jayo Felony
-
Definetly LL Cool J. I was switching through channels today and caught his new video with JLo and its almost like "Laffy Taffy" bad.
Another one that came to my mind was The Beastie Boys. They can never be like they were when they were on Def Jam. They still come out with tight music but they rap about fuckin Sasquatch and robots and shit like that too much now.
-
eiht is completely fuccin washed up. he came from bad to fuccin horrible.and daz he was never a rapper..the nigga sounds like a neuro patient on wax. so daz sticc to producin and stop pretendin you a Crip. Snoop..the nigga could flow under a Dre beat but he is shit without it. He came from aspirin gangsta rapper to a freaky ass commercialized pop artist.
LL Cool J = washed up
Yukmouth = just wacc
The Game = a fake, no street credibility
Jayo Felony = his old shit is raw, but he's mislead now
Kurupt = good flow for a studio gangsta
Spice 1 = tight lyricist, but the recent beats are wacc
Ice Cube = tight lyricist. beats are tight. but never been a real G.
-
^^^yea but have u checked out his mixtape he put out in 04...that shit was fire!
na i never heard about tht, what is it?
its called "westcoast heavy hitter" i think he stepped his game up right there....
-
I think Tha Alkaholiks got worse

a couple that aren't mentioned yet:
better:
Lil Wayne -> undeniable
Kanye West -> undeniable
Bun B -> his guest features the past 2 years have all been fire, but his album was disappointing
worse:
Eminem -> undeniable
Ja Rule -> he released a handful good tracks, which I really liked, but Venni Vetti Vecci was definately his prime as far quality music goes
The D.O.C. -> I hate to say it, but that car accident really did him no good :(
Xzibit -> his first three albums are dope as fuck, whereas his last two albums weren't even worth buying
-

Yukmouth = just wacc
I can agree with ya on LL, but Yuk? I believe Yuk has grown greatly as an artist from the days of the Luniz. He is an entreprenuer, always thinking of new ideas and searching for new talent. As for his flow and lyrics, I believe he has maintained his own unique style, which is dope. It's nothin like a lot of the artists out there today, westcoast or wherever. It's dope.

triple WORD on that one...
-
Most rappers get worse when they get older. When your young your hungry you dont give a fuck. 99% of all rappers lose it once they in the game for a while. Its a shame man.
-

Symphony In X Major and What A Mess made Man Vs. Machine worth buying. WOMD definetly was a big dissapointment.

E-40 has gotten better 8)

VANILLA ICE FELL OFF---or was he wack frm start ;D
-
Yall crazy to say Snoop has gotten better. After The Doggfather, half his shit aint even on beat when he raps. He has gotten smarter over the years and figured out how to cater to a larger demographic though. I dont think that means he's better though.
San Quinn is still one of the better rappers out there but he hasnt made a classic since The Hustle Continues.
And personally I kind of like that new LL shit cause it recreated the mid 80;s type of vibe and actually sounds authentic. A lot of yall actin like its an abomination or somethin. It could do without j lo, but its still not a bad song.
-
I liked Dre's rap better in the past. Now he always repeats himself with all that "they dont love me, but they should cuz im a legend blablabla". He just needs to shit on that and make some stuff to prove haters wrong!

He's off-beat? Huh?
I never said Snoop's gotten better, just that he hasn't fallen off, either.
-
Snoop hasnt really fell off but his style has changed so much and now he doesnt really rap that cool gangsta shit that was so tight that he used too, so it seems like he fell of when really he just changed his style. His rhymes were always basic, just so smooth and precise. He never had a vocab like a Kurupt.
