Realtalk has any artist improved during their career?

[doitallpaul]

I mean everyone says 50 needs to go back to his GRODT days and Power of the Dollar days. People want Em to stay on his Slim Shady LP type of &*^(. LilWayne hasn't progressed since his Hot Boyz days. Kanye was the man during his College Dropout days. Now these are all perceptions of the NT Music communitybut, has any rapper improved during his career?

 

[henz0]

Jeezy

 

[mideastbeast]

Mobb Deep
Ghostface Killah
JMT
Kool G Rap
The Geto Boys
Scarface
Immortal Technique
Canibus (prolly only because of the beats on Rip the Jacker)
LCOB
Apathy

All improved at least at one point.

 

[man listen]

Jim Jones....not that he's great now but that first album was hard to listen to.

 

[doitallpaul]

so I guess its the main stream artists who don't.

 

[eplaya06]

I think Wayne got better at a certain point (Squad Up, Carter 1, Dedication 1), but then he regressed so its hard to call it...

Sarcasm ?

You do know that The Infamous and Supreme Clientele were both SOPHOMORE albums.... right ? .....

And please, you can't be serious saying Rip The Jacker isn't canibus's best work. Really ? Poet Laureate, Showtime at the gallows, Levitibusetc.... I even said because of the beats... thought that was unanimous ? Stoupe was the best thing to ever happen to the man.

Yea I knew that... But there you go again rating rappers strictly on Albums

Canibus? Canibus? Really? Seriously? Canibus?

I don't get it. Ghostface and Prodigy + Havoc got worse and made better albums ? And yes, Canibus.

Who said they got worse? Your telling Supreme Clientele was a VAST UPGRADE from Ironman? You saw a difference in Ghost's flow and delivery? You listened tohim improve as a rapper?

 

[mideastbeast]

Wasn't a "VAST" upgrade, but you can definitely tell he got better between the albums. Mobb Deep was an obvious improvement. I already explainedCanibus.

Why you on my sack so hard today ? fall back.

[haiti5]

how has lil wayne NOT improved i dont even like dude.but to say he hasnt improved is stupid..and yes contrary to belief jeezy has improved alot also.he stilltalks about coke but his lyrics are better

 

[barack 0drama]

You're watching the evolution of one of the greatest as we speak...

Gucci Mane.

 

[golfalphabravoecho]

Oh this one's easy...

Outkast. They were good for Southernplayalistic, but they defined their own identities and continued to get better individually and collaboratively tillSB/TLB.

Nas improved throughout his career till about Godson, then he leveled out.

 

[u ttocs]

2pac is the only rapper that got considerably better as his career evolved. 2pacolypse now is one of his worst albums if not the worst, while Pac's last 3albums of his life were all classic and easily his best.

 

[vegasoner]

Current Rappers:

T.i
Lil Wayne
Juelz Santana (But thats not saying much)

 

[daytona 5000]

Yeah from 1st album probably up until the 3rd Mobb Deep progressed, but afterwards....

just one big spiral downward. Prodigy used to be sooooooo ill

Joe Budden

Nas best work were his first 2 albums. Outkast declined after aqumini.
