Older rappers get better or worst........?!


Question: Ya know....been listening to Nas since Illmatic..and one thing I noticed about him is as he gets older..he's getting better! I mean he might not talk about killing & selling drugs as he did in his previous albums before stillmatic..but his "Technique" with the lyrics is at it's BEST!

Some other's rappers..as they got older...got stall when it comes to technique...like Raekwon....I ain't knocking him..but when he made "Built 4 Cuban Linx"..his rhymes & lyrics were on point...it felt like he was Nas/Rakim with his own rap style combined back then......But now it feels like his rap is pretty broken up & off beat. I wonder what happened there?

My question is.....Do you think rappers get better or worst as they go along in their career? Also..gimme some names of who....:-)

They are getting worse but I think they run out of material. When they deut, their life is poured out on that first cd for the World to hear. Once successful, they have to keep putting out more and more music and depending on the type of artist you are, there is only but so much you can say. Eminem cant keep talking about hurting his mother for five more years lol. And the more successful you get the more you life changes. Thats why I think the cd "Curtis" by 50 Cent was horrible because of the fact that he is one of the richest rappers in the game and songs like, "ILL Still Kill" are not even believable. Ima run down a couple of rappers and tell you what I think their best cd's are.

Jay Z-Reasonable Doubt
Nas-ILLmatic
50 Cent-Get Rich Or Die Trying

Thats only a few. Now their are some rappers like Lil Wayne and Ludacris that are better than they began but for the most case, artist tend to lose fuel.

They gotten worse. The list of rappers that gotten worse.. Eminem, 50 cent, Snoop Dogg, Nelly, Bird Man, Jay Z, Ice Cube.. Basically all rappers that lived in the past, and made it till the future has gotten worse. Yup

generally speakin, i'd say it varies by the rapper.....ie: LL & KRS-One dont seem to be gettin any better as their careers carry on...On the other hand, Scarface & Bun B have seemingly gotten better with the years

Hmm.. I think this answer goes both ways. For example the people who have gotten better are Common, The Roots, Mos Def, I will even add TI and Lil Kim to the people above. Now the ones that need to hang it the hell up are LL Cool J (people just listen to his songs for hooks now) Master P (thought he was gonna be the new Puffy then he just fell off) Snoop Dogg ( Sensual seduction..wtf??) Trina (never a favorite)

yeah in the most ways

well most hip hop artists' careers are defined by their first or second albums, thats why you saw lots of people "falling off" after their debut

its not that they're declining, its more of the fact that their first album was so good that you cant possibly ask them to better it

some examples are the ones you listed
illmatic - nas
ob4cl - raekwon

liquid swords - gza
and i have yet to see a decent method man album since tical

well anyone on here that knows me knows that I will vouch for two of my favorites:
ice cube
ll cool j

better....

cube came out on the scene with one of the all-time best intro's from straight outta compton..

Cause I got an ego big as TO,
but I'm not an Eagle

I told you motherf u (kaz
Kobe didn't take that pu ZZi
Get money, get paid, you can beat that ish

ll...I won't even speak on how he murdered all challengers, (jack the ripper was hott!!!!..how you like ME now!!!, oh cool j was bogus for that!!)from kool moe dee, hammer, vanilla ice, ice t, and my all time ll favorite.....
