I was tough to really win over as a fan so i dont have alot of these but i actually grew into more artists over the years.

I agree with late 00s Dipset not holding my attention. I only fuck with Dipset from like 2002-2007/8ish

Nelly, i still think highly of Country Grammar as an album but im straight on Nelly after that even though Nellyville is dope-ish.

Luda, i still think he dope but i don't really play his shit anymore.

Swizz Beatz used to be my favorite producer but now....not so much.

 

[Siqnih Da Trapper]

Pac

 

[Lou Cypher]

Necro.

The last few years I hardly bump him anymore. Dude is mad corny on Facebook.

Co fucking sign. I was listening to Necro back when i was 14 or 15. Dude became corny to me once i hit 16.

Eminem

Jedi Mind Tricks - Ill give their albums a chance when they drop. But i get sick of hearing about the conspiracy theories or Muslim shit that they preach like its fact.

Immortal Technique - see the first half of the Jedi Mind Tricks description.

ill think of more later.

 

[Mister B.]

I used to be down with this muhfucker back in like 1995-2002...

But then he turned into this muhfucker...trying to be a drug lord and shit.

Then he became THIS muhfucker....

Nah, son. Can't fuck with it.

(He can still spit when he feels like it, tho.)

Krs one-as a youngster i thought he was so smart, as i aged, i cant help but think hes corny

No limit-i bumped their stuff as a kid, what an idiot i was

Early cash money-actually was surprised that juvenile 400 degreez is considered a classic around here because its criminally bad along with a lot of their stuff from that era

Cosign KRS One.

When I was 14/15 I thought he was a prophet/genius. He organized the Stop The Violence Movement and Self Destruction. But as I got older around the time he released Ghetto Music: The Blueprint of Hip Hop and Edutainment I was somewhat confused by his message. Then he beat up PM Dawn and threw him off the stage. At that point I was completely confused by his message. But at least his beats were dope and he was getting major label production because he had a major label budget.

When he dissed Nelly (and lost) he became officially washed up. Not because he lost, but because he said he could, "end Nelly's career" and Nelly sold 6X platinum and then followed up with a #1 and #2 album in the same week.

KRS still has following and I still bump his early stuff, but when I see him speak on Youtube sometimes I cringe because he's not nearly as knowledgable as I thought he was when I was 14.

I will say this; KRS stressed the idea that a rapper/MC could convey social issues through Hip Hop. That was a novel idea at the time. He was speaking about stuff that Run DMC, LL Cool J and The Beastie Boys wouldn't talk about.

My Philosophy is still one of my favorite rap songs of all time, but I haven't been feeling any of KRS's recent music since that joint he did with Kanye, Rakim, Nas and DJ Premiere.

He was still one of the GOATS from his era. Can't take that from him.

Lil Wayne (back when he was with the hot boyz before he turned gay)

[FishNChips]

@genocide_cutter how have you not outgrown listening to crackas who wear clown makeup? it would be understandable if they were at least good, but they're completely shit on top of the clown makeup. are you younger than 16?

 

[Leviathan616]

I pretty much outgrown every rapper except Lupe, MC Ride of Death Grips, Pharoahe Monch and Tyler the Creator.

Ja Rule

 

[SheerExcellence]

I pretty much outgrew all rappers as I got older. But it's not because the music changed, at least not directly. It was moreso social media and YouTube and all the access.

Once smack DVDs and all those other similar ones became very popular I would watch them all. Almost every week it seemed like the dude on the corner would have a new one for five bucks, but after a few I remember thinking this is how these dudes live their life? Hanging out on the corner in the projects smoking blunts counting money all day with thirty niggas behind them while they flash guns and talk about how they the toughest motherfuckers the world has ever seen?

And I know some rappers always rapped about that shit, dudes that I liked too, but there was something about seeing the visual of them talking for fifteen or twenty minutes just acting hard for a camera that made me pretty much outgrow all rappers, in the sense that I lost a certain respect for them. The whole shit didn't seem cool to me anymore or even desirable. It just looked stupid.

I remember when young jeezy was on a smack DVD with bmf, it was the first time a lot of nyc had even heard of dude and I was like damn these niggas doing it big, in a way I never saw before. Then of course they all got indicted shortly thereafter and I remember thinking how dumb it was that those DVDs were the reason they got caught in the first place.

And then seeing dudes like Maino and Saigon and tru life essentially get their whole "careers" just by talking about how they beat ppl up.

I distinctly remember the time tru life was on smack DVD in a bodega using a wad of hundreds as a bib while he ate a bowl of fruity pebbles using champagne instead of milk.

That single moment it hit me that Jay z have this halfbrained idiot a million dollar roc deal. And of course shortly after that tru was in prison for murder.

So yeah, around 2005-2008 is when I started seeing the majority of rappers as clowns. I still listen to the music, and I still respect lots of particular rappers, but overall I think majority of them social media, Instagram, YouTube whores.... No different that an Instagram booty ho or Kardashian or whoever else

Jay-Z - There was a time when I ranked Jay very highly, I even thought he won the battle with Nas lol, but now I don't really mess with his stuff anymore, it just ain't for me, I still jam the odd song from time to time but for the most part he is overrated to me.

2Pac - The issue with Pac is simple, I overplayed his music for years so I rarely listen to him anymore, he is still one of the GOAT to me tho.
