Is Cam. The jump from CoF to SDE is a noticeable one. It did him good and it worked, I think most people prefer the Cam we know compared to the earlier rappity one. CoF still smacks off.

No jay z talk in this thread. There’s no proof he’s don’t it, it’s just something he said he did and quite frankly I don’t believe him. He’s a damn liar

Kendrick on humble

Jay from RD to the volumes

Wayne Carter 1 to Carter 3 (mixtape run included)

S/o rappers like Future who never compromised and lyrically spaz on every song

This is a good example. I wouldn’t call myself a huge Kendrick fan but I will give him credit that he can easily maneuver in that sense

I disagree

Dravis went from “I can’t wait just to s*** on you” to “piss on your grave”

He actually started getting more and more nonsensical post-Rodeo

to this

facts old trav was a better rapper

Also Nas with Nastradamus.
IWW and I Am... got a more accessible sound overall but with Nastradamus he exasperated this thing

No I don’t think there’s any argument here. Sure c3 had radio songs but it wasn’t a fully commercial album. You’re comparing ones highs to another’s lows, I don’t know what you’re trying to prove here

you don't think he dumbed down at all between that time? lol

I can see that, sonically at least but I wouldn’t say his content or style was compromised. You’re right though it’s just not extreme

i mean he still had amazing lyrical songs on the carter III
just a style change

Forgot that last year we got great examples of this with smash talk and klit itz here
Both q and krit previous albums were considered among their best work and then they hit us with trash
