A lot of Rock artists back in the 70s and 80s had very long careers. Even a few idie/lo-fi/alternative bands in the 90s and 2000s. Tool for example.
Pac's last 3 albums including Are You Still Down are great. His early stuff was very much "of the time", whereas others who were releasing at that time like BIG and Nas were miles ahead of the era.
T.I. has some good lyrics, Biggie's lyrics are GOAT. Only Em and Nas have better lyrics I've heard
GZA >>> Raekwon.
Just as much, I'll take Snoop over Pac
One of the few artists to release a double album with no lag. That has to count for something.
They had long careers but back a lot of their albums, by and large, were crap.
I'll also take Too $hort if we're talking WC rappers from that era
Nastradamus is legit one of the world albums of all time.
I can't take a rapper with Sega Genesis beats seriously. His lyrics were mediocre as well. Has dated horribly.
About to say...I have maybe a dozen bands I like 3 or more albums of to the point to where I would say they are great.
Actually, he redid one of those albums (I think I Am...) IIRC, and it was actually pretty good
Not my fave, and Nas is my no. 1.
Life After Death wasn't that good. I found myself skipping many tracks. Ready to Die was godlike though.
He was a product of the time. I still love it
LAD > RTD by far
Right? It's a very select club. It's hard as hell for artists to keep up with the times and maintain their appeal.
Worst post ever.
Like...not even close. Can't even name a track I dislike on LAD.
