I got so tired of listening to the same drivel over and over again. I don't think I'll ever go back to it.
I listen to jazz and REAL hip-hop nowadays.

I find it usually to be the other way around with alot of MC's first albums, When an MC first comes onto the scene and he's trying to make it..He usually puts all his heart into that shit and makes it real..Then once he starts getting that money..it all goes to thier heads. "Hey im rich now, so i can just do a half ass job on my 2nd album because my first made me rich" It's not like that with everybody, but i have seen it happen that way before. Maybe it's not always the money, It's usually the same with movies..I find alot of sequals to movies are usually never as good as the first...And that's the way it is with alot of hiphop albums..Just the way it goes.
Like look at Nas..His first album Illmatic was sick, But i don't think he's put anything out that has even come close to comparing to his first.
