"its supply and demand, when the supply wasn't really as big as it is now, rappers could take their time making albums, take time writing their darts (lyrics) make sure everything was fresh, and only dope emcees got deals back then cuz rap wasn't huge so only the nice would be successfull, now that demand is at an all time high, its more of what can i get out faster then the next man, so its gon to quanity over quality in a since. The great ones have the cockyness to know their albums are so dope that they way ahead of their time so they can take time making the next one cuz the last one was so good it'll have a long shelf life, but the ones without that cockyness just drop joints, that are without question lyrically horrible" I agree for the most part.
