long time 3-6 and project pat fan, there will never be another like them

those examples are weak and tangential. The first one is a little more useful but all Bambaataa says is that "the rapper got away from hip hop culture and leaving the DJ behind". Which I actually agree with. I've always maintained that the most powerful aspect of hip hop is the producer/DJ. They're the ones supplying the beat that makes this whole thing tick. When rappers started thinking they were the most important to the detriment of the other elements (especially the beats/groove), the genre started falling off (hence my "lyricism killed hip hop" thread). And Bam takes a shot at Diddy for being superficial. which was common back then and Diddy was only one aspect of the game (though a large one). At this time, Bam was still a huge Busta, Missy fan so he still loved current hip hop.
The second example just says "things changed". Well.... duh. There is no value judgement in any of those sentences around the timestamps you put.
Hopefully @Iron Chin Wilder will come with something better

I have some better stuff with interviews from may of the OG's, Im trying to remember the links/sources though.I'll post them when I find them.
I think its safe to say that you will find a few examples. But to what degree though? I don't think you'll find anything on par with the overwhelmingly pervasive view from the 30+ club that hip hop today is garbage.
I'm always thought his post 2003 work hasn't been good.
I'm convinced one of the other members were writing for Paul and juice because their lyrical abilities went down the drain once hcp was done. Hell I would even argue ghost producers because their production sucks now and juice barely produces his stuff anymore, makes me think the lil pat rumors were true.

I think it was said a year or 2 ago he had ghostwriters for his solo run , even Gangsta Boo co-signed it
He's still in my top 3 Southern rappers list.
his solo run has been abysmal lol.
I`m pretty sure Boo and Lord, maybe Koop wrote everyones rhymes.
Hell listen to Juice, dude used to be my fav after Lord, now he raps like a Fruit Loop goof
Paul was spitting at his highest level in a technical sense on "a person of interest" though
Listen to the wordplay, similies & entendres on this track...there's even a triple in here
I refer you to this post.
Lil Pat stopped working with them around 2000...production was still top notch for several years afterwards.
Mista Don't Play
Layin The Smackdown
Choices
Paul vol.16 (re-released)
Chronicles of the Juiceman
Da Headbussaz
Da Unbreakables
1st two Frayser Boy albums
Choices II had some hard beats too...this shyt here
They fell off on Most Known Unknowns...never liked that album
What they really lost with Lil Pat was that crisp ass sound quality they had on their shyt from 98-2000 (although they still had excellent mastering) the sound quality on Tear Da Club Up Thugs, Body Parts & When The Smoke Clears is just
Alot of their best beats were made POST lil pat...including all the shyt on Mista Dont Play. He was the engineer mainly.
Most Known Unknown/Last 2 Walk/Scale a Ton era Paul TERRIBLE for the most part...doing all that screaming and shyt.
But he re-found his stride on "person of interest" & the "for i have sinned" mixtape along with da mafia 6ix mixtape...but now...he's back to
Paul had a unique, signature sound in his prime (Juice too) it's hard for me to believe somebody was writing for them back then...although Skinny claimed he did.

Any receipts on the lil pat shyt besides k- rock's diss track?
Paul and Juice got a lot of samples from this song by DJ Zirk
No evidence whatsoever...Pat wasn't there during the underground tape days when they were 1st developing their style...putting out shyt like this
Or Mystic Styles or Live By Yo rep...
