This is most positive and inspirational work. Paranoia 1 and 2 are much deeper and personal

Why didn’t he just keep making music like this? He would’ve been much bigger by now.
His voice changed from excessive smoking, he rapped about everything he had to rap about and oversaturated himself with mixtapes, his hunger decreased as rap opened up more ventures for him, he fell out with Wayno who was managing him, he started chasing trends more, he became a super Crip, Def Jam had too much influence for his debut album…

His voice is an issue and his pen is lazy and inconsistent now he’s still a good beat picker though and has never dropped a bad project

‘15-‘18 Dave East was a dope ass MC that should have been embraced more but fukk it. U see it in this project how much more conscious and conceptual his shyt was. He’s really on some ignorant super gangsta shyt now. Also feel like the Buda & Grandz production fit him like a glove.

His voice changed as well. He needs to stop smoking for a lil while until his vocal chords get back into shape.
This nikka need to start drinking tea or some shyt :dead:

Current East would also never make songs with real messages like Slow Down, Don’t Shoot, Numb

His shyt stays on some super gangsta shyt I’m getting tired of hearing about this nikka fiend family members too :heh:

He had a lane with the storytelling joints but he stopped fans liked the Keshia series he could have been on some King Von shyt

His street shyt doesn’t seem like it’s…how should I say…legitimate? Real surface level shyt. It’s like he’s pressing to be seen in a certain light for some reason. He’s always been a borderline mystery considering the street nikka lane he’s chasing :hubie:

Why did he fall out with Wayno?

I contribute that more to him not putting in the same effort as he did into his music around the Kairi Chanel and Black Rose era

His shyt just don't hit the same and his music has diminished flow wise, content wise, and most of all creatively.

He did an album with Styles P so I doubt his street background deserves any question. A lot of his friends died to the streets too, so I don't doubt that part.

It's more so the effort he's putting forth, and he's doing more than one thing, which I applaud but the music has diminished.

His shyt went down hill when he started acting and when Wayno left. Karma 2 was him at his peak

no disrespect to you but this seems surface level. Styles loves rap so if you show a love for rap as well I doubt he’ll turn you away. It’s not like SP is making drill music. Styles did not grow up with Dave so It’s not like he could speak to that. The idea he’s had friends that died…If you’re black living certain places who hasn’t it? lol

:deadmanny:
On the real tho, him having songs like don’t shoot, and slow down on here, and the fact he was able to keep up on tracks with Game and Beans showed how good of a artist he was becoming.

You’re 100 percent right on him over saturating himself. His topics are too limited for multiple 16-18 track mixtapes.
