Most improved rappers of all-time

[Dusty Bake Activate]

I wouldn't say elite.. but Deeper Than Rap/Teflon Don era Rick Ross was a lot better than "Port Of Miami" Ross. And is still better than he was when he dropped his debut.

Oh shyt, almost forgot. DEFINITELY Mac Miller

I hope it isn't true, but I wouldn't be surprised if Ross started using ghostwriters around DTR.

Flocka. Dude went from

[Billy Ocean]

Biggie was always dope but he made a huge improvement from his earliest recordings to the later recorded songs on Ready to Die. He dropped that old school, Chubb Rock flow.

Jeezy

Yep. I think I said this before but I had to convince my friends Biggie was that dude during that era because Juicy had came out then Warning but kids in my school loved Warning but still tried to front on him

 

[TrebleMan]

Talib Kweli
Guru
Common
Drake
Lil Wayne

 

[PlaidShirtHipsterBoy]

Elzhi really improved from the late 90s, his pen game became unfukkwitable during the Motown 25 days until now.

 

[Mr Rager]

I'd say Waka Flacka. I couldn't stand anything he put out but "I Can't Rap" was actually coherent and still gets play on my iPod

 

[SireSiah#KWU]

Ima say Kanye.
On his first two albums I just saw him as a producer that rapped.
When I heard The Graduation I saw him as a lyricist.

 

[Zero]

U-God stepped up his game entirely too late

His verses on the last few Wu releases starting from about 2012-2013 have been pretty decent

 

[Walt]

Ghostface. The leap he took from the Wu debut to becoming an arguably top 5 to 10 rapper in a lot of people's minds is amazing.
