Eastside of that Motor
Andre 3000 is the most obvious answer then Cee Lo:yeshrug:
Can't agree with that one man. Dre and Ceelo were from the streets, but basically just evolved into the afrocentric lane and then to the mainstream main.

Cube went from

Pitbull went from a tall tee wearing, Smack DVD type rapper to huge international, pop rapper...

:wow:

I think Twista's comeback in '04 should get a mention, he was still spitting fast but he changed his content and came up under Kanye...

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
Latifah and Cube are building empires, pleighboi. From being pro-black to all inclusive, grinnin' and rockin' with Ellen. :birdman:




:usure:















:ufdup:





always been corny. he just found a bigger platform.
i'd say latifah... cube still puts out music, still cussin, still talking shyt in those records... and still performs his old shyt... when it's album time, it's back to gangsta cube



but latifah ain't doing NONE of that shyt... she'll talk a good game if you bring up hip hop... but she ain't doing no music, i don't see her doing any interview with black radio/blogs/tv, she don't speak on her rap career.. she definitely ain't preaching that power to the people and UNITY shyt no more..

if you were born any time after set it off, you wouldn't have any clue she ever even rapped
