What rappers have turned positive and you like thier music more?

[valet]

Usually, when someone turns positive their music is viewed as corny, soft, etc. But is there any MC that used to talk about negative stuff but changed. And you actually like their positive music more then their old stuff. Now, positive is how you define it (for this thread at least)

who has actually done this at all? you mean like Bushwick went from insane to christian rapper?

 

[LeflaurLeflahEshkoshka]

I can't think of any rapper that has made the complete switch to positivity and still made great music.

Nas comes to mind. Styles P has made the switch to more positive music over the last couple years. I still rock with the "Kill That fakkit" S.P. but I like introspective and positive Styles too.

Malice to no No Malice....

When Cham got on, went platinum and all of a sudden decided to stop cursing and releasing semi conscious records as singles

Snoop's recent transformation into the peaceful rastaman for the Snoop Lion album

just a couple off top...an no, I can't really think of a single instance where I liked the music more

Chingy.

 

[Wepa Man]

i was thinking of Cham but he was never really on some gangsta shyt or anything real negative. i haven't listened to any of that Snoop Lion shyt so i wouldn't know but he switches back & forth whenever it suits him anyway.

Yeah, well that's one type of example. Like a Bushwick, Malice, etc. Some might even say Eminem with going through rehab. Though he hasn't totally change but again like I said. For this thread, it's how you define positive. Some might even say Jay Z. Not saying me but there has been changes in his music from drug dealer rapper to who he is today. That's more of what I mean. Either religious rapper or "changes" like Em, Jay.

 

[Ziggiy]

Nas

Lupe Fiasco (when he first started rapping he was the typical gangsta rapper before he switched it up)

Common (listen to his first album Can I Borrow A Dollar then listen to Resurrection. It's almost two completely different rappers)

 

[Bugsmoran]

Saigon
Killer Mike

 

[How Sway?]

i would've said young jeezy back in 08/09 but he's regressed since then...

 

[Loud Still Coolin]

 

[Billy Ocean]

Ghostface still gets very ignorant in his raps but he's been making a lot of "mature" stuff over the past few years. His Wizard of Poetry album is a criminally hated on gem. He plans on making an album all about Allah soon and also has an album in the works with Killah Priest, who always made spiritual based music.

 

[feelosofer]

Common
Killa Mike
Cage
Saigon

Low Key I would add Trae the Truth as well, though I always liked his stuff.

Yea I thought Ghostdini was slept on too. But this next album got my man Ghost on some KRS Spiritual Minded steez. Plus if he doesn't curse or say bytch or hoe
