An artist should never change his style!

[Kobe Bryant]

That's the vibe I get from this board. Anytime a vet comes out, their work is immediately compared to their previous. Is it wrong to try something new? Think if an artist tried to recapture the same album over and over again. That **** would become so tiring.

Outkast is a great example or trying new things with each album and they have succeeded.....for the most part.I think artists should always grow and change a bit.....

Hell yeah they should change abit.I hate when ppl say there selling out.Its hard to stay on top in the hiphop business,so I would stack my money cause they wont be on top all the time,as pimp c said on rap city.If that takes them to change there style up for ppl in order to make millions?and be on the radio? then so be it.


I would say **** the haters,its not u thats getting the money its me.

Its ok to try something new but one should keep his original flavor with each and every CD....I'll give it a few songs but at least one song shouldmbe "now that's the ____ I know"...Hell Cee Lo plull that stunt on the Soul Machine and it work for him..OutKast is the king at switching it up for the fans..bottomline is that they jam doing it all..Very few rap artist are able to change up...pull a few songs for the ladies on your cd is not considered changing things up..

Yea..something simply back in 97/98 like " I'm changing my name from Chamillion to the Chamillioniare" or .."Next I hear somebody say that ballin rapping aint real. I'mma slap that ni&&@ with ten hundred dollar bills".......Chamillionaire was the best thing that happened to the SwishaHouse Outside of SlimThug.
