Nice thread. I wonder if Ghostface's peak in year 2000 was somehow connected to this issue - aside from his lyrics, style, production? Cause, if you guys rememeber, his voice was drastically changed on Fishscale and even more on 8D, BDR and later on....



When it comes to live performance, Deck, being a professional rapper, had to do something about his voice, I'm sure there has been a therapy for that.

GZA, Rae - similar problem.

How come Jadakiss sounds so fresh live? His voice never seems to break. Busta Rhymes (last time i saw him live, which was like 12 years ago) sounded great as well.
