Seen him 5 times this year, three with GQ and 2 with IC3 and both times icy was on the mic I found it on the whole to be much better. He's good at getting the crowd amped but he dribbles some A-grade shit these days, can't tell you the last time I've heard him say some of his classics like 'its time to turn over the page for the next chapter' or 'mayday mayday mayday', he's just gotten very static in my opinion... my 2c! Then again haven't seen him MC with anyone else so dunno if he's different there.
