By this, I mean albums that caused change and had influence, but not necessarily the truly revolutionary ones like 808s

I'll start - Flower Boy

It was crazy being 17 when this album released. All the edgy white kids swapped their Van's for one stars and all of a sudden there was a new bedroom pop act every week.

Blonde made everyone recreate whatever frank did on songs like seigfried

Rarely saw one stars tbh

Tlop made artsists release s*** projects then fix it after the fact like a title update (dont hate I like TLOP)

Beyoncé s/t started surprise album trend

Pluto/Pluto 3D infused trap with R&B

Illmatic was first major rap album to have multiple producers on a record

Factoooooo

Gucci’s Cold War series inspired artists to release commercial mixtapes

Pixies in general

Illmatic, mutiple producers on an album, wasnt the first but was the trendsetter

beat you to it

the chronic - g-funk

If you're reading this too late, probably set the trend of mixtapes basically being albums or maybe even sfg

Migos - Y.R.N

Im just gonna ask but

Wasnt g-funk already the wave in WC back then. I mean mfs in other coasts didnt start making G-Funk after The Chronic. It was the same people. The Chronic is a classic and a masterpiece and is influential af but I dont think people really started making G-funk albums after the chronic its more like the reverse. U can tell me if im wrong doe Im just asking

100%

Basically defined 90s alt rock before 90s had even started

LIl Wayne with No Ceilings and all them mixtapes. Made the early 2000s mixtape game popular

2014 Forest Hills Drive made it possible to go platinum with no features .

Wasn’t Camron the first major rapper to be doing mixtapes?

tbh 50 ngl

Jai Paul - Bait ones/ leaked album

actually flume s/t was very influential
