ye one is fair

its a classic but its not essential

too niche for the general public

barter deserved

i'd only say that the slime seasons are "essential" beyond that maybe thugger girls

chance only has coloring book in his essentials

i’d say acid rap should be there too even without juice

yeah, it's super effective when I want to do a quick deep dive. before that I would listen to the debut, maybe 2nd album, and then the artist's most/least popular one

though I see quite a few things that could've been improved when it's an artist I know a lot about. like they have 4 essential Alice Cooper albums, and not one of them is Trash

Juice is like my fav song tho that's why I don't play it

it sucks that a lot of well-established but lesser-known acts rarely get their essential. no essentials for El-P but one for CanOx? I guess el-p's discog came to the streaming late but still

Interesting. Do you think that essentials should contain the most accessible entry records? I think it's more about cuture impact, or being groundbreaking for an artists' career, which seem to be the way AM thinks, judging by the other artists.

Great album but defined the decade lol?

i think the idea of an essential is that its essential music - for everyone - not for an artists discog

i dont think yeezus is for everyone doesnt mean its not very good

i think yung bans off rip is one of the best songs ever but its not essential in any way

if they dont have at least three De La Soul albums as essentials once that s*** hits streaming...

what are you laughing about

I dont like j cole

oh, thought you was hating on aubrey and future

Yeah I can't imagine If I would have to go from the beginning when I was getting into jazz These mfs were releasing like 2-3 albums every year back then.
Before AM I would basically dive into fan forums and other stuff to read and find out more about artist and what-to-listen, I still use that approach sometimes but not that much.

Ahhhh KTT hatred for Donald/Bino, never gets old lmfao

ELLE VARNER, GOT A CRUSH ON HER....

I GOTTA WAIT IN LINE FOR THAT

AIN'T NOBODY GOT TIME FOR THAT

they should make Black Flag's My War an essential. and give some to Dead Kennedys, damn

But no fr, Elle Varner is bad af

I wouldn’t say BTI defined the decade because it didn’t sound like most of the music from the decade HOWEVER

It is absolutely one of the best albums of the decade

Dre having 0 is blasphemy

which dre tho

yeah thats p much what I think about it. 'defined the decade' stuff is mostly what I hear from other people. it did capture the moment tho
