the handful of introspective tracks don’t save that album from it’s dated production, nonsensical sequencing, throwaway tier tracks and embarrassing features
Lol I thought the production was SUCH a breath of fresh air
I felt like he was deep in the lyricism bag each song besides that one
I still put it on regularly. Just such a good ass vibe for me
???
It’s a great album
He’s tweaking
Culture is the easiest pick here aside from IYRTITL

You mean TLOP
Easily the best album in this list
HNDRXX - No
Culture - Yes
IYRTITL - No
The Pinkprint - No
TLOP - No
TRAPSOUL - No
Tha Carter IV - No
DAMN. - No
ASTROWORLD - No
maybe OG C5
C4 is eons better
If any Carter sounds dated to me it’s C4. Such a product of its time
A lot of people don't think it's very good, which is not great if you insist on calling something a classic instead of just a successful album
Its rep has definitely improved in light of worse projects he's put out since though
If any Carter sounds dated to me it’s C4. Such a product of its time
maybe im biased cause i grew up with that album but C5 was real disappointing for me after the initial hype and excitement wore off
some good cuts on it but largely meh for me tbh
yeah idk man
Love these so much goddam imma have to pull the vinyl out
It's the party song or whatever I hate lol
All gas no breaks
i dont see many classics on that list
Culture, If Youre Reading This, Pablo, and Astro classics
Rest def not
Actually: Hndrxx is a cult classic
HNDRXX - No, but a personal classic to me
Culture - Yes
IYRTITL - Yes
The Pinkprint - Yes
TLOP - Yes
TRAPSOUL - Yes
Tha Carter IV - hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
DAMN. - Yes
ASTROWORLD - Yes
only if you're reading this. the rest are personal classics at best but not good enough to deserve the branding of classic
None of them are all time classics imo
but u cant doubt the quality, impact and/or performance of some of those. Culture, Astroworld, Trapsoul, IYRTITL
i’ve been meaning to ask this site what makes Tha Carter IV not a classic for a hot minute
only argument i see against it is the lack of influence and it being a little bloated
I'm a Wayne fan.
That said, C4 isn't a true classic.
It's very inconsistent musically and Wayne's lyricism took a bit of a dive outside 6 Foot 7 Foot.
The features also do too much heavy lifting on the album imho.
It's not bad but it's not really the type of album that showcases Wayne being the Best Rapper Alive. C3 and C2 have more songs where Wayne's more dominant as a rapper and lyricist.
My own hot take is that C5 is probably more deserving of classic status due to being Wayne's most introspective album, doing big numbers, containing great raps/lyrics, and the lore behind how it got delayed for so long but still came through.
