    MOTM2 is better than MOTM. Most people would agree with that statement. It was also more successful commercially and in terms of acclaim. Ya wrong man

    Dude makes zero sense

    Especially since Cudi hasn’t been following the motm formula for almost half his career lmao

    It’s exactly why he’s so divisive in the first place.

    Nas did the opposite dummies

    He never tried to remake Illmatic

    Yeah his label told him to go more mainstream because Illmatic only sold moderately

    “Following the moderate sales success of his acclaimed debut album, Illmatic (1994), Nas chose to focus his efforts in a more mainstream direction. Primarily produced by Trackmasters, it is a departure for him from the raw, underground tone of his debut album towards a more polished, mainstream sound.”

    it sold more, and was more accessible to the mainstream, but it wasn’t as good as illmatic.
