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
he didn’t try make another but other than IWW he’s never come close to replicating the quality
that’s what i thought this thread was about tbh

Life is good, god son, lost tapes and stillmatic are all close, some more so than others

good albums but illmatic is literally a top 10 album ever
Yachty wasn't chasing his first album, he was just trying to live up to his image
dudes just be saying s*** on here lmao he made the thread and couldn’t even think of an actual example
Interpol
The Strokes
Weezer
Alanis Morrissette
The Doors
Van Morrison
Arcade Fire
The Game
Nas
How? He changed his sound and style 180º
People ITT think this thread is “artists whose first album is their best”
@Goo these kids don't realize that it was written was at least twice as successful as illmatic lol

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.”

Lets just agree Cudi has 3 classics (MOTM 1 and 2, and KSG)
