It was definitely overhated. He tried something different and it didn’t land all the way, but it was better then some people give it credit for.

It gets left out of the conversation a lot because it’s pidginholded between Like Water For Chocolate and Be which are both absolutely brilliant albums.

I think as he gets older too

He will start to get even better

im really upset it took me so long to appreciate blonde’s greatness i missed out. i hope frank is doing well his brother passing away probably f***ed up a bunch of his plans

Blonde and Endless might be 2 classics tbh

Blonde definitely

endless is really good and a nice project/piece of art but it’s not a classic imo

My 3 or more classics club in rap , probably missing some folks

AG might be crazy but it really shouldnt be, album is nearly flawless

What would you consider to be classics? I'm always interested to hear what people who very rarely give out 10/10s rank as the best albums

yeah trav really embraces collaboration well. my cousin who isn’t totally into music like i am but will listen to whatever i send him when dbr came out he was like “wait travis can produce but he linked up with metro, 808, and all these atlanta producers? he could be as good as he wants to be” like the guy is so good with just being creative despite the biting and stealing allegations

Its too niche, would def be considered one if it was on streaming

Channel Orange and Blonde are both classics for sure

Blonde might be one of the most influential albums of the 2010s. I’ve heard the DNA of that album in alot of artists music in the bedroom pop
and Indie Pop/Rock genre.

SZA in particular takes so much influence from Frank in her writing and delivery it’s crazy. Obviously she makes it distinctive enough to not be a bite, but his influence is definitely there.

Might really be stretching “rap” here but hey

slide on me, comme des garcons, and higgs are always in rotation for me

Yeah I think Blonde is the most cemented album of the 2010s

He really doesn't have to drop again

Nas:

• Illmatic (1994)
• It Was Written (1996)
• Stillmatic (2001)
• The Lost Tapes (2002)
• God's Son (2002)
• Life is Good (2012)
• King's Disease II (2021)
• Magic (2021)
• King's Disease III (2022)
• Magic 3 (2023)

Real nigga! 3 of the best albums ever

IKTR

The other 2 have dope ass songs too!!!! S/T might be a personal classic honestly

Best band ever

yeah be is one of the greatest most concise albums ever glad it exists.

common low key has like a top 3 all time diss track btw

El-P:

• Funcrusher Plus
• Fantastic Damage
• I'll Sleep When You're Dead
• Cancer 4 Cure
• Run the Jewels 2
• Run the Jewels 3
• RTJ4

I don’t know if I’d really call any of the Nas x Hit-Boy collabs aside from Magic 1 maybe as classics.

I think they all hit except for Magic 2, but classic is such a revered word.

I think you’re just listing albums you like

no he doesn’t and he’s done well enough financially that he’s set even before channel orange dropped he drove a bmw x6 and lived in a nice part of LA

The B**** In Yoo is a classic diss for sure
