Famous lmao

And Fade with Teyana

no

would say the fame monster also but released just before 2010 but would easily have run in, tho the single cycle was cut off rather short tbh

God what a horrible OP

TLOP had little impact on the culture

wait a second no ones brought up HOB on here yet wtf

after 4 years of anticipation frank ocean finessed $20 million from UMG, dropped a visual album, went independent, got $20 million more from apple, and dropped a universally acclaimed classic album all in 24 hours

Trilogy has gotta be up there I’d probably put it together with Take Care

Live Love up there

Pure Heroine and Born to Die

It’s hard to place a specific album for Thug or Future but credit to them

Jai Paul definitely pretty big impact but hard to say it was the demo as much as it was BTSTU and Jasmine

Yeezus to some extent same with WTT

Flumes debut

Beyoncé self titled

Skrillex debut

Culture by Migos lowkey

Idk what else or how to rank them but those were all pretty important albums

TPAB, Rodeo, Yeezus, MBDTF, Views, Currents as well

Mbdtf is

Modern hip hop peaked with MBDTF

DAMN too

You’re not wrong but this isn’t an argument refuting what he said

Trilogy as a whole and it’s hard to decouple that from Take Care influence wise in a lot of ways

F*** no

Impact yes
Influence not really

I generally agree
But it was a f***ing massive cultural moment that lasted almost an entire month
If he’d dropped on streaming on release it might have been a different story in terms of lasting impact

Mans really snuck brockhampton in there

that is cultural significance, he didn’t say musical significance

the entire culture was waiting for frank to drop, and blonde was directly attached to the fact that he finessed the music industry. that’s some Michael Jackson Sony Music type s***

I think you’re massively overestimating how many people cared about the label side of things

It was a big moment sure but there were countless big moments and many that were objectively bigger than blonde

To me blondes impact lies in its pervasiveness
That s*** is still everywhere he’s still selling out merch with it the mags are still $600 people still listen to it people still discuss it etc. when you couple that with the fact that he stayed so relevant and like you said had such anticipation for it years later is it’s cultural impact

Mbdtf made rappers more creative, made them step out the box and draw away from the same boring ass verse hook verse hook song structure

U didnt rly have diand guitar solo esque moments anywhere in hiphop before Mbdtf

Also birthed many artists styles e.g. Travis Scott

Deceased

S*** sold a combined like 15k first week lol

Culture

I just really don’t think you have DIAND guitar solo moments in Hip shop outside of Kanye and occasionally Travis

I think Travis owl pharaoh s*** was MBDTF influenced but basically everything after that was far more Yeezus influenced

Migos?
Agree
