Now yeah I know "thread about a tweet" whatever tf but I'm actually interested because I don't think I've ever interacted with people on here, irl, or music spaces in general who thought much of this album

It wasn't bad, but I don't remember much about it outside of that one song that was supposed to be the outro with his pops that was released as a loosie. 2007 I think it was called. That was cool. But as a whole the album to me was...it was there I guess.

Was The Forever Story really the best rap album of 2022, or is this just another hyperbolic tweet from a hip-hop Twitter account ran by a white dude? Cause "Masterpiece and there hasn't been a better album since" is....I mean come on b lol

I'll check it out again because I wasn't blown away by it when it first dropped. Granted I haven't really been blown away by JID since DiCaprio 2, but The Never Story I still hold in high regard.

Yes it was.

They do I don’t.

ngl i skimmed a bit of this awhile ago since i had no interest in this guy’s music at all, and i heard a lot of rappity rapping, didn’t really grab me

was sorta confused as to why people hailed it as a masterpiece

It was up there, pretty good album

it was good but metro and kendrick had the better rap albums that year

hyperbolic tweet from a hip-hop Twitter account ran by a white dude

this was a really nice album though, i can easily see why someone would like this

JID, while not a personal favourite of mine, has a nice flow, he can get technical with it, is personal at times, picks good production that fits him and isn’t too cookie cutter, and can put a song together. the only thing he’s really missing is a major marketing machine behind him or a major hit.

He def going around saying he white but when he around rappers then all of a sudden he claims he middle eastern

Good album tbh I remember it being praised well last year but idk about RAOTY

Dreamville and Interscope ain't major marketing machines? Don't know if I can agree with that. Dude did a Madden soundtrack, been featured on a ton of tracks with big names from 2018 to present. Nigga was even a feature on some KPOP girl group called NewJeans

But I can see him not having a major single that really propelled him forward. Think his biggest track is still 151 Rum or Off Deez with J Cole, but both those were from 2018.

album is garbage

i mean yeah he's on a major label but do they push him like that? i feel like they don't really promote him that much, i don't think he's a priority artist for interscope the way like dababy or someone is.

not much replayability either it’s like a two listen type of album

dreamville just did the whole Creed 3 soundtrack too but the only song that really got attention was Cole's interlude rapping over The Watcher

fantano giving it a 9 probably made it the safe pick for those people

Not they just be saying s*** for engagement

Damn if Fantano was d***riding it chances are it really might just be getting overhyped

Feel like Interscope dropped DaBaby like a crack fiend mother

Wouldn't call it a masterpiece but its a really good album.

yall really going in i dont think it's a crazy pick if you're not a fan of more abstract/dusty or weird/soundcloud s***

i'd still give it like an 8 but it’s not some generational classic and also i don’t think a lot of rap albums in the last year have been that hot so it’s just naturally near the top for me

Nah I love that abstract dusty weird s*** lol that's a reason why I didn't really care much for it because I heard better that year. Mavi, $ilkmoney, MIKE, Saba, Denzel Curry, and this underground dude Mikul held it down for me all 2022 on that front.

yeah but im not saying YOU specifically don't like that stuff i mean in general
