What do you mean would be able to?
Make “conscious” albums that are both applicable to a mainstream landscape, one a bit more relatively than the other obviously.
From a purely mainstream perspective Common had to flop with Electric Circus so Kendrick could remain afloat with tpab. as we know Jay has always been too risk averse to do something like that
This only a 'No' to a certain type of non black pretentious hip hop listener lol.
is TPAB really that good?
if you're white
Magna Carta
who forced you to say this king
TPAB is a classic
The blueprint, reasonable doubt, or American gangster might be better.
At the least, all are on a certain level of upper echelon for rap
This
I personally don't think the black album is that great
if you're white
they tryna overcompensate cus its the first time they realized racism exists

It’s not bad, but to me not nearly as good as his other albums that are regarded as classic
I’d put black album under blueprint, RD, AG, & 4:44

Nobody on here says this about Lupe

I would say that The Roots are way closer to TPAB's sound and content than Electric Circus.

That’s besides my point, even though I think …and then you shoot your cousin directly inspired TPAB

That poster is a Drake stan from Europe. He also said Kendrick makes “black struggle music”
Nope, and he don't got one better than GKMC too
GKMC is more of a traditional hip hop album so I think that's more fair game.
I'd definitely rank RD, Black Album, and Blueprint over GKMC. GKMC prob better than all of Hov's other albums though.
