Ebro being Ebro again
there are certain albums and movies and other pop culture artifacts that get so much love universally that at some point people start picking at them not out of genuine dislike or because theyre poor quality, but because it kinda gets boring to only revere some stuff. its kinda contrarianism but not quite, because you still love the thing in question, just wanna be overly picky over it for some reason
however i wouldnt be doing that to Thriller because its literally pointless (even though there are tracks on it that i myself dont care for!) and trendy

Disc 1 is for the "new" Pac fan and Disc 2 is for the "actual" Pac fans
Can't C Me starting disc 2 off is already powerful s*** could be on 7Day Theory's warpath
Shorty Wanna Be
When We Ride
Run that Streetz
Thug Passion
Ain't Hard to Find
Picture Me Rollin
Rather Be Ya Nigga
the title track AEOM with one of the best beats still
Heaven Ain't Hard to Find WITH the Quincy Jones power
Only maybes that depend on the day are Wonder Why they Call You B**** and Check Out Time
Those are great songs, I'm talking about songs like What'z Ya Phone # and Wonda Why They Call U B****
What's Ya # is disc 1
Does anyone remember when that nigga on the Joe Budden podcast claimed AEOM was full of skips and Joe himself proceeded to play every track in order so he can say what the skips were and everyone was rocking with it?
I feel the podcast space is so full of hot takes and contrarianism that many people just say something spicy and hope it'll stick but it's not even rooted in actually listening to the album. It's just throwing darts and hoping the narrative sticks.
You can say the same thing about a lot of sports, movie, etc. discourse as well. Got niggas who hardly watched Jordan play in his prime talm bout how he didn't have a bag and s*** lol.
Yeah they be talking out they ass when it comes to West Coast and half the time be wrong (except Joe is usually on point, it's the other niggas)
They at least say they're out their element when it comes to South of any era but try to act like they know with West s*** in any era
Park had me hot a few times too tho he's usually also good about it - he especially had me hot when he said 2Pacs production was "nothing special" LOL when 2Pac has one of the most if not THEE most intricate, layered and dynamic production of the era of any Rapper anywhere and a lot of it sounds good still today - he eas even doing ish that most werent on like deep subs and 808-like stab basses plus all the additional instrumentation that would be added on top of loops and samples from Dre, Daz, Warren G, Shock G, Big D and Stretch that could actually play keys and Warren n Dre had access to instrument players
Even from his very first album had ish like Brenda's Got a Baby that is still one of the craziest and atmospheric beats of all time, and he especially leveled with Strictly 4 My Niggaz of additional keys n layers, then MATW brought in live instruments, and then additional layer vocals of session singers and session choirs on AEOM and 7Day
His s*** was next level from a musical standpoint alone, along with artistic while still being HARD and hiphop
I need to create the thread I been thinking about that is basically:
Why West Coast Music Production Was Ahead of Everyone Else in the 90s and Early 2000s
Niggas was doing a lot and what they were doing worked

Using techniques and gear that took the rest of the industry 10+ years to catch up on

Perfect discussion for me to see as I’m making a west coast thriller atm
Dumbass!
Beat It lowkey the only skip. S*** is overplayed like Roar or Shake It Off.
overplayed yes but Beat It is at least a 9/10 song. Roar is only good at best and Shake It Off is genuinely bad
don't care for the album either but what the f*** does an album having a "meaning" even mean or matter.
do you enjoy the songs u dunce
Beat It lowkey the only skip. S*** is overplayed like Roar or Shake It Off.
Shake It Off is the Stranger In Moscow for the most basic and buy the numbers middle-class white woman

Hip hop peaked in the West tbh
