Pretty solid list tbh agreed

I’d maybe replace Kendrick tho with a Latin artist or something but yea really solid list

You could arguably replace Kendrick with like Tyler the creator or Drake

He has the weakest claim on that list imho

Love Kendrick tho

kendall roy guest appearance at coachella performing L to the OG

i care for you still and i will.. forever

that was my part of the deal…

voodoo and black messiah
plus a lot of shows, tv appearances, etc

Definitely an interesting list

also, on the voodo 33 1/3 book, the writer (who interviewed a lot of people from his camp to write the book) said there were plans for a new d'angelo album back in 2020, but of course pandemic etc

so i still got hope for at least one album from d'angelo and one from frank

we deserve these albums after all this bs we went through in life this decade

having to add an explanation after kanye is so lame

i agree

i know, but this is a public forum and there are so many childish people that would go "but kanye nazi now", so i figured i would add it before anyone says anything

Gorillaz set was insane.

Frank next

theres nowhere more negative about kanye than the kanye fan site nowadays

just crazy because your list is almost identical to mine and 2 years ago it would be blasphemy to keep kanye off but now you have to be like "I'm sorry hes a great artist im not a nazi i swear..."

i know... it is what it is
i feel like those 5 artists are the very best we have in our generation, from innovation to lyrics to instrumentation to performance to artistic vision

all of them are "complete" artists and i honestly can't find anyone else to put in the same tier

of course we have a lot of very good artists like drake (who has been better before), tyler, childish gambino, etc

and other people that still haven't reached their full potential like sampha

but as far as the very best, those are the 5 best ones

I HEAR FRANK IS COMING OUT FOR METRO BOOMIN

.-.

In a couple years time everyone will forget about the Kanye anti Jewish stuff like they did the Taylor thing (not to equate the two) and people will be able to appreciate him for his music again

I’ve heard Kanye out in public again like from peoples phones peoples cars etc

It’s really just posturing if you’re like oh ya I’m deleting Kanye music cuz he said some nazi s***

You can say I don’t agree with Kanye’s latest statements
And I love all his music

That’s not illegal

AND his clothes….

People was burning Yeezys to prove they not something

Yea I don’t really wear Yeezy brand but yea you can still wear Yeezy brand and not be a nazi

The same way you can drive a Volkswagen and not be a nazi

mf doom i would exclude from this top 4 because of the excellence both commercially, influentially, relevance, critical acclaim etc but i know he holds a special place in some peoples hearts

but in general frank kanye kendrick dangelo tyler weeknd tame impala etc all did that
