Eminem Revival
Chance The Rapper The Big Day are essentials

But if you want a really interestingly bad one you probably haven’t heard try any of Masta Artsians albums. Id especially reccomend Mastas Liebe because its a concept album

So this is my first listen to this album after only listening to Betrayed at the time and believing the hate over this album (even though I liked the song). He's definitely a struggle rapper, and I wouldn't even say struggle bc he doesn't even try. Very basic and dumb rhymes about d****, sex, or just nothing. performed with a dry, monotone voice.

Still a pretty listenable album bc of the beats. They're hard and even a few good tunes in there near the end if you just listen in the background and don't mind the lyrics. I think if Lil Xan's personality wasn't so hated at the time and he had a following, the same music wouldn't be panned as hard. A lot of rappers in the underground scene rap exactly like this just over rage beats and get love. It's either rap is more style over substance nowadays or ppl were more mad about what this album represented. Plus doesn't help that he is a white boy "using" rap culture.

So this is listenable but not anything interesting when it comes to his performance, and it gets old after 10 minutes. But no awful sounding music here either and the last few tracks kinda go (basically all the "emo rap" sounding songs).

Best: Betrayed, Decieved.

Worst: Moonlight.

That's exactly why i said "being ahead of a curve without even realizing it" btw

Like idk how much Lil Xan is reflecting on his own work nowadays, but if i was him, i'd probably be kinda mad that you got same white kids doing fairly the same stuff nowadays, maybe in a slightly more exciting fashion, and kinda getting their audience?

This album reminds me of 2018-19 KTT when i was more active on the forum haha, nice s***

Also ironically enough i feel like even though that album is ass,if it came out today with the same vocals on some current day beats, some "rage" s*** or whatever, it would probably get a decent reception from certain type of audience

Snowboy

It's actually the combo of drop of quality multiplied by memes

Dropping mid album is one thing (e.g. people just kinda forgot about CrasH Talk by Schoolboy Q), but Big Day was over-memed to death with that wife s***, and some tiktok-core marketing didn't help that album either
