Honorable Mention: All 4 Hit projects

I don’t listen to Illmatic or Stillmatic like that

Kendrick

TPAB/DAMN/Morale get more spin for me than GKMC but I do still spin gkmc

Drake

I still listen to NWTS a lot

Views also gets relatively played it's nostalgic asf

Daft Punk:

Discovery is my favorite album of all-time.
Human After All is very underrated.
Homework is a masterpiece.
Random Access Memories is very overrated and my personal #4 in their discography.

1. Discovery
2. Homework
3. Human After All
4. RAM

Kanye West:

Graduation is his best album despite what nerds on KTT say.

Yeezus, despite being a short album, had a few filler songs I never replay. Its highs were high but its lows were forgettable.

Kids See Ghost is trash mostly, Fantanocore music.

The best song on Ye is I Thought About Killing You. Ghost Town became very old quickly because of the long drawn-out outro.

Late Registration is better then The College Dropout.

Donda was a return to form, even though it was overlong and at times unfocused.

The Life of Pablo wasn't as good as zoomers say IMO. Real Friends, 30 Hours still are among my favorite Ye songs tho.

Thoughts about Alive 2007?

If I had to pick an overrated Drake album I pick SFG

Problem

1. Chachiville

2. I Owe Myself

3. Hotels 2: The Master Suite

wattba, future, the wizrd, i never liked you, evol

I love it and remember the reception to Alive 2007.

HAA leaked and a lot of people thought it was fake (similar to Yeezus). Alive 2007 led to many fans to reconsider how they perceive the Human After All album and in retrospect the album was regarded higher due to the remixes in Alive 2007.

The Alive 2007 tour ushered a new era of electronic music, for better or worse. Artists like Skrillex were inspired by the live tour to start creating electronic music and perform such spectacles of their own. It directly led to the EDM craze in the USA of the late 2000s/early 2010s, which spawned a lot of trash music tbh but that's not Daft Punk's fault.

I would recommend listening to the BBC Essential's Mix and Alive 1997 as well. Daft Punk were old-school DJs who were amazing at mixing together songs.

OutKast: I play Idlewild more than the rest of their discography just playin
tbh I do enjoy Idlewild though even though it is firmly in last place, Bad Note is enjoyable to me for the last 2/3 minutes even though its a blatant maggot brain attempt

Now to be serious,

Mach-Hommy: I play Duck CZN: Chinese Algebra loads & yet it isn't really talked about that much really, lots of half singing on this joint, lovely choruses, good features, fitting beats

Flying Lotus: Until The Quiet Comes is probably the one I reach for the most, one of my favourite runs Sultan's Request - The Nightcaller is a superb run, Nightcaller 2nd half is one of the best grooves FlyLo has made

Drake:

Thank Me Later is extremely overhated. I liked the album, even if it seems Drake is embarrassed by it nowadays. Thank Me Later is better than Views, CLB, Scorpio, More Life, Her Loss...there is a very special feeling to the album, a sense of humanity and vulnerability that post-2015 Drake albums didn't have. My favorite songs: Shut it Down, Miss Me.

Drake's loosie collection is better than many of his studio albums. My favorite loosie: Go Out Tonight.

I used to prefer NWTS over TC but I went back to preferring TC because it has a more focused vision. Both amazing albums and his best.

Comeback Season is worth a listen, my favorite there is Going In For Life. This barely gets talked about but Drake styled his whole flow, charisma and even his rapping voice after Phonte of Little Brother, which was very noticeable early on.

I am unsure if Take Care or If You're Reading This is better or Take Care. If You're Reading This is less focused than Take Care but has so many bangers that is has to be in consideration for Drake's best album.

I liked Dark Lane Demo Tapes more than CLB. My favorite song: Deep Pockets.

Drake's musical decline is caused by OVO 40 becoming too sick to be as involved with Drake's albums as he used to be. OVO 40 was the one who trimmed Drake's music down to its essentials, kept his albums focused and gave them a coherent sound. Without him, Drake releases too much bloat, which ruins some of the vision for me.

I liked Honestly Nevermind and it was an honest change of pace. Favorite song: Tie That Binds.

Michael Jackson:

Thriller is my favorite and nearly perfect. I don't like "The Lady Is Mine".

MJ's early solo work gets overlooked a lot. I like the songs Ben, Dear Michael, Music and Me a lot.

While the posthumous Michael album was an abomination, I liked Xscape for what it was.

My personal ranking:
1. Thriller - best pop album of all-time
2. Off the Wall - best disco album of all-time
3. Dangerous - best New Jack swing album of all-time
4. Bad
5. Hi-Story
6. Invincible - not a bad album but too many ballads for my taste

Those are my 4 favorite artists, IDK who my #5 would be.

Isaiah Rashad: Cilvia Demo
Carti: WLR
Future: I have to think long and hard
Sahbabii: Barnacles

I'd def check out Alive 1997 although I usually don't care for old dance music like that

Just gonna post some I don't think everyone agrees with. Not all top 5.

Nas: The Lost Tapes like @op said

Future: Wizrd

Iron Maiden: S/T

Zach Hill: Hella > Death Grips

Aesop Rock: Skelethon

A$AP Rocky

I play TESTING a lot I understand why ppl hate it but it's a whip classic

Live Love ASAP is my fav rap album

Long Live ASAP is underrated and nostalgic it's mostly just the hit attempts that sound dated

The only one I'm not feeling as much is ALLA I think half of it is great but a lot of filler

MJ: Dangerous
Prince: Lovesexy

Feel like they got better as they went on

Isaiah Rashad I teach for Suns tirade before his other prohects

yellow album overrated and most ppl who say that’s their fav dom album prolly discovered dom thru that album and wasn’t around since 25th hour

@Vibe

maybe it’s cause i’m older but i always remembered the lost tapes and it was written being a very close second to illmaric whenever ppl would talk about his discography

u r so asap
