Jeezy rick Ross and the game are not wack lmao
I never listen to lloyd before
It’s all opinion based you know
I am only commenting on the mainstream buzz aspect, I enjoy an ass load of post stay trippy juice. Obv not all there were some stinkers
In the sense you're bringing up, that's the same for Waka really
I'm happy the dudes got their bag and are happy doing what they want, but picturing the 2020s with those two up alongside future is pretty saddening
Juicy gets a pass because he's been doing this since the 90s and has an Oscar lol. Yeah he's not competing with 2020s Future but he doesn't really need to, and a lot of Future's music wouldn't exist without the work Juicy was putting in decades prior
Flocka really hindered his career though. Honestly when he got self-conscious about the "he can't rap" "real hip hop" criticisms, that was the beginning of the end. OG Maco followed suit too and bro did that off the strength of 1 song
The Game
Lloyd Banks
Rick Ross
Jeezy
I feel like all 4 of these discographies are heavily applauded

Yeah they are similar stories until you break it down like this lol. Then the main similarity is just "had potential to be massive by today, but chose to not take it"
At least juicy has good s*** since 2014, not like I need these rappers to be super well known
I'm listening to "U Guessed It" right now
This was crazy ahead of its time
OG Maco fumbled hard
Untouchable > the Diary > the World is Yours btw
and My Homies Pt. 1 is a personal fav - i would personally put it over the world is yours
then the fix is #5 for me
Scarface is in my personal top 3 of all time, and you just listed my top 3 favorite Scarface albums in that exact order too, lol
1. The Untouchable
2. The Diary
3. The World Is Yours (very underrated album that don't get mentioned enough)
I love the "My Homies" album too, but that's more of a compilation album than a Scarface solo album, that's why I didn't include it in my top 3 Scarface solos.
And I also agree, "The Fix" is nowhere near Scarface's best album. Only casual Face fans who never really heard his best work in the 90's will say that. I personally think "The Last of a Dying Breed' is better than "The Fix" also.
Ludacris first 4 albums.
MF DOOM gets love but he still might be underrated. The album that gets the most shine in his discography is Madvillainy and then Operation Doomsday.

Ktt killed his career (and an unfortunate flesh eating infection)

I obviously don't put the flesh eating infection, or car crash, against him. Those were tragic and I'm extremely happy he survived.
I think he shouldn't've felt pressured to make "serious" music, nor should he have felt pressured to pigeonhole himself into making music that only sounds like "U Guessed It". But he really started to abandon the latter and, while the former was pretty good, it just didn't capture the magic of "U Guessed It". I think dude coulda done a better job at blending those styles together

Him and early Larry June r criminally underrated. That sound is insane with deedotwill, roselilah etc
All those dudes are just wack. Mfs always talking bout how dope they are their so called good albums don’t even hit like that.
The Documentary is one of the best albums of all time

We don’t have to agree. That s*** is a snooze fest
