depends what kind of rap u like what u choose but of
Tigray funk by sideshow,
Sir Render by navy blue,
it’s been awful by Isaiah Rashad,
Pompeii/utility by earl and mike
Trojan horse by Matt proxy
Xavier by xaviersobased
Bling slime vol.1 by diamond*
Bloodluxe by slayr
It ain’t better than every single one of these lol
Inb4 first part is completely ignored and the ones that aren’t the type of rap he likes are cherrypicked
man shut the f*** up
nigga said DIAMOND
brah listen yall gotta stop comparing these niggas years to literal cultural superstars, drake dot cole future dont play in the same league as f***ing navy blue bro and xaviersobased. it dont even make sense to put them in da same lane. literally no one u sent is a mainstream big rapper, its always easy to say that the mike and earl project is better than drake but also who the f*** would even u know what nvm bra
Nigga wtf is a sock muncher????
It means you keep eating socks bro

stop eating them socks bro
in 2023 i made a album of the year list comprised of everyones fav albums in my discord. we didnt rank any of them, and simply chose a mainstream and underground album of the year. it made so much more sense
we gave renaissance mainstream aoty and fast trax 3 underground aoty.

this list really does hammer home the fact 2026 has been a pretty mid year for rap ALL THINGS CONSIDERED
Lucki...I mean Earl/MIKE fans don't kill me for that please. I went to Young World this past Sunday.

Yea rap is a wide genre hence whhy there’s more than 3 projects there, and it doesn’t matter how much better marketed he is the music can still be worse than something smaller lol yall the ones equating commercial appeal and label support to quality somehow. I mean asap rocky and Vince dropped better albums too with a lot more interesting cool s*** going on and zay is from around the same era he’s on there all 3 of them are mainstream. Mainstream just hasn’t been good this year so far. Saying Drake made the best s*** of the year is a point of comparison lol u can’t just have it one way

Tbh I’ve been enjoying it a lot but I can understand that
Yall keep engaging leftside knowing he’s Mr. Contrarian of the site is bonkers
But he aint wrong bout that list lol.
It’s Been Awful the project that made me come to peace that Zay just aint gon be like the rapper I envisioned he’d be after CD (which is totally fine!)
It’s loooooads better than THIB tho. But yeah.

list aside, iceman is at its best good sounding safe traditional music and its just a decent drake album with massive flaws without appealing to what makes u feel good fitting in I don’t think painting Drake as this guy that’s keeping the genre alive and competitive and like ahead of the rest is accurate.
It’s just a late career project from a big artist with some catchy hooks and nice beats. And that’s fine. It don’t gotta be more than that for someone to like it.

idk why what i said is so crazy nigga why tf are we comparing earl to drake
drake is a professional rapper bro not saying those others arent. like i think kanye said it in his drink champs but dudes like him rocky dot all playing a different game than the underground rappers bro. also drake smoked all them dumbass niggas in his age bracket if u think dont be dumb is better than iceman i have absolutely 0 to talk to you about u just might b slow

That album doesn’t really offer anything other than hooks and some pleasing beats thru the formula he’s done forever that’s my whole point lol what other game is he playing the radio game? These are all signed rappers dawg some around his age just because they don’t have the same level of industry level push doesn’t mean it’s not better? This argument can be used if like I think s80 or Spaceghostpurpp is better than a eminem or 50 cent album in 2011 stop equating commercial success to quality.
Don’t be dumb is actually like boundary pushing and incredibly varied. In the context of his career it’s him doing something with his artistry and trying to make the most authentic vision he can that ties back to what he LOVES about music. It’s authentic, expressive, colourful, creative, and different. It excels at something and goes all in on it ans I don’t have to appeal to metrics every time I wanna talk about how I like it. Even if you don’t like it the idea of giving him a medal for being better than his washed peers is like I guess bro
Glad you thought twice p****
Thought twice about what nigga? Shut yo dumb ass up boy.
B**** ass parasocial nigga so pressed cause someone said something about Drake that HE responded to the SAME message twice, 6 hours apart LMAO. Get a life and get Drake's d*** off ya tonsils.
