Real asf. Yep people don't even pay attention to the mid ass music, they just want entertainment... Smh

i don't know how anyone would even disagree with this take though lol the fact that this is considered "bait" shows how much ktt actually buys into gimmicks lol

Weeknd 80's character gimmick

I mean based off OP’s logic and examples that means Damn is mid cus of the kung fu kenny gimmick

I mean DAMN is Kendrick’s worst album so it proves OP even more tbh

Worse Kendrick album =/= mid

I swear we stay ahead of the curve. We get called boomers then months later we always end up being right then everyone pretend like they weren’t stanning these gimmick artists

some of you niggas care about music a lil too much 🤨

I mean its a music forum first and foremost lol why even have discussion forums if people dont care?

And kids see ghost but that was decade in the making...

I'm not sure OP

Thug wore a whole victorian style dress on his album cover and it turned out to be a classic

Took them a decade to make a 7 songs demo with only 1 verse from each per song, no mutual verses where they trade bars, not enough bridges, song topics not fully fleshed out etc ehh

...okay?

He’s an anomaly, not the norm lol

That album was not meant for bars on bars it was great for what it was. No gimmicks. Great samples. A mix of different genres of music. Just pure music. Good music...

I'm not sure OP

Frank dyed his hair blonde and streamed a whole video album and then still dropped a classic

OP bro, I'm still not sure

Kanye did a whole album promotion saying he would retire if 50 sold more than him and he then dropped Graduation

Yeezus was a gimmick album. So was Igor.

Not saying there isnt some truth to OP but there are also examples where the opposite is true.

that was 50 who said that but go on

yachty didnt have a gimmick lol

Them boys were on magazine covers together face to face like they tyson and lennox Lewis bruh

It was his gimmick too

everyone was in on it. wasn't a real beef
was all for PR and good showdown tbh
