I don't even like it but it really is Die Lit. It was just too good and did so much for Carti. The critics didn't d*** ride it but if you were outside it was the people's album

TPAB and Yeezus are the true cult classics of the 2010s.

Yeah I never understood all the extra stuff artists try to do the most with. No one in the future is going to take that into account just put all that energy into the music and make it good

Childish Gambino's "Because The Internet"

Accompanied by a 72 page screenplay, Gambino literally crafted an entire universe for the main character of the album, simply named "The Boy". Gambino often wore the same outfit in TV press interviews and late night talk show events to further bring the character to life. The album was also supported by 2 shorts, the major release being "Clapping For The Wrong Reasons"

Why is this a cult classic?

BTI received quite average reviews across many publications. However it is considered a full package and masterful experience by many fans and listeners who commend the multi-dimensional avenues Gambino chose to explore.

There's been 2 other major releases with an underlining theme and further production on a large scale. Those being Kanye West's "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" and Frank Ocean's "Endless". Both of contained high end production design.

What about the music?

BTI explores various genres and sounds from the gorgeous and trippy "Flight of the Navigator", lead single "3005" to one of the best records of his career, "Telegraph Ave".

"I had a dream
I had a dream I was flying over all of us
There were so many pretty people, so many pretty faces
I talked to some birds, I fell in love again
And none of this ever ended
Everything just kept going, and going, and going
And even when you laughed, you cried
And even when you were sad, you were really happy
Cause you were here, and I got to meet every star
Every planet, everything that made me
And we all kissed, and became the same
We became the same, we became the same."

Gambino also provides some classic hip hop with a cinematic twist in "Crawl"

What are some good cuts?

We still haven't discussed:

• Pink Toes
• Shadows
• Playing Around Before The Party Starts

Conclusion:

We just don't see albums like these anymore. The story, universe, characters, visuals all tie in together. We have been brainwashed with basic rollouts, 1 video here, track list there, available now! It's cookie cutter. It's old.

The sonics are a wave of lush summers, vibes in the middle of July where you're falling love. This album needs to be cherished for it's experience, I honestly think it's made to be heard on the island of Kauai as the sun goes down.
