The term Classic is irrelevant in this conversation (it’s pretty much obsolete anyway) but yeah:

Kanye (obviously)
JAY-Z
Kendrick Lamar
Drake

We coulda said Eminem in this convo… before the disaster of 2017

Encore was always a bad album

Revival hate is corny

Revival and Encore and solid albums. Throw Em in the @op

Revival is one of the worst albums i've ever had the displeasure of sitting through

It has gems and an amazing concept as an album, but it also has most of his worst songs ever on it imho.
Why do you like it, if you don’t mind me asking? I’m interested as to what about it speaks to you

When you think it’s gonna be another generic Kendrick Vs Drake thread with some Ye thrown in and it turns into a Eminem thread instead

it is annoying when people try to force a “weak” album instead of just being honest and going full d***rider but kanye does have weak albums

ye, ksg, jik

It’s literally unlistenable pop music garbage one of the worst albums ever made by any artist in any genre

@op tell us what makes an album bad

I think it failed at what it was trying to do, but succeeded at something else just as compelling in the process, so it’s a good album to me.
Like, as just another regular Eminem album, it’s kinda booty cheeks, but as an interesting and singular look into Marshall’s psyche at the time, and encapsulation of the bizarre, toxic environment he was in, it’s amazing

“Shady Ant”

Yeah I’d rather listen to it over Revival but I wouldn’t go as far as calling it good, or even “amazing” based off a certain criteria.

It’s a pretty big f***ing fall off quality wise after his first 3 which probably have 4-5 weak songs combined.

A significant percentage of the songs are poorly executed, have bad verses or production, or are unlistenable

For example having 2-3 misses on a 16 track album is not a bad album

Having 7-8 misses on a 16 track album is a bad album

the thing with encore is that there were more good songs than bad

but the bad songs were so bad that they stuck out like a sore thumb

Love them both but Em has bad albums

Wayne is prob my fav rapper in terms of style/skill but he has bad albums

Funny that the ktt AI didn't acknowledge drake

But op wilding

Big up Papi. Greatest artist we've to touch the mic

Kendrick only has bad albums to mentally ill Drake stans who are mad that Kendrick surpassed Drake with only 4 albums while Drake has to continue pandering to IG thots for the rest of his life

it can only handle three niggas

pause

I think this is a good topic and discussion to be had here but you sneaking Kanye in isn't going to do you any favors

You not joining vz or comng to the planner thread has been really hurtful Wes
