You not joining vz or comng to the planner thread has been really hurtful Wes
I’ve been in there on and off the past couple of weeks
It was more hurtful when you left for almost 2 months
I agree with Kendrick.
Jay-Z doesn't have a terrible album but a lot of mid/underwhelming ones carried by singles or a few cuts like Vol. 3, BP2, KC, The R Kelly albums, BP3, MCHG, etc.
None of them are truly bad but they're very bloated, lack cohesion, and didn't live up to their hype.
Drake has this issue more than Jay.
For Kanye, Ye and JIK were more so underwhelming than bad. Ye wasn't that memorable outside Ghost Town and JIK as a whole was a miss and highly forgettable.
If Kanye stuck with Love Everyone and Yandhi instead, he'd be untouchable.
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
Also the consensus seems to be Scorpion and MMATBS aren't really looked at as favorably as the rest. If we're being honest they qualify as bad if we go by your definition here
It really depends on what "bad" is though.
I noticed today's music fans get very sensitive over the concept of "bad" albums whereas it was a more pervasive idea before.
I blame stan culture tbh.
I'm a huge Wayne stan but I'll be the first to tell you that Rebirth is gutter trash no matter how ambitious it was.
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

what about Scorpion? almost flawless side A but side B is almost all trash?

Well I'm back. Come join us

MM&TBS is a great album, only ones not looking at it favorably are the ones with Papi or something Drake related in their usernames
KTT2 will not contort the general narrative
Everything after IYRTITL are misses.
Bout to clock your ass with this chicken sandwich. You know who tf you talking about foo
what about Scorpion? almost flawless side A but side B is almost all trash?
Gotta look at Scorp as a 25 track album
I’d say he went 20 for 25 on that all 5 misses on side B thassa solid album my man
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
He has no “bad” projects “caninepapi”
even his worst album JIK has enough listeners. it’s mid, nothing more

Yandhi was shaping up to be some ass !
New Body
Everything after TLOP are misses.
Stop s***ting on Donda, that was a dope album. Better than TLOP to me.

This is a cop out excuse at this point. I remember they were vocal in the first week on here but it's been a year at this point with a lot a valid criticism coming from others even some of us that can see the decent aspects of it. That's like Drake stans who still think the only people who didn't like Scorpion are Kendrick stans
