i hate throwing the word classic around, but sometimes after a first listen an album will blow you away like that

some recent examples for me this decade would be WLR, Ants From Up There, After Hours, and MM&TBS

black metal 2

her loss

Rodeo
Whole Lotta Red
Foreign Exchange
Her Loss

i haven't gone back to Black Metal 2 recently i need to listen again

lol me neither i think i overplayed it a bit, it’ll come back at some point tho

i think the rot was in my top 3 most listened 2021

Rodeo has stood the test of time so well imo

that's my thing. i overplay an album that i love like a billion times and then i dont go back to it like months or even a year later lol

Whole lotta red
Blonde
Luv is rage 2

Blonde was definitely one of those albums for me. i feel like s*** changed overnight because of that album lol

barter 6
tlop
mr morale
daytona

Raw Power
Exuma
Whole Lotta Red
Tabula Rasa
Take Care

Soon as those kicked off I knew they were gonna be HEAT

Kendrick Lamar - GKMC

Kendrick Lamar - TPAB

Nas - Life Is Good

Freddie Gibbs - Bandana

That run from Snowchild -> Blinding Lights was so insane on first listen I didn’t think he could tap into that feeling again

I knew the moment I first heard Wesley's Theory on TPAB that the album was already cemented as a classic

enlighten me on Tabula Rasa i've never heard this album

To Pimp a Butterfly.

and it is one.

Daytona
KSG

yep

Any good album since I first read a post on ktt

GKMC

After Hours , TPAB, and Blonde (right after Nikes)
😂

I do not remember the rap world reacting to Take Care like it was a classic lol. Only years later. Didn't receive critical acclaim either.

i will truly never understand TLOP slander. that album will forever be a classic to me and frankly i'd rank it above some of his more praised work

Nikes slander will not be tolerated

all love though ofc lmao
