    NOTE: Some of these are not my favorite in the genre but

    Pop = Thriller
    Rap = Illmatic
    R&B = What's Going On
    Soul = Innervisions
    Rock = Sgt Pepper
    Metal = Master of Puppets

    why is What's Going On categorized as R&B but Innervisions categorized as Soul

    THANOS

    rap is too broad a genre to have one album define it

    you’d have to break it down into its subgenres

    define "THE"

    When you think Pop
    He's the King of Pop
    You think MJ
    Then you think of Thriller

    That's what I mean by "THE"

    Graduation is rap's Thriller

    Honestly, I'd say AEOM and GRODT fit that more.

    There's people in 3rd world countries that don't speak English that still bump these 2 albums religiously lol.

    Yeaaaaa I think rock and rap are toooo broad for a “THE” album. Would def have to break em off into sub genres. I did see Someone say master of puppets for THE metal album which is a fair one

    Not before Doggystyle/AEOM/Get Rich in that convo

    None of those albums are similar to Thriller

    Thriller is a concise album and almost every song is a hit

    these are all old as f*** which kinda defeats the purpose

    that’s my point, culture keeps evolving, what captured the zeitgeist 50 years ago shouldn’t be held up as the same thing that captures it now

    Um…I love MBDTF but it is not the second in line for being “THE” album in hiphop lol

    What do you think comes close to #2?

    why is What's Going On categorized as R&B but Innervisions categorized as Soul

    Because it is? lol Innervisions is Soul music and What’s Going On is literally Rhythm & Blues. Go look it up

    why is What's Going On categorized as R&B but Innervisions categorized as Soul

    Because Marvin Gaye sold his soul

    My same question lmao. And sgt pepper for “the” rock album is not it

    Maybe not for the rock but I honestly said that because that’s the album most artist site as their influence. I’d go with Pet Sounds or Rumours personally

    Might be tbh

    I don't listen to r&b like that though.

    Everytime Conf part 2 comes on though
    Everyone knows the words by heart

    Mmm Hmm

    What do you think comes close to #2?

    Chronic
    Doggystyle
    Straight Outta Compton
    All Eyez On Me
    Ready to Die
    Life After Death
    College Dropout
    Get Rich or Die Tryin
    Carter III
    Graduation

    These are all better candidates for representing the genre of hiphop culturally than MBDTF

  • Jul 20, 2022

    I still think AEOM is probably the answer for rap when you factor in how iconic and global it is.

    In 2022 Whole Lotta Red or Ūp 2 Me is closer than any of these

    So for rap.

    Would we define them by era then?

    Like boom bap
    Gangsta
    Conscious
    Luxury
    Etc..
