It’s not a classic. Album actually stinks if I’m being real.

Nah. This post f***in stinks though.

Only has two good songs. C’mon…

Not y’all jumping me. Bruh, I’m going to stand on this.

It atleast has substance this time unlike Camp

People trashing on the album weren’t there during the era
Or they think Camp is better for whatever reason

BTI is one of my all time favorite albums so imma stand too

Carousel is nowhere near the worst on Astroworld whoever says that is bullshittin

because the album isn't a classic by itself. i've tried so many times to see what people are seeing in it and I can't. the production somehow makes being experimental boring and gambino sounds like a teenager who just started questioning the meaning of life. some dope songs on it for sure but it's really just ok...listening to it with the script and the clips is a whole different story tho

God awful take

Damn I'm really spitting here

Came out my freshman year of college iirc. I listened to it a lot, it just never hit forreal.

Side note did anyone even know what GPOY meant before BTI?

I don’t listen to that much stuff. I’m sure it’s good but I didn’t listen to it.

maybe not a universal classic but as time pushes on it’s definitely proved to be rap’s true definition of a cult classic, maybe more akin to something like Clerks than Ok Computer lol. it was kind of an unintentional swan song to the blog era of rap and Gambino closed the book on his corny bars era with this one, dropping a lot of entire verses that were truly excellent on here and Stn Mtn (although there’s a corny bar here and there, but like someone else said, that’s part of the charm). experimental, yeezus-influenced production that went hard for the time, some all time great pop rap songs (i still maintain that 3005 would be a top 10 single if it dropped today now that people care abt donald) and the back half opens up and talks about existentialism and depression in ways i’ve never seen a mainstream rap album in recent memory even begin to approach. and it’s still a top 10 rollout of any album i’ve ever seen

I get the hate, I spent so much time on ktt1 defending this album back in the day, but i think ultimately the fact that we’re still having this discussion nearly a decade later proves that BTI meant something to a lot of ppl and had some level of real impact. and i think for a dude who at the time was considered a struggle rapper the level up and the quality of the album as a whole speaks to something, classic or not

album may not be classic but 3005 is

so sad that it didn’t turn out, would’ve been one of the best albums this decade

yea ik right...

what does it mean

Incredible album, i remember nearly screaming when i saw the CD at Target so many years ago. my favorite album at the time

gambino is a mastermind

People irl do
