I'm a Nas guy like you, and I think that these are magnificent albums along with Magic...but for many reasons they don't get that feeling like albums like GKMC. It's on the consumers and the media...it's a narrative thing and that's a conversation for another day
Having good reviews don’t make an album classic

Those ain’t classics just good albums they didn’t impact the culture

Having the audacity to compare that crash dummy’s early 00s Jay-Z fantasy album to Victory Lap.

Victory Lap is a cultural marker, nobody besides internet rap dorks have heard Burden of Proof or even know who Benny is.

Cultural marker? How?

I'll be honest the culture is in limbo right now, we in a purgatory mainstream wise since 2018. A shift is needed but I definitely agree with you. I'm fine with "cult classic" though

Lol the clip ended right before Danny said in the new generation only Carti has a classic album with WLR, that opinion would short circuit some of the dudes on here lmao.

I hate that album but I think my opinion is irrelevant even though I liked Carti's first two projects better. I think I'm gonna listen to it later

That ain’t no classic fam maybe to Carti’s cult fanbase but his self titled and Die Lit are ranked higher

Social Media is the reason why music regardless of the quality doesnt have any staying power. Everything comes and goes.

Its a sensory overload. Attention spans are shorter. 2 min songs are pretty much standard now. Different times.



stop.

these nikkaz are huff as hell, and not really emcees.

just a misappropriated word of rapper in every sense and have no skill or cultural connection to ever be good. nor will they ever ramp to be good.

not to mention, most of them are all scary as hell and wanna be serial killers. yet to scared to come out the house to rhyme anywhere.

I think the old heads often invalidate themselves when they stop taking stylistic evolution into account.

Cuban Link is one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. But that shyt sound lofi, slow, and old school to younger people. Times have changed.

A rap classic isn’t going to sound the same now as it did then.
thats true he's not saying it needs to sound the same but that there needs to be quality there.

and this brings another question how do we gauge what a high quality album is today? i dont think the soundscapes of today really make it possible. and people do not take time to write they stand in front the mic and punch in. its microwave music literally.

Can even knock these opinions because all Carti’s album are neck in neck for me.

Carti is a real “album artist” in an era where there aren’t many of those.
