Game changing albums

[28 Gramz]

Migos-YRN

 

[Ohene]

Trap Muzik wasnt game changing at all.

Anyways..Get Rich or Die Trying, The Blueprint

 

[BmoreGorilla]

^^^ Flows and deliveries became more relaxed and melodic

^^^ kind of helped open up the lane for the whole Bad Boy dominance by taking Pop loops, applying sing, songy hooks (check "Street Dreams") and turning them into platinum succ

Ill be honest. I don't think IWW influenced anything. I think Nas was trying to keep up with the times. His pen game stepped up tho

 

[Paper Boi]

i think 50 cent started talking about numbers more around the massacre which completely changed how hip hop is discussed online.

the album itself was nothing groundbreaking though.

TI coined a term that now is considered to be a whole sub genre of hip hop. That has to count for something. Even tho it didn't have what we consider the now to be the trap sound none of it would be possible without that album

ill give you the coin...but TM101 musically more impactful. Lil Jon' Kings of Crunk tooo

 

[SuburbanPimp]

TM 101 was a gamechanger more than Trap Muzik.....

Also The Love Below birthed 808 and Heartbreaks...

The Love Below was the first time we seen a rapper make a full cd of melodies and about love.

The Chronic
Get Rich or Die Trying
College Dropout
GKMC

Come to mind as CDs that dropped and kinda changed the climate of the rap game

 

[Nero Christ]

in terms of what concept albums are now a days in hip hop, I consider this to have started it all in terms of sticking with the story arc throughout the whole album.

Ill give you TM101. I cant comment on Kings of Crunk tho

Listening to Puff's No Way Out, Biggie's Life After Death, and Foxy's Ill Na Na, there's definitely touches of his influence from IWW.

Ye: College Dropout's success on all sides pushed everyday relatable rap to a different level imo.(the lane existed well before ye, critically acclaimed acts and all but this was different shyt alot of them got major success and second wind's after this). No college dropout means 70% of the rappers you hear today don't get that look. People credit this to Gradaution but that was just more visible because of the marketing of that whole face off with 50 thing. The College Dropout really should get the credit for this. Lupe, Sean, Cole, Drake, Kendrick etc no dropout no them.

Ye again: 808's: no explanation needed you hear it. love below came first but was nowhere near as dark and moody sonically or lyrically.

Drake: So Far Gone.

This. Without Trap Muzik, there would be no Jeezy. One listen to Jeezy's earlier music before he got on is evidence of that.

 

[Shogun]

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.

This album also comes to mind:

^^^ artists have spent careers trying to duplicate this formula. "I need the street song, the introspective joint, the club record, the song for the ladies" type album since it dropped.

Listening to Puff's No Way Out, Biggie's Life After Death, and Foxy's Ill Na Na, there's definitely touches of his influence from IWW.

I think Ready to Die was the album to open up that lane. That album and Nas losing to Big at the Source Awards is what led to IWW being made the way it was
