J Cole Says 50 Cent's GRODT Is The BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME

[bigdaddy88]

Its one of those albums where you just had to be there. I never thought it was a 10/10 album quality wise but it terms of impact its as classic as any album Ive ever been around for.

impact hell yea u damn right.....but best album of all time????? that is egregious

Sometimes opinions are wrong. Even on subjective topics.
There are things that I like that I know are not good or great.
Me liking it doesn't make it good or great.
Kinda like being attracted to someone who's not conventionally attractive.
You'll be fine.

Now you're just introducing False equivalencey if you want to really go this route nikka.

It was kinda like how Soul on Ice was, which is wild because they dropped on the same label, just months apart. Critically acclaimed, but at the time, it wasn't selling that much.

I bought RD the same day it dropped, because they were promoting like crazy on the underground college radio shows way before. So we all knew the date. A lot of the album tracks were already being played on the shows, so we kinda had an idea of what was already on there. We used to go up to the Rucker, and all summer, you would hear tracks from RD, Nas "Street Dreams" and "If I Ruled The World" and a lot of Pac. It was being played everywhere in the city. But from the stories Ras Kass was telling recently, in other states, people had the album too and knew all the damn words to the songs, lol. It sold mad slowly, but I think that's because everyone was making copies of sh*t back then, unless it was some super known artist.

BTW, Coconuts was the sh*t! I used to find a lot of rare Hip Hop posters in there back in the day. They always had the mad high prices though, lol.

crazy high. I remember I got master p ice cream man and the firm album (I think) and that shyt was like 40 dollars. 40 dollars was a lot to me then! I think thats why we appreciated music more too due to the prices. I didnt know coconuts was a national chain store...I always assumed it was just down south back in the day.

GRODT is universally regarded as a great, impactful and classic album. You’re trying too hard.

I don't agree, but I get why he feels that way. I'm the same age as Cole. While, I don't think as highly of GRODT as most people, the album was undeniable.

Nah, Take Care is.

Exactly. To some it's massive. To others it's meh. Neither are wrong. So not sure why some nikkas are so upset by this

Def influential af, but I can’t front, while GRODT is a dope album but NO WHERE near true classics.

It’s brehs opinion, I just think it’s stupid af, especially compared to true ten top caliber albums.

I feel like you can definitely make an argument for GRODT being among the greatest hip hop albums.

It's a classic hands down.

They were kinda like Tower Records because they used to get everything! But their prices were crazy.

All of the albums in there seemed to be like $19.99, lol. I even bought one of my first Sony Discman players from there too, and that was mad expensive. Way more than I saw other places charging later, lol.

It is…and it’s impact is far greater than a lot of albums that I, and many others think are of better quality.

Impact doesn’t necessarily mean quality.

Liquor Swords or reasonable doubt, had about zero impact, but is TM101, or GRODT a better album?

Impact wise it’s arguably top 10, up there with The Chronic, 36 Chambers, RTD, fear of a black planet, straight outta Compton.

However, it’s impact seems to be limited to the early 2000s where albums like TM101 and Kanye’s first 2 albums are still influencing music to this day.

I’ll argue TM101 was far more influential/impactful than GRODT, especially considering all the current nyc rappers try to sound like they’re from atl.

If you hear that coin drop most nikkas know what's coming. Straight into what up gangsta. Def a classic. Impact and quality wise.
