Like @ISO said I get people wasn’t tryna hear that at a time that trap dominated the landscape but it lasted the test of time. Alright will be a song people play 20 years from now still. Though I get it.

Revisionist history how when it came out it was the greatest album in hip-hop history and was the voice of a movement ("Alright") but years later no one is listening to it and people are only back talking about it because Cole spoke the truth on it's impact.
"ISSA Classic right"
I’m just saying off season is probably Cole’s best body of work, by all metrics it’s better than Mr Morale.Ok if that’s how it was to you then cool. I’m just saying I fukked with that album more than I did off-season and it was good album from Cole.
I guess I’m in the unpopular opinion about Mr Morale and the big steppers. Which is fine by me.
It’s cool if you like Mr Morale better, but if I’m being objective I have like 4 Kendrick albums above J Cole’s best shyt… so I don’t need to throw Mr Morale on top of it when I know it wasn’t anywhere near K Dot’s best
I like more than 4 songs on there. I like bout 7 songs on MM&TBS. Rich Spirit is my shyt
But some of Kendrick’s shyt gets hyped a lil too much. His catalog for the most part is stellar tho
Section 80 was greatness
Gkmc a classic, if people call TPAB a classic I won’t argue… it’s not a top 5 or top 10 rap album all time or anywhere close. If you wanna talk about strictly production tho you can make an argument
Untitled Unmastered was great
DAMN has gotten the classic label all of a sudden. Really good blockbuster album. Nice blend of mainstream and pure K Dot… shyt had some filler tho and humble is one of the most manufactured hit songs I’ve ever witnessed in rap history
What truth? I get it that some people don’t fukk with the album but there’s a lot of people that do. I was just listening to that album a few days ago and to me it sounds just as good if not better than when I first heard it especially when you compare it to the shyt that’s out today. The sounds and real instruments that were used on that album gave it a timeless sound. If your a rap fan I can see why some nikkaz may dislike it but if your a music lover that shyt is a masterpiece.
There’s different type of rap listeners. There’s people that are impressed with fast flows, filler bars , and forced word play.
Then there’s advanced listeners who like thought provoking lyrics, storytelling, and substance.

I'm sorry but this just ain't all that to me 
I mean, I get that it's a shot across the bow but I'm waiting on everybody involved to get in they bag.
Right now this ain't even worth the discussion. Somebody wake me up when the real fight starts

The truth that when it released those people who were praising it as a legendary album that would be remembered for all time (Cole: it was gassed) once the hype passed they went on about their merry way, but those two other K-dot albums Cole gave props for, people are still listening to those.
Cole was right.

This diss got me listening back to TPAB and Cole couldn’t be more wrong 
shyt sounds good a decade later

I haven’t talked about Godfather 2 in ages. It’s still a classic
This is the telltale sign of a ngga just chattin. It’s disingenuous af. We in the streaming age. Social media age. 24/7 stimulation age. Mfers literally DIE and ‘no one talks about it anymore’ a month later. fukk is you sayin
Cole fans are looking desperate. Bc a second ago a ngga said ‘Tetsuo & Yourh > TPAB’. Okay, so what is your metric for who’s ’still listening’ to that album?!
There is none. That’s not a real thing. You can use that for ANY accomplishment just say ‘nobody’s talking about it anymore’. And 99% chance you’ll be right. Cole fans talking points are like children. Yall WOULD think that basic ass ngga is nice
No one cares about that song
A few people chanted the chorus while marching and that’s it
Y'all call Kendrick's albums mid or ass but can't pinpoint the exact songs that garner such criticism
Kendrick don't have no Foldin Clothes or Wet Dreamz or Work Out in his catalog
Every Kendrick album is a complete body of work with few low points.
I'll rep anyone who can legitimately point me to a ghastly, terrible Kendrick song from one of his albums

This is a stupid argument, according to your logic Purple Rain and Bad, and who even knows how many Hip Hop albums aren't classic albums cause they not charting on Billboard 200 right now.
TPAB and Morale are doing fine recurrently. People are clearly listening. Both albums are in the top 100 on Apple Music US and Morale gets more than 2M streams a day on spotify, TPAB 1.4M.
Leave the sales and stream arguments to Drake stans.
