Hip Hop, RnB, Pop,

Damn, now you mention it it dominated in so many lanes :wow:

Motto was the biggest Hip Hop song around that period
Take Carw was the biggest pop
Crew Love the biggest RnB
Headlines dominating the clubs
Lord Knows the Just Blaze classic
The Ride introspective bars:mjcry:
Andre 3k came through with a classic verse
Kendrick layed down a classic interlude


:wow:
That album also had Make Me Proud, Well Be Fine and Practice on it...not a classic. Numbers and having huge songs doesn't make it a classic either, Carter 3 & 4 are good examples

Practice :banderas::banderas::banderas: Damn you're making me wanna revisit the sh*t now.
All those other men were praaaaactice, they were praaaactice for me :ahh:

Only song I don't like is We'll Be Fine. Doesn't mean the album didn't resonate as classic to the world. You don't really have to agree but the impact the album had speaks for itself.
I and many people accross the world associate that album with so many dope memories.

As do I, it's a great album, I just don't see it being in that group of cemented classic albums after some years.

Edit: that album really came out 6 years ago..damn.

Take Care just can't be considered the traditional classic. Like the music quality doesn't warrant it being a legendary album. But on the same hand, it's an album that just about everybody can pick a song from that seriously impacts or impacted their day. It's the closest Drake could probably ever get to a classic with his style of music

You know Lupe is sick right now over Kendrick running with the "Kung Fu" Kenny alias. He's gonna say something. Might challenge him to a fight...

Projections are now at 600K first week:banderas:



I KNOW it's early in the year but with the album garnering universal praise as WELL as the sales to match King Kendrick better CLEAN UP the awards circuit this year. No reason whatsoever why Damn. Shouldn't be the first Hip Hop album since Speakerboxxx/Love Below to win AOTY at the Grammy's...

SINY!!
The great thing about this album........anyone who's dropping from here on out, and is committed to putting out the best album possible will have to step it up, or maybe even scrap what they are working on and start over. Hopefully he sets a tone for the genre for the remainder of 2017
