Honestly people wouldn't want to be truthful. When you look at the catalogue of work its really undeniable. People would have to spin it for everything BUT the music. "Influence/sales" all that stuff.

That's why lists don't matter. People bring in all kinds of different arguments to prove their point. There's the business/sales argument, cultural impact, and I'd rather just talk about the quality of the music. People will say Jay is the best rapper and site his business ventures :why:

There's always people outside the top 5 who are as good or better than those in it but either they get left out for political reasons or a lack of popularity. People should just say who's their personal favorites and stop acting like their list is definitive.

People take that shyt way 2 seriously. They're fanatical and act like its factual. People will judge you and talk shyt 2 the point of fighting words if you have a difference of opinion. Like if my top5 doesn't match yours I my musical credibility goes out the window :dead:

the irony is that its ART. literally one of the few things that is almost %100 subjective in life :russ:

3 things to steer clear of on the coli; religion, politics, and top5s :mjlol:

This is hard as fukk.....if you don't like the slow flow over the slow beats then you don't listen to Larry June like that....just keep it moving.....

His older work was way more uptempo. I feel like it's this newer wave of LJ fans and detractors that think he's some kind of nyquil rapper.

He's just a motivational speaker over good production at this point. His projects used to be way more engaging.

This. Honestly brehs this shyt putting me to sleep. Some of Alc's beats on here are too slow. Larry June flow sound like he on that lean or heroin.

Don't know how yall can listen to this dude or cats like Boldy with their Nuyquil flows are straight trash and rhymes all off key and shyt, can't stay on beat.

shyt sound terrible tbh

Has a similar smooth laid back vibe that reminds me of Umbrella Symphony
