didnt read OP but just came in here to say Victory Lap is a top 5 album of the 2010s
and The best album from the coast since Doctors Advocate
Victory Lap is fire. And I just replayed No Pressure yesterday, it's only 8 tracks but that entire thing is one of the best tapes of the 10s, too. He was rapping his ass off on that tape...
He died as he was peaking. No Pressure and Victory Lap were his last two drops and his most elite, most skillful lyricism of his career...
yall think he had enough music in the stash for another album?
Who knows but he was ascending. Racks In The Middle was dope...
He was ascending like a muhfukka, it'll always be sobering that his music wasn't as appreciated in real time as it became after death...
