Oct 26, 2015 Pluto is a masterpiece and was wildly influential ah yes, because drake is the picture of masculinity if you don't listen to rappers because of their clothes you would never have gotten into rap when it started. you sound like an eighth grader.
Oct 26, 2015 iiiiiiiiiiii dunno if i agree that his rapping > production on CD. you want to argue optics, ok.. ill bow down. i could see he's underrated as a rapper (ill spar you from quoting numerous articles criticizing his rhymes), but he's great enough to be the #1 slot? im not going to convince you, that's not why you made this thread. i will suggest i think there's a rhetorical hiccup in why kanye is #1 in 2004, but not dre in 92 in short: madvillainy > cd... but kanye (not a better pure rapper) still beats doom... this is as always semantics... and why arguments like this tend to boil down to splitting hairs
Oct 26, 2015 sigh. andy, andy, andy. that's not what i said. the beats are better than the raps. the raps are why the album's cited as a turning point for mainstream hip-hop. MULTIPLE articles? i'm sorry, i, i...didn't know. i think there's a critical hiccup in comparing 92 dre to 04 kanye.
Oct 26, 2015 But yeah i would have Eminem on 2002 and probably Lupe on 2006 or 2007, YG on 2014, probably not top 2 but quite high, maybe Andre for 1998?
Oct 26, 2015 I got other reasons for not being a Thugger dickrider. But I'm good with the Thugger fan base. I don't wanna f--- that up by stating my opinions.
Oct 26, 2015 yg is not a bad pick for 2014 at all. very reasonable. lupe is not higher than wayne/kanye/ti. as i said in the op, outkast could win any year they dropped, honestly.
Oct 26, 2015 So... The greatest rapper of all time (2000-2002 Eminem) isn't on the list? That's absurd and simply ignorant
Oct 26, 2015 lol in what sense is drake the best this year? by releasing a mediocre solo tape? and then dragging future down with a forced collab? k and what thug projects have you heard from this year?
Oct 26, 2015 lol come on. yg is a very good rapper who made a classic album. some of the songs he stole from the weeknd are good "that's absurd and simply ignorant"
