4eva is a Mighty Long Time

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

Is the best hip-hop album of 2017, and will go down as one of the top Southern hip-hop albums of all-time. It's better than anything that Jeezy, TIP, or Wayne has put out in terms of craftsmanship and vision (no disrespect). Hard to find songs like Price of Fame, Drinking Sessions, and Bury Me in Gold in any of their catalogs. I probably wouldn't any KRIT tape over Carter III on an all-time list, however I hope you can see what I am getting at here. 4eva is a Mighty Long Time celebrated KRIT's Dirty South roots while elevating the sound to modern heights, and KRIT is responsible for the musical direction of the tape.

Mark my words: KRIT's discography will age gracefully and he will experience a rejuvenation down the line when the Dirty South sound surfaces in the mainstream because hip-hop is cyclical.

I'm really surprised that Rate Your Music has 4eva is a Mighty Long Time as the #9 album of last year. KRIT definitely has the ear of the music enthusiast community. This guy is really just getting started still (hard to believe), and I don't worry about age because KRIT speaks from the heart and real life experiences. Life never runs out of subject matter to talk about if you are honest.

Can't wait to see what KRIT puts out next. He's a workhorse and delivers quality day in and day out.

Also, tough to find more of a champion of black excellence than KRIT. He's been the silent conscience of a generation since the get go.

U couldn't post this in the official thread of the album

Kendrick gets 50 analysis threads for everything he puts out, so I don't see how starting more KRIT discussion is a bad thing.

It was my AOTY and a great piece of work

Fully agree. It's an incredibly layered and complex album, and KRIT's pen game is at his strongest. It's easily the strongest project in his discography.

im a stan admittedly but its def my favorite album of 17....if you have a chance to see him on tour GO, does the entire album straight thru with an intermission with the dj doing all his classic shyt

 

[Magnum P.I.M.P.]

Instant classic. Nuff said.

 

[DrunkerThanAMotherfucker]

Instant classic. Nuff said.

The contrast between both of these songs are the perfect example of KRIT's range

Disc 1



Disc 2

I think this is K.R.I.T.’s best work and he’s got a lot of great albums

The album is already aging incredibly well. There's a lot to unpack. I think double albums always benefit from time just due to their nature.

Layup is
all at once. Love the Bone Thugs homage he paid by employing they flow.

I love how he's updated UGKs sound and made it palatable for this generation. I agree the brothas music will age well due to his emphasis on live instrumentation. Nikka music just got so much soul

I also like the slick metaphors on Confetti, dope beat switch halfway thru.
