Complex ranks Future - DS2 the GOAT Hip-Hop sequel

[ineedsleep212]

I have never thought of it as a sequel despite the 2 in the title once.

 

[Manolo]

DS2 and 2001 are the top 2 sequels. I’d be cool with either being at #1. Both completely shifted the culture, image, and sound of hip-hop when they dropped

 

[Mystic]

Not even top 100 hip hop sequel.

You just a hater, Future a legend bro

 

[LuuqMaan]

Clear thread from all this hate especially from the Kendrick bots

Because the first DS came out way before Future got on and nobody really heard it

 

[IWasntMadeToPlayTheSon]

Link to actual list lol

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

In what metric does this surpass 2001

recency bias

I still hear the Still D.R.E. and What's the Difference beats outside just as much as I hear anything from DS2

Hip-hop desperately needs a game changer album like DS2 tho

Anybody talk about that album anymore? I work with a few young people and the ones I know don’t care about Future that much

Yea cause he's an old school artist now of course young people are not going to talk about him. The younger generation is probably into 1900rugrat or some shyt like that

I genuinely laugh in real life whenever someone enters a thread, is profusely loud and wrong, and never returns to the thread. Come and laugh with the rest of us loved one, you'll be aight. Hold this rep actually.

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Thread reeking of "real hip hop" funk.

DS2 was a huge deal around the time. Nobody was doing what future was doing. The man managed to master the flow with melodies, while spitting over futuristic sounding beats.

Hell I would love to have that era of rap back, over this mundane shyt that's popping off now.

Nah I’m talking about people in their 30’s. People who has Wayne as their goat.

Ok gotcha

 

[semicko82]

fukking hate them man

I'm 43 years old and recognize DS2 for what it is. The old hip hop nikkas are worse than they young ones

I'm 42 and think DS2 is of the great hip hop albums
Is there certain music I'm not supposed to like as a 40+ year old man lol

It has less to do with age and more to do with stubborn ness with the 90s. I'm not saying DS2 is better than Cuban Linxs but it's a classic easily. I'm so glad I can enjoy shyt past 2004

DS1 was trash
