what influence has it had? none-miniscule.
album is widely considered as the best album of the 2010s after mbdtf.

to this day, not a single new album has received the mbdtf/gkmc/channel orange reaction... not a single one. Not even yeezus

future ? drake ? kid cudi ? Waka Flocka ?

I don't like some of them but tbh all of them (minus yeezus) are quality albums, you can have an argument that LIG belongs to that list but thats it, there isn't another album that could be on it

Thank you for posting this... I didn't want to waste time responding to this... Not to mention this album brought a new West Coast rapper to the forefront who was put in the running for the best rapper out (not even Game did this with his release, yeah he was dope, but no one was calling him the best rapper out)

I see a lot of people are putting their personal opinion on a lot of these albums... I was hoping everyone would be as objective as possible

To the folks who said, delete Future and Drake off the list, you can't be serious.... Everything on the radio damn near sounds like a Drake or Future song... Half of the new acts out are offsprings of these guys...


Again, this list isn't based on what your a fan of...
dawg pay attention... all those responses are the same paid Interscope/Koondrick stan under different aliases

Kid Cudi- Man on the Moon: The End of Day
Waka Flocka- Flockaveli
J.Cole-The Warm Up
Kendrick Lamar- Good Kid, M.A.A.D City
Drake- So Far Gone
Big Krit- Krit Wuz Here


I wouldn't call Pluto, S80, Take Care classics

pretty good albums but not +9/10 worthy

Dope list, but how many of those rappers are over 30.... Can't really think some 18 year old will be bumping Run the Jewels.......

I just don't see how people are looking to discredit Drake.... lol

Waka brought a whole new sound and energy to trap rap...... Yeah Lex is an offspring of Shawty Red, but everybody was going to him for a beat the year he debuted with Flocka....

BX, NYC
I wanted to include Rocky because I see the influence he's had and his sound is being mocked a little.. Just didn't think people on here would see that... I tried to keep everything as non subjective as possible...

J Cole is dope... But for having a solid project that can be defined as a classic, I was on the fence about.. I can respect that though
Rocky's mixtape was straight, piff start to finish. I feel like it's one of the greatest mixtapes ever, and it really pumped some life back to the NYC rap scene despite it sounding nothing like classic NYC rap. Before Rocky which NYC rappers were being talked about only vets like Nas, Jay, Fab, Dipset and Nicki and French that's about it. Then after LLA, you hear shyt like Peso and Purple Swag on radio a young NY nikka being played on radio feel me

Cole's mixtapes are much better than his last two albums, it's really how he built his buzz back then that's when Twitter started popping and that #ColeWorld shyt was being talked about. Both great mixtapes, better beats, better storytelling and more flow, lyricism and personality from Cole than he's had on his first two albums. FNL and Warm Up are two of the most critically acclaimed mixtapes I've seen.

I'd also say Kush & OJ by Wiz Khalifa dude had a legit wave in 09-10 and he brought in that stoner rap, French although a terrible rapper has to have a classic mixtape he had NY on fire with that "wavy" movement with Max B around 09-10 as well. You got KRIT's 4eva N a Day just so different from everything coming from the south at the time. I forgot Waka's shyt definitely especially in the trap sub genre.

I'd also say Kush & OK by Wiz Khalifa dude had a legit wave in 09-10 and he brought in that stoner rap, French although a terrible rapper has to have a classic mixtape he had NY on fire with that "wavy" movement with Max B around 09-10 as well.

Yooooo, hahaha. I was about to put Kush and OJ on... He is def the leader of the stoner rap you have now...
