Eras in their careers that you enjoyed the most

Imma start with a couple recent artists. I'll get into more in my future posts in this thread

Kendrick's TPAB era from 2014-2016 is hands down my favorite time in his career. After GKMC, he had so many expectations to live up to

He shattered them shyts and didn't conform to the radio

TPAB is a masterpiece to me. And untitled unmastered was an EP of throwaways. These throwaways were better than most artists' full studio albums this year and maybe beyond

Not to mention his feature run
:wow:











Won't post all the greatness. Here's one of the greatest unreleased snippets of a all time. lt's looped. But that moment in the Alright music video when it first dropped
:wow: :wow:



The legendary live performance run he went on. Here are my 2 favorites





And here's one of the many cutting room leaks in this era that would've been some of the best songs of his career

Lil Wayne's mixtape run era. Like the period between 2004-2008. I consider this prime Weezy even though he's still rapping well these days. He spazzed on that newer joint Kant Nobody

Dedication 2, Drought 3. Those years before Carter 3 dropped were special

One of the greatest rappers to ever do it

Depends on how you define "era."

I think Nas from in his prime form from 94-02 all around but 1999-2000 still remains somewhat of a blemish to that era even though the other years were excellent for him.
