J Cole and Drakes debut albums ain’t even in their top 5

Does that apply to any other major rappers?

What I’m saying is that a lot of people will say their real debuts we’re the Warm up and So far gone

sounds like picking and choosing since the debut albums were hot garbage to me. why would it be the warm up and so far gone over the come up or room for improvement?

Yep, even if Section 80 was Kendricks GKMC still clears top 5

Wayne's debut album depending on what you consider his debut isn't in his top 5 either (if you consider it to be Guerrilla Warfare that's an argument tho)

Drake especially is a completely different artist from that first album. He was raw, paying his due to Wayne on every song. It was still at a moment when Wayne was his ceiling and I bet he never thought he'd surpass him.

Because the whole the idea behind this is “artist had their whole lives to make their debut album” that process changed during the mixtape/blog era because we heard original album quality songs and projects prior to their mainstream ”label” debut


let me ask you. Whats Gunna debut album?

Tha Block Is Hot doesn't have much replay value tbh.

That describes most major successful artist though

How would Guerrilla Warfare be his debut?
