J Cole Says 50 Cent's GRODT Is The BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME

[DarkmanX]

I personally feel for an album to be considered a classic, it has to be a combination of impact, quality and timelessness. At least two of the three.

I agree. But at the same time your personal opinion of what quality is (or isnt) is just that. An album can still be a classic within hip-hop
and to the public despite what you and i think.

I feel like you, certain songs on GRODT sounds outdated today but its still a classic that the culture will look back at similar to other classics.

Why can't people just say they like something, and keep it at that.

I don’t think if I would care to listen to j cole music that I should care to hear his opinion on music

Free post

Well, that's his opinion and shyt

Exactly. It's his opinion. There's no right or wrong on subjective topics

I agree. I know it’s considered a classic, but I was just saying even back then when it dropped, I didn’t think it was an instant classic like others did, even though it was a huge album. Kinda like Reasonable Doubt wasn’t considered a classic because it made zero impact at the time. Now people say it’s classic after Jay started campaigning and calling it one.

POTD was a better album.

Cole annoys me. Its like he tries too hard to be real. Like he's trying to make up for is Caucasian side

He’s the male Amanda seals Mulattos tend to be the most comically over the top.

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

Tries too hard....
.he could have said best hip hop album for context....but nah...corny nikka

he was living in queens at the time, what are you talking about

I bet you would have no problem if he named a Eminem album

GRODT is not the best rapping anybody ever heard. Production is good but its not the best production anybody ever heard. So logically, how does an album without the best rapping or the best production become the best album ever?

We gotta stop giving a pass to this "opinion" shyt too. Poeple just use that as an excuse to say dumb shyt lol. Somebody will say some clear BS and you ask them to explain and its: "It's my opinion! It's my opinion! You can't question my opinion!" GTFOHWTBS

Not true. And I don’t get why people online keep saying this.

In '96, all of the Hip Hop magazines were going crazy for RD with the reviews. XXL and The Source loved it. By '97, everyone considered RD to be a classic. Back then, you didn't call something a "classic" the same day it dropped, like the weirdos do today. You let it cook. Even the non-Hip Hop spots like Pitchfork and Rolling Stone gave it near perfect scores. It's always been universally loved, by both the streets and mainstream media.

You couldn't go anywhere in NYC during that era without people quoting lines from the album, or hearing cars blasting tracks from it. The impact was crazy. Kendrick said when RD dropped, his crew couldn't stop playing the album. And when he was working on Section 80, he tweeted that he felt it was better than Illmatic. Wayne said he would study RD when it came out because he was trying to come up with a style for himself. Crazily impactful album. Not just for fans when it dropped, but also for future legend MC's.

You realize you can say this about any rap album right? You can always find an album with better rapping and better production it’s all subjective
