The Documentary. Game fed a coast that was starved with painfully obvious homage rap. Besides the production and guest verses, nothing really stands up to time. 50 is right, he wrote all Game's hits. Schoolboy Q makes better West Coast gangsta rap than Game any day of the week. This general sentiment applies to anything released out of New York this decade as well. TDE, Odd Future, Vince, and guys like Nipsey have pushed the coast to further heights than Game. Easily.

Wayne doesn't get enough respect at the moment. Carter III is easily top 10 this millennium and i'd argue 3 Peat is one of the strongest openers of any album in history. Wayne fukking destroyed that beat. Carter III was the perfect culmination of an aggressive takeover of hip-hop. It's Wayne's finest hour. He reached the summit of Everest and fell off the other side unfortunately.

to pimp a butterfly


this album is my least favorite kendrick album.

I used to think that for a long time. Then I realized how different it sounded than anything else in hip-hop this millennium. Kendrick managed to craft an album that sounded more like other black genres than hip-hop. The way he weaves in artists like George Clinton, Ronald Isley, Thundercat, Kamasi Washington, Flying Lotus, and other instrumentation is nothing short of amazing. The weird voices are off-putting, but I look back at Stankonia and how I thought Andre 3000 was weird at the time. How many new guys pay authentic respects to genres like Funk and Jazz? I can't name many.

Guys like these are simply at the pinnacle of creativity when you look back. I think TPAB will stand in the pantheon of modern black music when it's said and done.
