TC hasnt aged very well either though.

so what is tc? a 9?
Yes it has breh several cuts still get spins to this day. I'd say Headlines hasn't aged well other than that album is still fresh. Which classic album from this gen gets as much burn or has the replay value of TC in 2015? None.

Take Care is 4 mics, 8-8.5 out of 10 and a era defining album.

7 out of 10 is appropriate for average albums like a Dreams & Nightmares or some shyt not a "really good" album like TC.

GKMC for starters. Which was released a year after TC but still

Also, I don't think D&NM is a 7. I give that a 5.5 or so.

The reason TML can't be a 7.5 is because TC is such a big step above TML. and if TC is 8.5 then an album vastly superior to that such Asa's GKMC would have to be labeled a perfect album aka 10/10 but it's not.

I give TML a 6.5 TC a 7 and SFG an 8/10.

I don't hear TC Anywhere so I don't know about the "burn" and replay value as well because it's not an easy album to get through. But still good for it's time.

I don't think it was the world changer your thought it was. Just a very good album that avoided the sophomore slump. But it wasn't that amazing.

Giving that album an 8.5 takes away from albums that are actual classics like GKMC and MBDTF.

I haven't gotten into Drake too much until NWTS and then IYRTITL came,

IYRTITL is dope as fukk to me but then I started to listen to SFG and then TC, can't stop listening to em. Too many classics

Marvin's Room, The Motto, Headlines, HYFR has always been a favorite of mine tho

The Ride, Practice, Look What You've Done

Then you got Uptown, Houstonatlantavegas, Successful, Best I Ever Had right off the top of my head. Forgot about I'm Goin In

Drake has such a great catalogue of music, if theres any rapper I can listen to consistently without tiring out, or someone who I can always listen to refreshing music from, its him

GKMC having higher replay value than TC is laughable. I give GKMC 4.5 Mics by the way. I told you before how I feel about MBDTF. It's not better than TC IMO not a top 3 Ye album, one of the most overrated albums ever. TC is better than SFG, I still hear TC singles at parties, on radio and in whips from time to time moreso than any supposed classic from the 2010's.

Dreams & Nightmare being a 5.5 would indicate that it is trash. The intro track is a classic, Polo & Shelltops, Maybach Curtains, Amen, Burn, Traumatized, Tony Story Pt. 2, Who You're Around. Dreams & Nightmares was a 7/10 solid street debut.

TML with The Resistance, Fancy, Shut It Down, Miss Me, Light Up, Thank Me Now, Karaoke, Fireworks, Over, Show Me A Good Time only a 6.5?

Let's keep it funky, Comeback Season and Room for Improvement were some of the best projects of those years. I remember when those mixtapes came out on :hamster: I said this is where hip hop will be in 4 or 5 years maybe less. Joints were kinda reminiscent of Little Brothers and theres definitely that Phonte influence but he rapped with a combination of skill, wordplay and emotion few were able to really come together with without soundy overly whiney or cheesy and he appealed to a female demographic that was somewhat underserved. Are they true classics, not quite but I would give both projects a solid 4 mics.
