This reminds me of a discussion I was thinking about recently.
I think whether we all realize it or not, the odds of hearing many genre-breaking truly amazing 5-mic albums like Cuban Linx, Liquid Swords, Illmatic, Chronic, etc, from here on out are pretty low. We may get an occasional one, but I think the odds of getting a ton of them are lower. So my question is, how many super dope albums that are consistently great (if not groundbreaking) does it take to get the respect of one of those groundbreaking albums?
Like, Raekwon always has Cuban Linx, and that can never be taken away. But is there ever a point where someone could drop 5 really solid 4 mic albums and be seen as having a better catalogue than Rae? Or does 1 Cuban Linx level album top a handful of 4 mic albums no matter what? I'm genuinely curious.
And lastly, it's so much easier now to release more music. So it it unfair to the 1990's and 2000's cats that they have way less music to put up against a lot of today's artists that can drop a couple dope projects every year instead of one dope project every couple years?
I agree. This is way better than pray for Paris

nikkas need to put respect on Gunns pen game I been sayin this he really raps but people too focus on his adlibsI had to spear the cocaine pot like Roman Reigns
Don't get your chain popped you know the name
You light as a raindrop, I'm on Biscayne
Rolls Royce, no top, before the fame
200 with Factory diamonds, 300 for the plain
You could never compare
Your shyt wouldn't add up, my mathematics is rare
Bob Backlund and Flair, Mac clapping, beware
Trash bag with the potatoes in the front, no air
Praise em both, after every body we raise a toast
To the one they hate the most
Went to the lot got the Wraith or Ghost
My shooter had to sniff an eighth of coke to go
shyt hurt, when you gotta put your family in the scope
Gunn was skating all over the shyt, man. You could the nikka was motivated for this shyt working so close with Rome, Stove and Mach all year.
