Who's really out here trying to make a masterpiece?

[Ghpstface]

Kendrick? Kanye? Jay Electronica? Drake?

Whether or not they're successful in your opinion isn't really what I'm asking... But who is at least trying to make classic, timeless all-time great type music?

Have you heard the production on MBDTF?


Tracks got full orchestration and shyt

Some fool edited my post.

My initial comment was something like....

K-Rino is 1 of the artists who never seems to come half assed, he's always doing innovative, creative conceptual work and is trying to create quality albums. That's 1 of the reasons I love his music, you're getting something different, artistic and quality executed at a high level with exceptional lyrics.

I take it your answer is kanye? Is he the *ahem* only one?

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a masterpiece, and so is To Pimp A Butterfly.

nikkas will disagree with TPAB, mostly hood DVD street corner nikkas who still wear True Religions, because it wasn't of the same cloth of his "Control" verse, or because it didn't have a masculine hip hop theme. But nobody cares what they think. The album is on its way to going platinum, and has the greatest reviews for a hip hop album in years.

U may not have fcked with To pimp a butterfly but to act like that wasnt an attempt at classic music is asinine

and I don't even care for Kendrick, he's a B- rapper. But facts are facts.

Drake will never make a classic album. He's just making microwaveable tunes for the moment for his fanbase and for women. He could never make a TPAB or MBDTF. The same way LL Cool J could never make an Aquemini. Doesn't make LL or Drake bad artists though. At all

I'm not hating on any rappers in this thread I'm asking who YOU think is at least ATTEMPTING to make classics. Real classics.

J Cole, Kendrick, Lupe, Wale, Earl seemingly give their all into there music

Tho I believe the last Hip Hop album that can genuinely be considered as classic is "good kid, maad city" when you factor in everything.

Wale is terrible. You have to be joking

Earl has no soul in his music, never did honestly, and he's a one trick pony at this point

J Cole is too much of a textbook rapper/producer to make an actual masterpiece

K-ryhmno is 1 of the artists who never seems to make good music, he's always doing lame and boring work and is trying to create horrible work. That's 1 of the reasons I love his music, you're getting something wack and not creative, executed at a low level with shytty lyrics.

Agreed
