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

[Ghpstface]

The fact that this is a legit question shows the state of the game.

Who's your pick(s)?

 

[Bomberman]

The Weeknd going to do it.

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.

So cac reviews on the internet mean more than nikkas on the corner?
Aint nobody bumping kendrick cause he wack. Album was forgettable.

Good answer

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

Kendrick is never going to drop an album as good as take care. And neither of his so called classic albums possess an assortment of memorable songs to back up that claim.
However drake and kanye have the songs to back up those titles. So does LL

they're not trying nikka. have you heard Wale's new album? it sounds like audio AIDs. then he wants to cry like the bytch he is that he doesn't have the acclaim Kendrick has. Wale's always been a light skin nikka drenched in shyt

Earl's main thing when he first came out was that he was a mysterious image. Now in 2015, he tweets 3737383 times a day, seems more concerned with preaching pseudo knowledge on the Internet with actually making a timeless album. That alone ruined his mystery image (which was a good percentage of his appeal), and he's just now some ordinary rapper with ordinary music. Doris was forgettable and so is his new shyt

I can't really say for sure...the answer should be that everyone is trying to make the best album
they can, which can only happen if they are trying to give you a complete thought.

However, as some have said in here, today's rap climate seems to favor a rapper having
content out more than them making a statement.



All that said - it seems like J. Cole, Lupe, and Kanye are trying to do this...but it seems
they are trying to force it.


...but fucc it, what the hell do I know?

The Gawd dropped one on Jan 19th...

Tetsuo and Youth came out the 20th, breh.

 

[Apex]

Kendrick and Lupe are creating elite-level music.

You nikkas act like Take Care is the 2015 "What's Goin On", the fukk out of here. Album fukking stinks, if Kirko Bangz made it no one would care, case closed

Album wasn't even the slightest bit cohesive

 

[intilectual recipricol]

Tetsuo and Youth came out the 20th, breh.

I dunno loc I had it when it leaked and remember the 19th or 20th when I copped at Target... you bein a dikk right now tho

"ain't nobody bumping Kendrick album"

yeah that's why it's going platinum

and it's not just "cacs" buying it either

but whatever helps you sleep at night, Rap Radar Reject

 

[Don Jesus]

you nikkas have extremely terrible music taste/opinions, just because YOU and YOUR homies didn't listen to an album past three days doesn't mean the album is forgettable

 

[GeeEffKay]

Kendrick has done it twice
