we failed this young generation
Amazing
Also I saw that Kendrick story. Supposedly he came on to do his set at midnight?
Also don't believe any Reddit stories. Shit's all ducktales.
I mean being #2 isn't that bad but I still gotta give him a L for that Instagram post saying that #1 means so much to him; felt really desperate tbh.
The funny thing is that those Apple video views apparently do not count towards Billboard - wondering if he would have made it if it was released on YT instead.
Well, his chance is gone - Adele going to stay here for a whole year.

What's the best rap album of the decade to you? Could be a dope discussion/list.

adele big joke goes here
TDE stays fucking up, lining him up for shit that doesn't fit
also if another album on the level of TPAB kills his relevance with this generation, it's worth the loss
already have kanyes and zeldas and lots of things worried about fan expectations, don't really need another
yeah it would be pretty jarring, admittedly...odd choice
nah all we got in 2k15 is gifs

It sold like 30mil records. If she came out in the 1990s that album would have sold 50mil+. Fat white chick singing r&b ballads? Gold mine.

Honestly, its a hefty title and it will require some thought. I might have a few narrowed down but I'll have relisten.
RUDE
Abel's betrayal is just scust. OVOXO even deader than before.
If you meant "in the last 10 years" then still Common's Be for me.
If you meant "of the 10's" then obviously Kendrick's GKMC.

Wait. This is not Tinashe, is it?
That's how I like my trappers, ignorant as fuck.
Adele new single is already number 1 in 100 countries. She is the biggest name in the music industry by far, not even TSwift comes close. There's levels to this shit.

Assuming you are speaking 2010-present, I have three albums that I could make a case for: XXX, GKMC and Cocaine Piñata.
However, I'm listening to TPaB right now and the more I listen to it, the more it continues to grow on me to the point that I almost want to say it's a musically superior project to GKMC. Yet, the impact that GKMC had on me personally and the hip hop genre itself was greater. So it's a tough call there. I think I'll still go GKMC, for now.
So I'm gonna say that for me personally, it's either GKMC or XXX. Both albums had huge impacts on me at time of release, both I can continue to throw on at any time and always be floored by the immaculate ideas and production that went into them, and I copped both on vinyl. They are my top two albums of this decade.

Impact might be a little magnified here as I'm in England but Adele is an absolute phenomenon.
Undoubtably the biggest artist of our generation.
Her new song was already breaking records on the second day of release.
Nobody else has a chance of touching the charts for a long while after her album drops.

This Khaled album is kind of inconsistent TBH, highs aren't as high as his albums and a lot of the album cuts are once overs. Khaled going for the R&B-pop jams doesn't help.
However,
I RIDE ON YOU N***AS

Yup, best song on that fairly lame album.

Yeah I wasn't fucking with that Khaled record at all tbh
And Kenny went ahead and made his artistic magnum opus. He can go full on pop and drop a CD full of nonsensical bangers now.

All Love Lost is, surprisingly, really good IMO.
Content is obviously really good, deep and touches a lot of different very-Buddens places and topics. Storytelling in general is more palatable without losing any detail, just feels less dense compared to his previous projects. Little to no Emanny/Cardiak/J. Cardim appearances, which is always refreshing even though Joe has diversified a bit since he OD'd on them a couple years ago. Production is good but more importantly fitting for his style throughout. My biggest complaint is probably that pretty much every song is like 5 minutes plus on the album, that can be a turn off even before you even start listening..
Slaughtermouse and Unnecessary Pain are probably my standouts. Slaughtermouse gets better with every listen and is kind of gospel to everyone who understands how shitty Eminem is at handling his artists and his unique place in the game and the privileges Em gets. Not a fan of the fade out at the end, but he touched everything he needed to by that point.
I don't know if it's gonna stick with me, and I definitely know it won't convince anyone who doesn't care for Budden currently, but it left a mostly positive impression on me.

he's lucky to have engendered such good will off GKMC that everyone is willing to give him a pass for TPAB. he'll be fine even if he does put out another TPAB but i've never seen an artist so eager to cut off their own trajectory like that.
really though it's just another indictment of TDE poor management/planning. you can get away with a TPAB not hitting w/ people if you keep the streets fed. their whole label just doesn't get that though.

Dangeroo is on record saying he didn't think Kendrick should go in this direction, but relented due to the strength of the music+Kendrick promising him something.
Disagree on the next album tho, I don't think he can afford another TPAB type. Rap fans are fickle. Plus if he waits another 2 years he'll be 30 years old. While I don't think anyone is on the horizon who can topple Drake/Kendrick/Cole, there's still the danger of turning yourself into Lupe Fiasco. Kendrick has recently worked with London On Da Track, he shouted out Travis Scott (who responded on twitter)...I'm thinking he knows what people want. Does that mean he's gonna drop a trap album? No. But clearly his camp knows people on bangers. The fact that he's still not playing TPAB tracks consistently tells you everything you need to know.
Kendrick should go big on the next album, mainstream wise. He has nothing to lose.

skimmed though the first 10 tracks and I've heard them all before from leaks
still sounds good tho, it's a shame we never had a competent rapper hop on this shit
Rap fans of many different kinds loved TPAB, and Kendrick is gonna be hit with the same duality of "not as good as the last" and "omg best album ever" with every new release. That is the price of success and setting a precedent. Just Blaze was just talking about this RE: people's disappointment with Nas' career on ThisIs50. If someone was to make the conclusion he's too far gone, they would have made it already, and every reaction has to be tempered from then onwards.
Working with London On The Track means nothing. Kendrick has been over pretty much every beat under the sun, and has historically not put up walls with what he will get on and what he won't get on. One of his best features is still RIP, a Mustard beat at that.
The entire industry likes and cosigns Travis Scott, that's nothing new, special, or specific to rappers of Kendrick's ilk either.
And ultimately, why would Kendrick or his camp want bangers when they can retain their core audience (more important and sustainable than chasing the blockbuster) and still do numbers? TDE doesn't even move that way in their single choices or the collabos they set up so.. wat?
Not playing TPAB tracks consistently? As he's halfway through his pseudo-TPAB tour?
For real though, I don't understand where you come up with 90% of your premises, PD.

no PD is telling you kdot just made this big important best album of the genre and he should be embarrassed and holla at more garbage can emojis on twitter so the doms of the world don't allow their short attention spans to move onto forgettable efforts, lest kendrick somehow end up washed up on internet forums like overrated-ass lupe did
tl:dr rap game finally reached that kim kardashian ios game level
