LiG, trapped in the 90s? I don't remember Anthony Hamilton crooning to the top of his lungs for 8 minutes from the 90s. There's this,

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE TELL NAS THAT BREAKBEATS AND ORCHESTRAS GO TOGETHER LIKE CLAMS AND MILK
Corny Swizz, stuck in the early 00's Bad Boy Mary J. joint.
Loco Motive and Nasty are the only legits 90s throwbacks.

Life Is Good is a good album, period. Not classic but certainly a noteworthy "grown man rap" album.

Life is Good was definitely better than MCHG

it ain't go nowhere though, dude's been putting out an album like every other year since '94
the man couldn't interview worth a damn in the source days neither
yup. "Stay" > what jay's tried twice now, smarten up jigga
wasnt anything confusing on there, you just gotta keep up kams
sales-age (ignoring the samsung deal...) which really isn't relevant when talking about which album was "better" for me unless you're okay with saying drake >>> all your favorites combined, and then bam we're pop-gaf

I really wish Alchemist did a full version of his remix of James Browns Down and Out In New York City.
Shit is so good.

MCHG really wasnt that bad, god damn.
Why.....wut?
So last year there was two classic albums: Life is Good and Good Kid. The major debate on GKMC hinged on whether it would have an impact on the work of his peers. Well it didn't and he had to give a heads up on Control. Nobody even thought what kind of effect a legend twenty years deep in the game could have.
Well Jay just gave a second shot at grown man rap after Kingdom Come and he fell flat on his face again. The guy who could go toe to toe with Big L could not control a single beat while Nas twisted his tongue around an instrumental like The Don with perfect control. Eminem just released something that is playing around with the old school sound similar to LiG. The album was for Nas' trapped in the 90s ni**as and his peers. Legends listened and responded. We'll see how Em fare by the end of this year.
Everybody looked to the west thinking Kendrick would cause rappers to step up but they forgot about the OGs and the God MC in the east.

Queens Story doesn't work imo, production wise. The Marvin Gaye version that Nas did live pre-album release was way better. Remi's beat is too busy. I like the song but feel it could have been a great song with a different beat.

Damn. You must hate LiG.
Those MCHG #'s are way after release, so I just don't get what they're being offered up for. I think he did over 330k on his first week.
Control System.

GKMC before that was MBDTF.
bwahahahaha
I get that its a "classic" because its so widely loved. I just didn't really get into it.

Only Juicy J can save you now
I know.
I like Stay Trippy. But it... it's not sticking for some reason. It definitely fucking slaps, but I dunno. I guess I feel like its exactly the same stuff that we got on Cabin Fever, BDL, etc. Its a polished mix tape. Top 5 album for me probably though this year.
the kind of talk that gets friends to fart in your pillow, giving you pink eye.

What ducktales are these?
Agreed. BOATS not being what I expected it to be is the reason why I liked it so much too.
Shit dude, I totally forgot that Wale dropped an album. Jeez.
When I first saw the cover for The Gifted I thought it was a mixtape.
