Internet nerds, myself included, get worked up over stupid bullshit all the time. They get mad, they carry on and complain, they assign things low scores, write paragraphs and paragraphs about how harmful or corrupt or immoral something is, but eventually they all roll over and let go of it. And choose to carry on about something else. I suppose its the blatant commercialism that makes the rap intelligentsia so salty about MCHG, but they ll get over it.
Its good for them to get it off their chest

So since Trap Lord was going to be a mixtape instead of an album presumably because Rocky (and Yams) regrets not selling Live.Love, is this going to be a trend for the rest of the mob to forgo the traditional mixtape and go for the full album first? It seems like its almost a double edged sword because a lot of rappers do put out very good (if not their best) material on their first project but need to give it out for free to build a fan base. And asking people to buy your shit cold turkey seems daunting and I'm sure there's a lot of hesistation and people sleeping on you because it's not free. Have trap lord sales numbers came back? Is this a viable strategy? Would this work for someone not in a "crew"?

Reasonable. It's an ok record. I can't remember shit about it after I listen to it, but I'm not hating it while it plays.
It's bottom 3 of Jay's shit though. If anybody else had made it, nobody would even remember that shit right now. -
If you're Ferg and you don't have a Rocky, you need to put out mixtapes first

I have no problem paying some money for someone's first project. Just release a stream of the album or something. If I'm being honest though, I wish there was a way these artist would let me pay for their first projects. Especially since it's rare for the first commercial album to be better than the mixtape they released before it.
Edit: I mean outside of Bandcamp. I'm not exactly sure how Bandcamp is legal when I've came across many things on there with samples in stuff. Anyone who knows how it works, please fill me in?

I liked MCHG too. Nothing great but def better than Yeezus.
I think the next person who claims that OLD will suck will create a suck vortex that'll reverse opinions on if OLD will suck.

Breh you paid money for Gamepass in 2013 instead of getting it free. I can't trust your decisions/opinions.

It is a super radio friendly song like Swimming Pools
It is not like most mainstream hip-hop at the moment...

Collard Greens has been on every party playlist I've made since it was released, I always get at least 2 friends coming up and asking me about it.
That shit would do better if Q acted/looked younger, didn't have a daughter and could be sold with a smidgen of sex appeal.
basically be K.Dot

Collard Greens will do fine on the radio. It will just take sometime for most places to catch onto it. Plus, they aren't really pushing Q like that yet.

Him having a daughter has nothing to do with marketability...
And K-dot does look younger and bit like Will Smith but both are the age and both act about their
Schoolboy's topics tend to be younger
But I don't think K-dot is overly more marketable than schoolboy

2 pages later let's get into this
compared to what, current stuff or jay's heights/capability though
...i like it, way more than MBTDF and a lotta shit but it's nowhere near there
nothing about MBDTF was classic, seriously. i just got done saying i really liked yeezus but that doesn't magically push past its many faults, same goes here
/tokus
don't feel bad, so did everyone else
i wish i loved XXX like some of ya'll, but i like these noms at least
that's not a bad thing though, to me you shouldn't be eager to hand out that status, kinda takes away from its meaning
i do agree that you should let time pass before claiming it though, aint no hurry to make a freshly-dead pope a saint neither...damn i hate talkin to moms and thinkin of irish catholic analogies n shit
<< this guy
this guy right here says it all day
ehh...they're great albums by me, again when i revisit em a bit down the road i might agree, not sure from here
there was never a point when this wasn't true.
even the biggest ye stan should be comfortable admitting this, perhaps with the "corny metaphors are part of his charm" caveat
to me if you go past that line in stannery (the inability to accept/admit this) you're that dude on twitter when #BadLilWayneMetaphors trends writing "YALL JUST DONT GET HIM CAUSE HE TOO DEEP"
this is definitely part of my criteria
i'm totally with ace on even the best having a weak track or two but yeah, no matter how high the highs the lows must be relatively infrequent
likewise i co-sign a lotta this, but i'm hesitant to put influence as part of the criteria like ya'll do. some of the best classics we herald didn't really change shit for whatever scene was popular at the time, and likewise, there's albums with the right sound at the right time that i don't think any of ya'll would call "classic" but they blew up and influenced a sound for a while regardless.
it's great when the two coincide - you could argue Criminology and others here - but they don't have to. to cross mediums, everyone goes on about Citizen Kane's cinematography, but overall top 25 greatest films (meaning storytelling, acting and all other criteria you'd expect from such a list) i don't think that alone would carry it. this argument opens the door to anything from a certain well-timed & produced crunk album to some Black Eyed Peas shit if you tow the line far enough
hahaha, yeah
again anytime im told "you gotta be in a bad breakup to really feel it" i mean...okay? so we gotta tag on situationals now? i known a lotta white dudes that loved that let the bodies hit the floor type shit when they were in basic, that doesn't mean i need to be hearing that junk when we're at the drive through at BK tho
preach, until the masses hear you
seriously, this applies to the golden calf that is the beatles too

Q is considered a swag rapper?
I mean he's got more substance and introspective tracks than your average swag rapper, but at the end of the day that's how I'd classify him. Most of his songs tend to fall in that lane.

Not as marketable, not by a long shot. Dude will buy records of hot chicks with no talent. Women will buy records from dudes with abs.
This is known.
Biggie, Fat Joe, Ross sold. Pac sold more, TI sold more, 50 sold more.
Pun may be your favorite rappers rapper, but he didn't sell shit.
I think you are confused. I bought the $100 Madden with the Sunday Ticket. And I am leaning towards not even opening it until I try the VPN method for gamepass (which isn't available in the US as far as I know) or the chrome extension gutshot posted about.
Either way all I know is that MCHG downloaded for free while I was waiting for my flight home from Athens. It helped me pass time while Yeezus kept making me check my watch (minus Blood on the Leaves and even that song Ye tries his best to ruin by the end).
That P4K audience though. Still. Less.
Hahaha. Kendrick wishes he was on his level.
Lol Irish be QUOTING yo. Give that man a medal.

Jay Pharoah called him a Keebler Elf and I can't get that out of my head. Every time I'm listening to a Kendrick track and he starts doing his higher pitched voices, I'm just shaking my head and dying
