Black Hippy just got hot last year. That was KDot's year. This is (supposed to be) Q's year.
Give them some time! Soul and Rock will drop decent albums

You gonna knock Odd Future in one post and drop MF DOOM in at #4 like it's all good huh?
You can put the entirety of Odd Future's catalog together and it still won't touch MF DOOM.
whats the issue here? DOOM da gawd.

Doom sucks
With peers like Mistah Fab and Hurricane Chris, I guess the hood deserves every bone they get.
Yeah and it hurt not to put Pharoache Monche in there, so so close.

It was.
And if you like DOOM you're not allowed to talk about bullshit backpack rappers ever. He is the inventor of sleep-inducing boring bullshit rap.
Yep. I dislike/don't like lots of rappers that are pale, shitty imitations of rappers I like.

Jay Rock got really burned by releasing his shit first when TDE didn't have as much buzz.
Follow Me Home came out first, then followed by Section 80, HnC then Control System.
By the time Control System came out, TDE had so much buzz off of Section 80 and HnC that it was perfect timing for Ab-Soul's album to come out.
Jay Rock hasn't released anything all to much new since Follow Me Home. Only song I could remember is YOLA.
If things were different and Section 80 came out first, then HnC, FmH then CS or vice versa, Rock would've been in a much better spot.
Hood Gone Love It probably would've been a bigger track too.

DOOM released four classic albums in five years and has had an undeniable impact on a variety of hip hop. His status is undeniable.
I don't really care if y'all think he's whatever. DOOM is abstract and off-kilter and not for everyone. You can say whatever you want about him being boring, but you can't deny how unique and varied his sound has been. Fact is, dude has like 4 classic albums, and is one of the dopest rapper producers to ever do it. Y'all have already pointed out how influential he is by sticking up for rappers who are just lazier versions of him with worse flows and shock rap added to him, so I don't really have to talk much about that.

Yall truly stay acting blind when it comes to Jay Rock and for no reason at all. Stop being ignorant.
Jay Rock had a song featuring Lil Wayne back in 08. You know, when Lil Wayne bragged about how much his features would cost and such. Jay Rock had huge producers for Follow Me Home while his other labelmates stuck with these under the radar dudes. He is caking off them no matter what. He's been there day one. He introduced Kendrick to the game. He's going to release a good album when he gets the chance. Not every artist needs to release something every 1 or 2 years. He's slowly cooking for that perfection

Word up cousin, I seen it, like a 27-inch Zenith... Believe it.
Straight spiitin though fam. He was way more vicious as Sense. Dude was doing songs with Canibus and Big Pun, and shining as bright as those cats.

Doom sucks. He is a dope producer though, I'll give him that. All the people he has influenced are better than him
3 or 5 years between albums is the perfect amount but in this day and age to remain relevant, people can't wait an entire year.
I was actually kidding but wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.
Alternatively, he just don't got it to make it. He'll be that rapper every other rapper fucks with forever and will eat by proxy the rest of his life, like he's been eating thus far.
I don't hate Jay Rock, but most of the reasons he hasn't blown up aren't the circumstances surrounding him, and they never have been. Dude is really boring on the mic despite having a good rap voice. For 90% of Follow Me Home it sounded like he was freestyling all off-beat and shit. Really took away from the energy that production carried.
nope. everyone he has influenced has largely flopped in every single sense you can think of, and that includes all of odd future who have about 1.5 years till their fanbase finishes up puberty and throw them in the bushes where they belong.
