Alchemist is the obvious choice.

Rap duo blows up after an irrelevant debut off the strength of one classic beat on their sophomore album and a penchant for middle-man coke raps. Past their 3rd album, they release a string of middling LP's and mixtapes, experience label turnover, and never quite adapt to a shifting commercial landscape that isn't interested in them anymore. The stronger, more marketable MC goes on to launch a mildly successful solo career with a new production connection; it's a well received B-tier act, but not groundbreaking.
Am I talking about Clipse or Mobb Deep?

Yup, Alchemist. Freddie probably has the best verse on an Alc beat in the last 5 years. Scottie Pippen whew.

Tell me I'm not the only one who thinks the Yeezy Boost looks much better after getting some better pictures than those unflattering ones from Ibn that make it look like it's been through the wash cycle?
$250 though? the fuck I look llike, peterb0y?
It's has great flow. I don't think it's anywhere as good as how people applaud it for being, he's definitely had many better verses.

Well it can't be Clipse, as the bolded would imply the commercial landscape was interested in them at some point in time.

lol
definitely looks way better being worn as opposed to standalone images
still a bit questionable though

They look like hammie down sneakers from the last round of cult members after their mass suicide ritual.

Kendrick has more Grammys than Drake
Fuck.
Drake kinda peaked with his mixtape, then reached or maybe even surpassed the same level again with Take Care and dropped again with NWTS - Views From The 6 will be AOTY because apparently the Kendrick album will never drop and recent songs have been good
So Far Gone = modern classic that influenced everybody's music
Thank Me Later felt rushed, Take Care was good, NWTS was 'eh coulda been better'
This. My money is still on drake. >>> Kenneth
Take Care is Drake's opus, NWTS sounded like a b-side of the album. So Far Gone was good, but lacked the polish of his later work.So Far Gone = modern classic that influenced everybody's music
Thank Me Later felt rushed, Take Care was good, NWTS was 'eh coulda been better'
I can see not fucking with Drake but not being interested in Kendrick? Come on breh
NWTS is weird to me; it has some decent bangers on it, it has some of those corny love songs on it you can listen to when you are in the mood - but it also has Own It, 305 My City and some other filler stuff that makes me shake my head and thinking that he is able to do much better than that. Those tracks are not bad per se, but feel rough around the edges to me.
Really looking forward to his next album and tbh: if Kendrick doesn't get his shit together and Kanye really has half a dozen McCartney produced songs on his album, I can see Drake taking the biggest slice of the cake among the mainstream rappers
This I think...
At the very least Take Care as a whole got more spins w/ me personally than NWTS did. NWTS felt like it had some dope standout tracks vs a more cohesive offering in Take Care
Also... Sit your asses down at the table. It finally happened.

Did you not listen to "I" Nibel? I know you did...at least drake is poppy and entertaining. If you're gonna try to be the savior of hip-hop you gonna have to step up with something better than that.

Gotta agree with Des
and saying So Far Gone influenced everybody's music...pretty sure 808s came out before that and was the real catalyst
or at least moreso than drizzy drake lol
I think I can overall agree with that; at the time though, So Far Gone felt really fresh to me and sounded unlike anything I've heard until then.
But yeah, Take Care is his best album - wonder how much The Weeknd has to do with this

Lmfao this is perfect
Keep underestimating Drake's influence; he was influenced by 808s as well, but there is a reason why he blew up at the time

goddamn man
king kendrick
nah man not saying he wasn't influential just that 808s was moreso..or at the least more than SFG
Take Care definitely had an impact though, no denying that
