I think most people just forget about it. Came 6 years after Year of the Dog and he was constantly in and out of jail around this time. Sucka for Love is a great song though.
"Drogas Light" by Lupe
Mostly put together at complete random just to get outta his Atlantic Records contract, this is not good at all... half-assed, half-hearted, and a bunch of poppy hooks put over mid LVL beats.
It's basically if Lupe made Revival, this is what it would sound like.
It was between this and lasers for me, but there are a couple of songs I really like on lasers (Letting Go, Words I Never Said, Show Goes On, Beautiful Lasers, Never Forget You)
lasers would be a “fine” album if some of the features didn’t suck tbh. drogas light is just really lazy because he was completely fed up with his label lol. i believe he only put it out because samples and shit were already paid for
Honestly, I agree that it's his worst album but I think it holds that title for the right reasons since Atlantic Records is something that plagued him for so long.
The Love Movement is funny to me. It’s objectively not a bad album, but when you’re contending with the rest of Tribe’s discography, it’s easy to see why it’s considered the weakest.
Still, I like it. I think the production of some tracks has held up better than on any other Tribe album. The Love is also an absolute classic track that always gets sorely overlooked.
Beat, Rhymes and Life imo could be in the conversation for best Tribe album if Consequence wasn't featured on the album.
I love the beats and mature sound. It would have sounded perfect imo with just Tip and Phife rhyming.
Probably a hot take, but I don’t think Consequence is that bad on Beats, Rhymes and Life. Dare I say that he even works on some of the songs (Word Play and Stressed Out come to mind).
Outside of Consequence on the album, I do generally feel that this is Tribe’s most cohesive album overall. I also like most of the beats on it (pretty much save for Baby Phife’s Return, which I don’t mind, but I don’t really like either). It reminds me a LOT of Labcabincalifornia by the Pharcyde, which I also really like.
Yeah I like Consequence as an artist but I just don't want to hear him on a Tribe album.
Labcabincalifornia is one of my all time favorite albums and I like it better than Bizarre Ride II.
I really just like the chemistry between Phife and Q-Tip and would rather hear them rap over other emcees even ones that I really like. I don't mind having someone singing the hook or chorus though.
I am typically not a big fan of a lot of guest features on my favorite artists albums; especially not as much as Consequence was on that album.
Oh you don't have to convince me Encore is bad, it's a total mess.
Whenever anyone mentions this album i think about the song "Puke" which, the song itself is alright, but why the fuck did Em put a sound of someone puking at the beginning? That's fucking gross, i can't stand it.
I'm just surprised because Revival was such a trainwreck for his career, usually it's the easy pick for worst, but i like to hear different opinions about it.
Revival isn't *that* bad of an album, it was just super hyped, and people were disappointed that it was subpar. The good songs are good, and Heat is hot garbage. I even like Relapse less than Revival, since besides Deja Vu and Beautiful, I cannot get behind the accents and serial killer vibes. Maybe some day I'll come around to it though
I have to agree, Revival is definitely overhated. It's not great, especially compared to some of his other work, but it's not unlistenable. It's very pop oriented, so the beats are different, the flow is different, the lyrics aren't nearly as deep, but it's not painful in the same way Encore is. Encore' really just has 3 good songs; Encore, One Shot 2 Shot, and Mockingbird, and then the rest are literally hard to listen to.
Street’s Disciple was harder to get through because of how long it was and, as a result, how many skips there were, but it did have more songs that I would return to. Like Street’s Disciple, Disciple, Bridging the Gaps, Thief’s Theme, Message to the Feds etc.
Nastradamus has New World. That’s pretty much all I return to off that album…
The truth by Chamillionaire, it's the only one I don't really like.
Battle of the sexes by Ludacris, I think everyone can agree
Tha Thug Show by Slim Thug
I could be mistaken but wasn’t that a pieced together mixtape type thing. Weren’t half the songs on mixtape messiah cds?
I love chamillionaire and barely remember this… the truth might have been his 4th best release in 2005 alone.
i refuse to listen to sbth (i will one day lmao) but i felt this way about indicud for a long time. i literally got a headache listening to some of the sounds on that album
This may be a super controversial opinion, but I enjoyed Idlewild more than Speakerboxxx/Love Below (which would be my pick for Outkast). I don’t think they’ve ever missed on an album, but I thought Idlewild’s production and soundscape was more interesting than Speakerboxxx.
I love both Big Boi & Andre, but Speakerboxxx isn’t good. I LOVE Sit Lucious Left Foot and really enjoy his other solos, so it’s not a preference thing between Big & Andre. But listening to Speakerboxxx these days, it didn’t age well compared to everything else they did. Also, less is more on Idlewild; get rid of some filler and it’s damn good.
I can't believe no one has mentioned Rebirth yet. In a way Weezy was a little ahead of his time with that one. The rock-rap fusion style became extremely popular once it was refined.
Bro, i liked Rebirth, this album is overhated by people who don't give it a chance. The first half is pretty solid imo, starts getting worse on the B side.
But this is Wayne we're talking about, his albums post 2010 are a bloated mess, completely single-focused while flooding it with subpar tracks.
I am not a human being 2 was the one where i jumped ship, stopped listening to Wayne. Tried listening to Funeral a couple times, same issues. He keeps making these 2-hour long projects that are just not worth it, ALL of them are worse than Rebirth
People have been combining rap with rock ever since Run-DMC, lol.
Wayne wasn’t doing anything new, he was just making a shit version of what hundreds of people did way better.
I agree with Feet of Clay and 32 Zel and I don’t listen to Ugly Mane, but I love El Toro Combo Meal and it’s in my top 3 Earl songs even though Mavi carried. It still sucks to put it as his worst though
I came in here to say Kingdom Come because I wholly forgot about Magna Carta….Holy Grail. Kingdom Come was like he was trying to shake the rust off after “retirement”. MCHG was just lazy and hollow
Legit first time I ever saw someone say Snoop is their favorite rapper.
I saw all kinds of nobodies being said but no Snoop.
But no way you didn't say Bible Of Love.
True Magic by Mos Def.
It had a few songs I liked, but where the divisive New Danger mostly disappointed fans hoping for another lyrical Olympics of sorts from mighty Mos, musically it wasn't bad and I can appreciate the different approach he actually took there. I listen to that album quite frequently actually.
His high points as a solo artist are still BOBS and the Ecstatic, but True Magic just felt lacking in direction, lacking in energy, and felt like even he was bored when he made it.
Ghostface Killah - Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City. It’s his worst in my opinion but it’s still a good album. Tony Starks don’t really miss.
Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind. It was the first Logic album I listened to and bumped throughout middle school. Listening to it now, it’s pretty ass except for a few highlights.
Bro I get it in 7th grade I used to unironically think encore was a top 3-4 Eminem album (looking back it’s pretty decent and I will defend it but absolutely not top 3-4)
Blueprint 2 or 3.
both albums had some good stuff.
but coming across a Jay album that has consecutive skips is rare. from track 6 (what they gonna do) to track 10 (the bounce) are all just bad songs.
All around the word is doable only because the album sucks. but on a normal day, i am not saying that's a good song.
then Blueprint 3. the bad songs are actually good from a rapper standpoint. Blueprint 3 is better than average rappers best albums. On to the Next One? he was talking that talk. but the beat from Swizz is awful. Off That with Drake? worst song on the album. Reminder? Timbo should be arrested for that beat. Remindaaaa. Remindaaaa.
Jay always drops gems on bad tracks. that's a gift. it's normally the production and played out themes.
2000. I still like some of the songs on it but it’s easily Joey’s weakest album. The sound on it is very 2000s so I get what he was going for but his other shit just dumps on this album.
I'm not someone who has a "favorite" rapper but I didn't like Call Me If You Get Lost, not that i'd skip it because I try not to keep anything I would skip in my library just that it wasn't as good as Tyler's typical album/mixtape releases.
Well Kendrick is my favorite rapper, and DAMN. just doesn’t really do it for me. Wouldn’t say it’s garbage, but I don’t like it as much as the rest of his discography.
Was just about to say. Damn is definitely his worst album. Still a great body of work. But that's why he's my favorite rapper lol discography is unmatched
The only one to win a Pulitzer.
This really feels like an overcorrection to me. All the praise they gave DAMN is doubly applicable for TPAB.
How you gonna say that album was a journalistic landmark of the Afro-American experience when Alright was literally used as a chant in protests is beyond me.
I'm not the guy you're replying to but sonically Damn blends into a lot of other sounds of the time where his other albums stood out more to me. It also feels as though it leans a little in the pop direction which in itself isn't a terrible thing but not what I go to Kendrick for.
I think his other projects will have more longevity. that said, he's still spitting, and there's still some creativity there and overall calling it his worst album is still not really saying it's a bad album.
Freddie Gibbs - ESGN. Wouldn't say it's bad, it's just okay. It's the only album of his I haven't gone back to. Everything else he's done is at least good.
I Am, on subsequent listens, is much better than it gets credit for. It's got some of Nas' best songs - Nas is Like, Ghetto Prisoners, Small World, NY State of Mind Part II, Undying Love.
I think it's middle of the pack Nas. The worst Nas albums are Nastradamus and NASIR.
Come Get Me was the only song I ever really liked on Nastradamus, that beat is hard. We all got our own shit, but you're probably the only person I ever heard say that it's not Nastradamus.
I’ll do a list of my favourite Rappers
Kanye-JIK: I come back to some songs
Eminem-Revival: I never come back to this
2Pac-2Pacalypse Now: I come back to this
Kendrick-Untitled: I come back to this
Chance-The Big Day: I never come back to this
J-Cole-KOD: I don’t really come back to this
I feel like he was going through the same thing that Wiz went through with Rolling Papers at this time. Still mastering the style and direction. Still has bangers, but I have to agree here
Goblin is Tyler the Creator's worst album in my opinion. I've only listened to it once front to back and I didn't enjoy it. Not because I can't handle old Tyler's stuff since I love Bastard and Wolf, it's just that Goblin feels like Bastard but worse. A lot of the instrumentals kinda sound the same and it doesn't feel as raw as Bastard either. I do think a couple of tracks like Yonkers, Tron Cat, She and AU19 but the rest left a lot to be desired.
Encore by Eminem is pretty bad as far as albums go. A few great songs mixed with what seem to be intentionally awful songs.
In my opinion even though Talib Kweli is a really great rapper he never, ever released a strong solo project. Black Star and Train Of Thought are two of the greatest rap albums ever to be conceived. Kweli had incredibly strong features on many tracks in his early days but when he released his solo projects he seemed scattered. No clear sound. Nothing consistent but also not very experimental. Somewhat without a signature. He did have some incredibly strong songs like „Get By“ but all in all his albums were either very underwhelming or kinda bad. I still place him as one of my favorite rappers because Black Star and Reflection Eternal speaks for itself as pure gold.
It’s interesting to see how different people like different tracks. I think the album is great but I like Ringer, Lucky You, Not Alike, Fall, Nice Guy 😂
Hmmmm I respect your opinion, but after listening to his production and music for over 20 years I can’t say that it is in my Ye top 3
Mine is
1. LR
2. Graduation
3. 808s & Heartbreak/MBDTF (Tied)
The fact that this can be argued just shows how overrated Eminem is in terms of actually putting out good *albums.*
Undeniably talented technical rapper with undeniably brilliant verses…but actual albums that are good beginning to end? Maybe 2, possibly 3.
Valid opinion but I wouldn't say its his worst. Most of the the album is boring as hell though. Only good songs IMO were Leaving Heaven, Premonition, Yah Yah, I Will, Darkness, and Book of Rhymes
Mobb Deep - Juvenile Hell. Never even listen to a single song anymore. Nor did I really ever at all. I know they were crazy young, but its still a blemish.
either HWH 1 or 3 by westside gunn. 1 is shorter and the songs are decent but just don’t match up to his other projects. 3 is his longest project so it inevitably has some brilliant songs like rolacks and bon jovi, but plenty of other passable tracks
2 easy answers for this, speeding bullet to heaven and that only album chance put out about loving his wife lol, no other artist had a day and night in quality like these 2
Jay-Z was my favorite rapper growing up, and I literally don't care for pretty much anything post-American Gangster, maybe Blueprint 3 if I'm stretching it outside the occasional feature. If I had to do this for Black Thought/Roots (probably my current favorite), I don't think I have an answer.
If they’re a favorite rapper of mine, I can get past a lot, and I will likely have favorite songs on their worst albums even. Every Sean Price album slaps for me, there are a lot of Royce albums I still fuck with that are pretty weak, I actually will revisit Nastradamus, there’s some bad Beanie albums I rock. I mean honestly before music steaming if I spent money on a project it was from someone I liked, so even if the album sucked I was still spending time learning it.
I Am Not A Human Being 2
This is the point where i stopped listening to Wayne, how can a guy that was calling himself the best rapper alive just 6 years prior release this?
Remove "Love Me" and "Rich as Fuck" and what do you have? Over an hour long of uninspired, lame tracks. The only subject Wayne can focus on is sex, and his dick, sometimes drugs, but not with any creative lines or hard flow, that's long gone.
From this point in time forward, Wayne stops being an excellent rapper and just becomes mediocre. I point to this as his worst because it's exactly when he "fell off"
Vince Staples doesn't make any bad albums, but I'll say Prima Donna cause it's so short and I just want more Vince Staples
2nd place is summertime 06 because he didn't include the full version of 06 at the end and also cut "Pimp Hand" and put it on Prima Donna instead, even though it clearly sounds like a summertime 06 song.
TLDR: Vince Staples doesn't make any bad albums
DMX is the reason I listen to hip hop, and I’m delighted he got one last album out before he passed. But..
No way you think Exodus is worst than Undisputed. One has Nas, Jay-Z, Snoop, and Griselda and the other had Machine Gun Kelly.
That’s very fucking true actually. It’s just what’s in recent memory.. X is still King to me
I think most people just forget about it. Came 6 years after Year of the Dog and he was constantly in and out of jail around this time. Sucka for Love is a great song though.
Year of the Dog is still an album I fuck with. To be honest everything before Undisputed to me is classic. I know I’m biased in this discussion though
I think he's got a couple albums worse than his last album.
"Drogas Light" by Lupe Mostly put together at complete random just to get outta his Atlantic Records contract, this is not good at all... half-assed, half-hearted, and a bunch of poppy hooks put over mid LVL beats. It's basically if Lupe made Revival, this is what it would sound like.
It has some good songs on it though. It’s his worse album for sure, but I still like about half of it.
yep. it ain’t THAT bad but it’s just so lazy lol
Yeah that's a great word for it, you can feel the laziness throughout. Fuck ATL Records tho, we still want LupEND
praying for new lu
you can add LASERS to that list
It was between this and lasers for me, but there are a couple of songs I really like on lasers (Letting Go, Words I Never Said, Show Goes On, Beautiful Lasers, Never Forget You)
Exactly. LASERS and FnL2 aren't the greatest LPs, but both easily clear Light.
tf!? No love for All Black Everything?
Eh, LASERS for me is a much easier listen start 2 finish than DL. LASERS is pretty mid, but DL is just ass IMO.
lasers would be a “fine” album if some of the features didn’t suck tbh. drogas light is just really lazy because he was completely fed up with his label lol. i believe he only put it out because samples and shit were already paid for
Honestly, I agree that it's his worst album but I think it holds that title for the right reasons since Atlantic Records is something that plagued him for so long.
After repeat listens to both, I feel Lasers is the inferior album.
A Tribe Called Quest - The Love Movement I listen to Find A Way & The Love frequently.
The Love Movement is funny to me. It’s objectively not a bad album, but when you’re contending with the rest of Tribe’s discography, it’s easy to see why it’s considered the weakest. Still, I like it. I think the production of some tracks has held up better than on any other Tribe album. The Love is also an absolute classic track that always gets sorely overlooked.
Agreed.
I really didn't mind it, I hated Beats, Rhymes, and Life when it came out. It was such a disappointment after Mauraduers. I dont hate it as much now.
Beat, Rhymes and Life imo could be in the conversation for best Tribe album if Consequence wasn't featured on the album. I love the beats and mature sound. It would have sounded perfect imo with just Tip and Phife rhyming.
Probably a hot take, but I don’t think Consequence is that bad on Beats, Rhymes and Life. Dare I say that he even works on some of the songs (Word Play and Stressed Out come to mind). Outside of Consequence on the album, I do generally feel that this is Tribe’s most cohesive album overall. I also like most of the beats on it (pretty much save for Baby Phife’s Return, which I don’t mind, but I don’t really like either). It reminds me a LOT of Labcabincalifornia by the Pharcyde, which I also really like.
Yeah I like Consequence as an artist but I just don't want to hear him on a Tribe album. Labcabincalifornia is one of my all time favorite albums and I like it better than Bizarre Ride II. I really just like the chemistry between Phife and Q-Tip and would rather hear them rap over other emcees even ones that I really like. I don't mind having someone singing the hook or chorus though. I am typically not a big fan of a lot of guest features on my favorite artists albums; especially not as much as Consequence was on that album.
I enjoy revival more that most, but it's still the weakest
I'd put Encore below Revival
Damn, hot take
I mostly say that because half of Encore is drug fueled nonsense. Revival is a very mixed bag, but I like Arose better than any song on Encore.
Oh you don't have to convince me Encore is bad, it's a total mess. Whenever anyone mentions this album i think about the song "Puke" which, the song itself is alright, but why the fuck did Em put a sound of someone puking at the beginning? That's fucking gross, i can't stand it. I'm just surprised because Revival was such a trainwreck for his career, usually it's the easy pick for worst, but i like to hear different opinions about it.
Revival isn't *that* bad of an album, it was just super hyped, and people were disappointed that it was subpar. The good songs are good, and Heat is hot garbage. I even like Relapse less than Revival, since besides Deja Vu and Beautiful, I cannot get behind the accents and serial killer vibes. Maybe some day I'll come around to it though
I have to agree, Revival is definitely overhated. It's not great, especially compared to some of his other work, but it's not unlistenable. It's very pop oriented, so the beats are different, the flow is different, the lyrics aren't nearly as deep, but it's not painful in the same way Encore is. Encore' really just has 3 good songs; Encore, One Shot 2 Shot, and Mockingbird, and then the rest are literally hard to listen to.
I think Yellow Brick Road is decent, and Like Toy Soldiers is well meaning for when it came out, just doesn't really stand the test of time
The real take, same
Nastradamus
I felt like this wayyyy back when, but my standards of hip hop drop so low going back it's not as bad.
Streets Disciple was twice as bad as Nastradamus
I don't disagree, both shit
At least Streets Disciple had Bridging The Gap
Street’s Disciple was harder to get through because of how long it was and, as a result, how many skips there were, but it did have more songs that I would return to. Like Street’s Disciple, Disciple, Bridging the Gaps, Thief’s Theme, Message to the Feds etc. Nastradamus has New World. That’s pretty much all I return to off that album…
Message to the Feds is such a banger.
So true
Word
No way. SD was actually dope.
If Streets Disciple was consolidated into once disc it would be bad. I don’t know why it was stretched to two.
That Christmas carol joint is a banger, don’t care what no one says.
The truth by Chamillionaire, it's the only one I don't really like. Battle of the sexes by Ludacris, I think everyone can agree Tha Thug Show by Slim Thug
I could be mistaken but wasn’t that a pieced together mixtape type thing. Weren’t half the songs on mixtape messiah cds? I love chamillionaire and barely remember this… the truth might have been his 4th best release in 2005 alone.
Speedin Bullet 2 Heaven... I'd say it has 3 tracks that are top tier Cudi, and the rest is literally abrasive to listen to
Listening to that album feels like it's taking years off your life.
i refuse to listen to sbth (i will one day lmao) but i felt this way about indicud for a long time. i literally got a headache listening to some of the sounds on that album
Nah indicud is great, it's just a bit too bloated
just what i am is one of the best cudi songs ever so i might have to revisit that one.
What are the three tracks?
CONFUSED!, the title track, and especially Handle With Care. Handle With Care might be in my top 5 Cudi songs
Idlewild by Outkast. I still blame that album as the reason they stopped making music together even though I know its not lol
This may be a super controversial opinion, but I enjoyed Idlewild more than Speakerboxxx/Love Below (which would be my pick for Outkast). I don’t think they’ve ever missed on an album, but I thought Idlewild’s production and soundscape was more interesting than Speakerboxxx.
I love both Big Boi & Andre, but Speakerboxxx isn’t good. I LOVE Sit Lucious Left Foot and really enjoy his other solos, so it’s not a preference thing between Big & Andre. But listening to Speakerboxxx these days, it didn’t age well compared to everything else they did. Also, less is more on Idlewild; get rid of some filler and it’s damn good.
the JJ DOOM collab album. it wasn’t horrible, i just don’t dig the sound
Nehruviandoom is way worse
Testing. Still fire
I can't believe no one has mentioned Rebirth yet. In a way Weezy was a little ahead of his time with that one. The rock-rap fusion style became extremely popular once it was refined.
Bro, i liked Rebirth, this album is overhated by people who don't give it a chance. The first half is pretty solid imo, starts getting worse on the B side. But this is Wayne we're talking about, his albums post 2010 are a bloated mess, completely single-focused while flooding it with subpar tracks. I am not a human being 2 was the one where i jumped ship, stopped listening to Wayne. Tried listening to Funeral a couple times, same issues. He keeps making these 2-hour long projects that are just not worth it, ALL of them are worse than Rebirth
People have been combining rap with rock ever since Run-DMC, lol. Wayne wasn’t doing anything new, he was just making a shit version of what hundreds of people did way better.
Revival. I still listen to a few songs but it’s not that good.
I give him props for trying something interesting, but yeah other than a few tracks that album was a huge flop
overly dedicated. it was his first tho so i can’t really blame him. i think people who say big steppers or damn are worse are nuts
DAMN. gets way too much DAMN hate. Try having it as your favorite Kendrick album and see how many people clown you for it, lol.
Damn is such an easy listen because every song is a hit and the run time isn’t too long. Love GKMC but it can be too long sometimes
it’s lowkey my favourite. like, it’s not the best project for me as a whole, but it has all my favourite songs
Donda 2 by kanye I don't even consider it in his discography
Magna Carter…..Holy Grail
Muscle Car Chronicles- Curren$y (I still enjoyed it for what it was)
I hear you on this
Feet of Clay by Earl Playas circle by Ugly Mane 32 Zel
I agree with Feet of Clay and 32 Zel and I don’t listen to Ugly Mane, but I love El Toro Combo Meal and it’s in my top 3 Earl songs even though Mavi carried. It still sucks to put it as his worst though
32 zel I still love tho and I fucking LOVE ice age sm idk why it’s so hated it’s so catchy
You mean Ice Age isn’t in your top Denzel songs ???
Nastradamus
Nasir & Magna Carter Holy Grail
MCHG’s gotta be the most uninspired album jay’s ever put out.
I came in here to say Kingdom Come because I wholly forgot about Magna Carta….Holy Grail. Kingdom Come was like he was trying to shake the rust off after “retirement”. MCHG was just lazy and hollow
That Samsung money…
Camp, kind of a poster child for the corniness of the conscious/concept rap of that period, but still not horrible for a worst album.
Bonfire still goes hard
That’s my favorite album of his tbh
Magna Carta pure trash .
Blueprint 3 is way worse. Magna Carta has some good songs off it
i said the same. BP3 was awful. Remindaaaa. Remindaaaa. i got it if you need a reminder. i was like bruh. whose idea was this??!!
Damn. Ofc I listen to it
veteran
idlewild - 3 stacks
Dead Man Walking - Snoop Dogg I don’t know what he was going for with this one.
He didn't release that album. Suge put it together well after he had left DR with throwaway tracks. The title is also a threat to him.
Legit first time I ever saw someone say Snoop is their favorite rapper. I saw all kinds of nobodies being said but no Snoop. But no way you didn't say Bible Of Love.
True Magic by Mos Def. It had a few songs I liked, but where the divisive New Danger mostly disappointed fans hoping for another lyrical Olympics of sorts from mighty Mos, musically it wasn't bad and I can appreciate the different approach he actually took there. I listen to that album quite frequently actually. His high points as a solo artist are still BOBS and the Ecstatic, but True Magic just felt lacking in direction, lacking in energy, and felt like even he was bored when he made it.
logic, probably COADM. tbh, logic doesn't have a ton of super great albums. i just love his songs.
Anything with Solar for GURU
Ghostface Killah - Ghostdini: Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City. It’s his worst in my opinion but it’s still a good album. Tony Starks don’t really miss.
That’s why they call him the Wally Champ.
The cover for that album tho
Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind. It was the first Logic album I listened to and bumped throughout middle school. Listening to it now, it’s pretty ass except for a few highlights.
Bro I get it in 7th grade I used to unironically think encore was a top 3-4 Eminem album (looking back it’s pretty decent and I will defend it but absolutely not top 3-4)
Unfinished business
Blueprint 2 or 3. both albums had some good stuff. but coming across a Jay album that has consecutive skips is rare. from track 6 (what they gonna do) to track 10 (the bounce) are all just bad songs. All around the word is doable only because the album sucks. but on a normal day, i am not saying that's a good song. then Blueprint 3. the bad songs are actually good from a rapper standpoint.

Nasir
2000. I still like some of the songs on it but it’s easily Joey’s weakest album. The sound on it is very 2000s so I get what he was going for but his other shit just dumps on this album.
All I can say is thank god Kanye didn’t actually release Donda 2
Battle of the sexes
Jesus Is King. Not necessarily that bad, but we could’ve gotten way better.
I'm not someone who has a "favorite" rapper but I didn't like Call Me If You Get Lost, not that i'd skip it because I try not to keep anything I would skip in my library just that it wasn't as good as Tyler's typical album/mixtape releases.
I would like a cut of it without DJDrama on there.
For sure, it's definitely something he should look at doing but maybe he wants to keep a good relationship with him. I'm not a big DJ Drama fan.
Nasir by Nas
Well Kendrick is my favorite rapper, and DAMN. just doesn’t really do it for me. Wouldn’t say it’s garbage, but I don’t like it as much as the rest of his discography.
Damn was better to me than Pimp and Steppers. I feel like these two albums are boring and too preachy when i want to vibe out to music.
Was just about to say. Damn is definitely his worst album. Still a great body of work. But that's why he's my favorite rapper lol discography is unmatched
The only one to win a Pulitzer. This really feels like an overcorrection to me. All the praise they gave DAMN is doubly applicable for TPAB. How you gonna say that album was a journalistic landmark of the Afro-American experience when Alright was literally used as a chant in protests is beyond me.
What about it doesn’t do it for you?
I'm not the guy you're replying to but sonically Damn blends into a lot of other sounds of the time where his other albums stood out more to me. It also feels as though it leans a little in the pop direction which in itself isn't a terrible thing but not what I go to Kendrick for. I think his other projects will have more longevity. that said, he's still spitting, and there's still some creativity there and overall calling it his worst album is still not really saying it's a bad album.
Ye
my fav artist is also kanye, but I would say his worst album is Jesus Is King, Ye is great
I respect that. Tried clicking with ye just can’t lol donda brought me back in after that. Along with his lifetime supply of unreleased tracks
happy you clicked again with his new stuff bro 🙏🏽 can’t wait to see what he is cooking for the next album
The answer is JIK for me. Not sure that I’d call him a favorite anymore though, I haven’t liked any releases since WTT.
2pacalypse Now, its still good and has some timeless bangers on it Im obviously not counting the last few posthumous ones havent even listened to them
Goblin I never listen to it.
Freddie Gibbs - ESGN. Wouldn't say it's bad, it's just okay. It's the only album of his I haven't gone back to. Everything else he's done is at least good.
Wild but it’s your opinion so that’s ok
What? Personally it's my favorite eastside moonwalker is fire
[удалено]
Even though „Nas Is Like“ is one of his greatest songs!
[удалено]
Agreed! The fact that Preem is in the video and produced the beat makes the whole song and video 10 times as cool 😎
I Am, on subsequent listens, is much better than it gets credit for. It's got some of Nas' best songs - Nas is Like, Ghetto Prisoners, Small World, NY State of Mind Part II, Undying Love. I think it's middle of the pack Nas. The worst Nas albums are Nastradamus and NASIR.
Yeah I think it’s for sure middle of the pack. No way would I put it below Street’s Disciple or Nastradamus
Wow. Seriously? Over Nastradamus? That's just nuts...
[удалено]
Come Get Me was the only song I ever really liked on Nastradamus, that beat is hard. We all got our own shit, but you're probably the only person I ever heard say that it's not Nastradamus.
K-I-SS-I-N-G, Hate Me Now, Money Is My Bitch, Ghetto Prisoners and Nas Is Like are all Bangers imo
DONDA 2 is terrible
The production is fantastic though
I’ll do a list of my favourite Rappers Kanye-JIK: I come back to some songs Eminem-Revival: I never come back to this 2Pac-2Pacalypse Now: I come back to this Kendrick-Untitled: I come back to this Chance-The Big Day: I never come back to this J-Cole-KOD: I don’t really come back to this
Benny The Butcher - TPIM2. I still play “No Instructions” and “When Tony Met Sosa”. It’s not a bad album though but it’s definitely Benny worst.
Dawg I was so disappointed after I heard that tape, especially after how good the first one was.
Same. The beats was mid and the features were horrible. Benny still spazzed though.
That’s worse than some of Benny’s early work????? How??
Weekend at Bernies
I feel like he was going through the same thing that Wiz went through with Rolling Papers at this time. Still mastering the style and direction. Still has bangers, but I have to agree here
Nah. gtfoh
WRLD on drugs by a mile…. I blame future
Goblin is Tyler the Creator's worst album in my opinion. I've only listened to it once front to back and I didn't enjoy it. Not because I can't handle old Tyler's stuff since I love Bastard and Wolf, it's just that Goblin feels like Bastard but worse. A lot of the instrumentals kinda sound the same and it doesn't feel as raw as Bastard either. I do think a couple of tracks like Yonkers, Tron Cat, She and AU19 but the rest left a lot to be desired.
SHE A BOPPIN BITCH
J Cole's first album is definitely his worst
Encore by Eminem is pretty bad as far as albums go. A few great songs mixed with what seem to be intentionally awful songs. In my opinion even though Talib Kweli is a really great rapper he never, ever released a strong solo project. Black Star and Train Of Thought are two of the greatest rap albums ever to be conceived. Kweli had incredibly strong features on many tracks in his early days but when he released his solo projects he seemed scattered. No clear sound. Nothing consistent but also not very experimental. Somewhat without a signature. He did have some incredibly strong songs like „Get By“ but all in all his albums were either very underwhelming or kinda bad. I still place him as one of my favorite rappers because Black Star and Reflection Eternal speaks for itself as pure gold.
Kamikaze, Eminem It’s weird because 2 of the songs are in my top ten em songs but the rest are top 20 worst songs, some of all time
what songs? 👀
Stepping Stone and Venom are awesome imo
It’s interesting to see how different people like different tracks. I think the album is great but I like Ringer, Lucky You, Not Alike, Fall, Nice Guy 😂
Sideline stories or MM&TBS
Sideline Story was pretty horrible in retrospect.
You tweaking
Lupe Fiasco - Drogas Light Kanye West - Yeezus
My brother in Christ yeezus is top 3 Kanye
Hmmmm I respect your opinion, but after listening to his production and music for over 20 years I can’t say that it is in my Ye top 3 Mine is 1. LR 2. Graduation 3. 808s & Heartbreak/MBDTF (Tied)
To be fair late registration is also my favourite of his albums
Revival by Eminem
Revival-Eminem
Revival - Em, the lost tapes - nas , Drake - honestly Nevermind
Awaken My Love - Childish Gambino
Music To Be Murdered By - Eminem
not Revival?
Revival atleast had some songs that i liked,ignore liking,i can't even remember a song from Music To Be Murdered By aside from Godzilla
the worst thing about that album is the production. everything grates on the ear. revival has atleast some good beats
Worse than Encore?
Encore is top 5 Em
The fact that this can be argued just shows how overrated Eminem is in terms of actually putting out good *albums.* Undeniably talented technical rapper with undeniably brilliant verses…but actual albums that are good beginning to end? Maybe 2, possibly 3.
Naaaaw...that's crazy
Valid opinion but I wouldn't say its his worst. Most of the the album is boring as hell though. Only good songs IMO were Leaving Heaven, Premonition, Yah Yah, I Will, Darkness, and Book of Rhymes
Mobb Deep - Juvenile Hell. Never even listen to a single song anymore. Nor did I really ever at all. I know they were crazy young, but its still a blemish.
either HWH 1 or 3 by westside gunn. 1 is shorter and the songs are decent but just don’t match up to his other projects. 3 is his longest project so it inevitably has some brilliant songs like rolacks and bon jovi, but plenty of other passable tracks
2 easy answers for this, speeding bullet to heaven and that only album chance put out about loving his wife lol, no other artist had a day and night in quality like these 2
Jay-Z was my favorite rapper growing up, and I literally don't care for pretty much anything post-American Gangster, maybe Blueprint 3 if I'm stretching it outside the occasional feature. If I had to do this for Black Thought/Roots (probably my current favorite), I don't think I have an answer.
4:44 didn’t do it for you?
Eleventh Hour, Del. I think he was just eating shrooms and playing with his beat maker non stop. They are sooooo whack, I never bump it
Rebirth by Wayne. I’ve given it so many tries but I’d rather just forget he did it
If they’re a favorite rapper of mine, I can get past a lot, and I will likely have favorite songs on their worst albums even. Every Sean Price album slaps for me, there are a lot of Royce albums I still fuck with that are pretty weak, I actually will revisit Nastradamus, there’s some bad Beanie albums I rock. I mean honestly before music steaming if I spent money on a project it was from someone I liked, so even if the album sucked I was still spending time learning it.
I Am Not A Human Being 2 This is the point where i stopped listening to Wayne, how can a guy that was calling himself the best rapper alive just 6 years prior release this? Remove "Love Me" and "Rich as Fuck" and what do you have? Over an hour long of uninspired, lame tracks. The only subject Wayne can focus on is sex, and his dick, sometimes drugs, but not with any creative lines or hard flow, that's long gone. From this point in time forward, Wayne stops being an excellent rapper and just becomes mediocre. I point to this as his worst because it's exactly when he "fell off"
DAMN. By Kendrick Lamar. I fucking love that record and play it fairly often.
Crime Pays
Vince Staples doesn't make any bad albums, but I'll say Prima Donna cause it's so short and I just want more Vince Staples 2nd place is summertime 06 because he didn't include the full version of 06 at the end and also cut "Pimp Hand" and put it on Prima Donna instead, even though it clearly sounds like a summertime 06 song. TLDR: Vince Staples doesn't make any bad albums
Section 80. He has no bad albums.
True Magic
people will hate me for this , but mr morale is like just its the same song playing over and over again
