Can you rank Kendrick Lamar songs
It's not because an album has a concept or a great idea behind it that it can't be bad... execution is more important, form>content

@@WaddupYTthat’s his point. great concepts add to the listening experience, however concept alone is not enough to be good. if so, anything by NF, Kid Cudi’s Speeding Bullet album, etc would be considered good. concept and ideas alone aren’t enough. the songs also need to be good.

I've been going about this for the longest time. Garbage conscious records which slightly touch on any societal problems are regarded higher than 90% of great modern trap and pop rap. It should be a 10/90 split with the idea being the 10% and execution the majority. Nihilistic and sad music in general will always be elevated and kept to a higher level of respect than that of happier and more vibe music despite in general both being of the same quality. Someone like Drake gets so much shit just because he doesn't make anything depressing.. as if there already weren't enough artists for that before and after him.

A lyrically dense summertime banger with a 9/10 beat and SZA sang hook about life being good will be frowned upon by hipsters but an awful and uninspired Earl sweatshirt song with his boring ass voice, adequate production and unimaginative lyrics with a hint of suicidal thoughts sprinkled in will be all their song of the year and the one they defend to the grave
Sometimes Ant doesn’t seem to grasp that an album can have a couple good songs, even GREAT songs and still be a bad album as a whole

i love drip or drown 2
Nice series
It’s crazy how some of the best and most notable Rappers of all time happen to have at least one bad project in their discography.
Somehow NFR is the only one dropping right as I'm about to have dinner, what legends.

I was looking for this comment right when Ant said that
I love Tha Fix before Tha VI a lot of the lyrics make me laugh but it’s got such hard hitting trap beats that may sound aged but idk I enjoy it
really stinky take on drip or drown 2, top 3 gunna album
i’ll always love LASERS man. idk what it is about it but it’s just a satisfying listen every time for some reason.
That thumbnail is crazy.
Another banger
I like this a lot
Said slater is on goblin but it’s on wolf
Drip or drown 2 might be Gunnas best fr fr
Ant the type of guy that gets confused when he doesn't get allowed into college after getting a 4/10 on his entrance exam saying "That's no where near a bad score."
Loved the Nastradamus flowers. VERY underrated songs on that album
Meek mill Dreams brought back some hard nostalgia! Lord knows with Tory was fire back in the day
Who you foolin is amazing gotta give it to Ant
Dreams worth more than money is a classic.
12:34 took me back to elementary school
Lu's voice crack had me dyin
Just bc there’s a concept it doesn’t default an album good
Luca with the coldest take ever smh … 14:14
I bump She all the time. I know girl friends of mine that do too.

Luca is on something cuz Drip or drown 2 is fire probably his best album it’s skipless and doesn’t get boring because of a variety of atmospheres production wise Ant I’m so sorry for you
Drip or drown 2 is fucking crazy, the second best Gunna album apart from DS3. Just listen to the trapaneese classic Who You Foolin. Almost all songs go crazy bruh.
Drip or down 2 is fire
Ant, slater is on wolf🤓☝️
This series is fucking awesome. Drip or drown 2 nowhere near a bad album it has plenty bangers. Everything else y’all got right.
Bro said lasers is a bad album !?!? That was one of my favorite albums growing up man, might be mainstream but it was still conscience and meaningful lyrically
nah bruh I listed to "slaughter king" front to back ONE TIME and I heard a smoke alarm that needs batteries at least 3 times per song, I understand the whole "starter studio in the closet" vibe cause that's where I am but PLEASE EQ OR CHANGE YOUR DAMN BATTERIES. I literally cannot listen to any song off that album anymore
Finally some fair criticism about Kingdom Come
Let’s goooo!!!!
I actually think Lasers isn’t a miss for Lupe It’s an interesting listen, I think that drogas light and food and liquor 2 are worse honestly
Luv is rage 3 saves EA from mid to good imo
Drip or drown 2 lowkey a masterpiece
What about savage season tho????
The fact you guys don’t put fabokous or other rappers in top 50 is insane
I don’t listen to gunna much but a gift and a curse is fire that’s a good album, that mf been in my rotation since it came out😂
jay z is one of those rappers where even his more mediocre albums have at least a few songs on them that are INSANE.

I've always liked kingdom come. bp 3 is worse but not even bad. Kingdom come, oh my god, show me what you got. these are some real ass bangers. Never understood the disrespect on its name. Its worse than AG and The Black Album sure but both of those are arguable HOV top 5 black album being his #2 to me. I went through nastradamus as well and honestly like Come and get me, project window and Family with Mobb Deep are all great. these albums arent bad.
This series would have been great with fantano
They left out the great American rap album good & liquor 2 and I honestly think I’m the only Lupe fan that listens to Lasers. I even have it tattooed on my hand just because what that album did for me in my life at a low point. Do I understand the hate for that album? Absolutely but as a person that always enjoyed that rapper grab a pop artist for the hook era. This album meant something to me.

I havent listened to all of Lasers so I cant comment on it as a whole album but it seems weird to me that NFR didnt mention The Show Goes On, which is a fantastic song and was THE huge hit off that record.
I’ve always thought that you guys were waaaay too lenient, so this episode was so frustrating for me lol. Love the content, but I disagree with so many of these conclusions
Cold day in hell and Shadow of a Doubt are great albums
Get my man Lu another shirt, he only ever wears this one istg 😭
Goated
travis scott doesnt have a single album less then an 7 or 8
Slater is on wolf
While Lasers is Lupe's weakest album I can't believe it's rated bad over some of these other albums, it has aged badly and didn't sound great on release but there's still songs where he's simply rapping too well for me to walk away from it saying it's a bad album. I'd certainly rather listen to Lasers vs. some of the other albums that were in contention but not called "bad" on this list.
Louis trippin about drip or drown 2 that’s insane
i think pink tape is very good i would say 19-20 songs on there i like alot
Lu has to be trolling with that gunna take
The hate for it’s only me is crazy
Calling Goblin mid is so bizzare
Funeral isn’t a bad album but it’s definitely not his best
Lou saying he doesn’t enjoy who you foolin is one of the worst takes I’ve ever heard that instrumental is heavenly it’s an amazing car song and def top 5 gunna songs
"Its a good album!"😂😂😂😂

Y’all didn’t even put all of Wayne’s albums , block is hot, and if 21 savage has his mixtape, why not include Wayne’s also, and rebirth probably Wayne’s most influential album, all these rappers wanna be rockstars now 💯
Was talking about how legendary Wayne is despite having huge misses like Rebirth, IANAHB2, that new fix album, Trust Fund Babies
lasers was not lupe's decision lol
ah yes, my favorite song off of goblin, slater
Drip or drown 2 is one of gunnas best
DOD2 is probably Gunnas best album. Only a non gunna fan wouldn’t understand.
drip or drown 2 is fucking GAS i play so many off that record
I agree with the Fix Before the Six being bad, but not happily. It hurts to say it since it’s Weezy.
Lasers is overhated. There’s bad songs on there but theres a few good ones too
I love Tyler the Creator's song Tron Cat. I promise I'm not a psychopath.
L take by Lu. Drip or Drown 2 is a good album. Not on the level of Wunna... but it is a good album
Drip or Drown 2 is Lu’s worst take all time
