Why do self-proclaimed "hip hop heads" constantly discuss the same fifty albums over and over and over? Is it because their genre of choice has produced such little music of quality that even they recognize there's not many options? You can only rearrange this trash so many times.

Speaking of short films, I feel like this is a new way for artists to promote albums, and I feel like it'll be something a lot of artists will soon follow with.

Beyonce had a film for her latest album. ScHoolboy Q had a couple of shirt films for his. Kanye kind of did with Famous. He already had a short film for MBDTF as well.

Get over yourself. This album is a modern classic regardless of whether you hate it or not.

Doesn't matter, breadth of taste is good to see

No, I love MBDTF. But it comes up on every hip hop discussion here and I get a bit sick of it

I heard Rodeo was supposed to have a film too (Would have been amazing to see 90210 translated to film)

maybe love is a little too much to say about True Magic but I thought it was at least listenable and had a few stand out tracks. never got the dislike for the new danger, it's more charismatic then most rap albums i've heard and I think it sounds great. I hope he comes back sometime soon though but I know that's unlikely.

>>66484316
But how could you have a discussion on how elevating this album is

You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having is Slug at his best. Sunshine is a worse version of God's Bathroom Floor (Overcast, but still)
