Hey You missed me? It's the let's rank series back on track choo choo!
Alright, the point of these threads is to create a forum-regular based list of determined artist, based on albums and songs. And also we can check out how much it's different from the overall!
Well, for each artist, the user will be given the avaiable records and rank them in order of preference, he/she/they/us can also rank their song in order too (On a maximum of 5 songs). post your results here and I will be coming back to drop the long awaited results here
The Deadline is set on january 26th so we have time to catch up and live our own magical lives at the same time!
Kendrick has been an interesting artist in this decade, and certainly the man that got me in touch with the rap world, his records cause a massive overload whenever they are released and even after (NATION Hoax for example). He always lives up to the hype, no matter how big it is, or even if it is inexsistent.
Hip Hop found its ideal synthesis of pot, laziness, ebonics and Dante's Inferno with DAMN, an album-long buzz-killing disappointment that should've been evident by its post-production title statement, but that the public and critics at large, also too high on pot to notice, and in their own self-perpetuated musical hell of false idols and qualitative purgatory, shamefully anointed to a masterpiece anyway. In a fit of anxiety, Pitchfork made some amends for this with their surprisingly decent "Best Albums of the 60's" list, correcting some of this imbalance by noticing several less-heralded, ground-breaking black artists and their masterpieces, thus finally earning some Scaruffi street cred and saving themselves, for now, from the wrong side of universal judgment. Perhaps this was Lamar's intent all along, in which case, DAMN may have saved all of us and is obviously the most profound and important album of the last several decades. _________________ Best Classical Best Films Best Paintings
To Pimp a Butterfly - one of the top 5 hip-hop albums of all time
Good kid, MAAD City - one of the top 5 of the decade
DAMN - Good hip-hop record
I like DAMN, but I do think it's a bit of an indictment on 2017 that it's the widely-recognised best of the year. Last year had at least a half-dozen better albums that I heard (I don't really keep up with contemporary music these days).
I'm torn between Kendrick or Odd Future as the artist/act of the decade... strangely, I think it was Tyler's output last year that put OF over the top. Can't wait for Earl's upcoming.
But, yeah, as far as individual rappers go, Kendrick's easily put himself in the top 5 of all time. It's exciting.
Anyway, rankings:
1. To Pimp A Butterfly (100)
2. Good Kid, m.a.a.d. City (100)
3. Section.80 (90)
4. Untitled, Unmastered (85)
5. DAMN. (80)
Songs
1. The Blacker The Berry
2. Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst
3. How Much a Dollar Cost
4. Swimming Pools (Drank)
5. Keisha's Song (Her Pain)
But I could add about 15 more without worry. _________________ Doubles & Conch
