    I like Dark Comedy, and admittedly discussion of it kinda fell through the cracks...but at the same time, I'm not sure it's really a glaring omission on an essentials list.

    Out of curiosity, what kind of list did USA Today have it on/what was its position? Top ten of the decade or year? @WPG

    why are you being defensive? ive said ive been meaning to listen to it for months now, i know its a "failure" of mine -- but no one was every denying that.

    we're not gonna list an album none of us know enough of about just for credibility or something. and the intro says as much, that we could've missed some others my find essential, but that shouldnt take away from the ones that are mentioned.

    but im sure you know better dew.

    and for the record, Dessa was 15 on the list at first, and I already wrote about it. but not enough of the staff had heard it so it was nixed.
    they made me take it out of the top 10 =(

    lol cept I've liked this album since before a majority of these reviews have even came out, I've written reviews of album, defended it against WPG and others, I know multiple people that realize how incredible it is, etc etc

    You're the one with a weak leg to stand on here, but good luck trying to paint yourself as ahead of the curve somehow :khaled2:

    No waaay, but I like monster a lot

    Every track on beastmode is one another leve for me

    Real sisters, forever eva, lay up, peacot, oooooh, bruddahs etc

    Pretty much every track cause it's so short.

    But I get if you have more favorites on monster :idk:

    man I love beastmode. Favorite release this year so far I think

    :snoop:


    That wasnt the point at all, you're being dumb. I was responding to you acting like the album being on this list was "critics brainwashing" people

    You could try to post your own explanations as to what should or shouldn't be on the list rather than act like a condescending prick :weebey:
