    ..and that's YOUR opinion.. Can I ask you something though?.. What makes these artists good to you?.. because you went from liking artists like Blu, Fashawn, etc etc.. to Young thug, and Future? Please help me understand if you can.

    what do you mean "went from"? i love blu. i love young thug. they're both brilliant artists. the latter is probably the best rapper breathing at the moment.

    Because they're both good for different contexts? I'm glad my life isn't so overly self-serious that I can't enjoy something fun like Rich g--- or future. Blu is one of my favorite rappers, but who plays Blu at a party? Lol

    What Young Thug is doing is weird, but so is what ODB did. You're being horribly close-minded and any time someone calls you out on not listening to a project that you're dissing you say "I like good music." It might not be your cup of tea, but you're demonstrating that you haven't given the project enough thought to truly understand it.

    On another note, Take Care > GKMC for me personally.

    I'm not closed minded at all... thing is.. I prefer Riff Raff, over Thug and Future's music..that's just my personal view on those certain artists. I'm not knocking any one's likes or dislikes..I'm just trying to understand the appeal of Future and Thug.

    I think that i can understand why they play Young Thug or Rich g--- in a party and how you need to hear the guys at another context, but i don't think is enough to put it in a list of the most essential rap albums of the DECADE.

    I should have worded that differently..I respect your opinion, I always have..but I just don't understand the appeal of those artists. I've been called "Closed Minded" on the subject, when in reality I'm not. If that's the case, there's people being closed minded on artists like Riff Raff, Yelawolf, etc..who's music I enjoy...it's all about opinion at the end of the day.

    That's other thing, why we don't better change the title to "The 25 most essential rap albums of the last 5 years"?

    Don't be confused, young argentinian. Although any period of 10 years is a decade, a convenient and frequently referenced interval is based on the tens digit of a calendar year, as in using "1960s" to represent the decade from 1960 to 1969 :)

    i too love blu and think thug is one of the best rappers alive, without a doubt in my mind.

    but @WPG 's still absolutely wrong about TPAB :lolbron::westbrook3::wayne:

    Fair enough. The way you posed it just made you come across differently.

    Your argument is paper thin BECAUSE it's a most "essential" list -- i.e. people who've had influence in the genre as well as critical acclaim. Rich g--- tha tour pt 1 had both, in spades.

    not to mention the artists themselves, individually, are without a doubt some of the most influential in the game.

    future and young thug are young gods m8
