*This is not 1 of those childish diss threads, its just opinion that heavily leans toward bein facts*
Name another rapper who was deemed 'top 5 or 10 of the moment' who dropped at least 3 albums and NOT 1 is deemed historically relevant, classic, or atleast borderline classic
Most do:
Jay-RD
NAS-Illmatic
Big-Ready to Die
Kendrick-GKMC
Lupe-F&L
Ghostface-take your pic
Rae-OB4CL
Kanye-Dropout & LR
50-GRODT
The Game even lol-Documentary
D.o.c.-No One Does it Better
Ti-Trap Muzik
I mean ? lol Usually rappers cone out swinging. Before the fame is when you hungriest and drop your rawest, best material. J Cole has three FORGETTABLE albums
He's nice! Cool lil rapper. But im tired of bein humble, ya boy aint it man. Yall forcing it due to a dearth of quality rappers
Please someone tell me where im wrong at ANY level

not that i disagree with your cole sentiment but
raekwon a top 10 rapper at any time?
only ? who have been under a rock or are just plain stupid/insanely jaded think there's a lack of nice rappers, and despite the music side of things, cole is one of em. -
So Far Gone by Drake and Friday Night Lights by J Cole are classic bodies of work, but I agree they don't have classic albums
-
Grodt is overrated. But the impact was good for rap
Ob4cl overrated
documentary trash
Doc album is meh at best
Ghost album was solid
Gkmc is a good album but forest hills drive is much much better. It's far from forgettable. Dude sold mad albums with no push and no features and selling out shows everywhere.
Blueprint > RD
You here ppl blasting much more then RD -

Around the early to mid 90s you could have made a case for Rae being top 10. I agree with your second comment 100% tho. There's an abundance of up and coming talent. -
FHD is still less than a year old, so time will tell. Question is how many peoplr on a J.Cole run? Who you replace him with? Even the biggest KRIT or Wale fan can't make that argument. Dude producing and writing his own ? without doing a features and carried it to his BEST work of his career. Who else doing this?
-
T/S raises an interesting point.
I'm not really up on things like I used to be. I've been hearing a lot about J Cole but to be honest, I haven't heard any of his albums in their entirety. What's his best album? I'm willing to order one of his albums from Amazon if ya'll say its any good. -

The Warm up is Coles best body of work. -
I don't know about all that but I ? with Cole and I like his albums/music. I could careless about whether he has any classics or not.

I respectfully disagree and would say Friday Night Lights is, although I still haven't listened to FHD. -
the no features thing is kinda overrated too, props to him and his fanbase for him being able to drop outta nowhere and go plat tho.

I bought So Far Gone on the strength of some recommendations on the IC. Just as I was starting to get into it and start to nod my head he'd start singing. If that's this generations idea of "classic" then Nas was right, Hip Hop is dead. -
Food and Liquor is a classic?

How did I get a flag? I made a thread about a year ago asking what was Drake's best album. People said I should get So Far Gone so I ordered it from Amazon. I was thoroughly disappointed.
I'll even look for the thread. -
Last classic albums i heard were
5. like father like son,
4.lil boosie incarcerrated
3. yo gotti i am
2. thug motivation 101
1. g unit beg for mercy
Other then those aint no classic albums made in the 2000's well maybe Carter 2 can be thrown in there but thats where the buck stops at -

ah, ? wrong every day b. i think his success is great.
i wanna like his music a lot, i just cant get into it. and i like j. cole's collabs(except planes) so i dont really see the huge deal about no features. maybe cuz it was unexpected? -

Damn. On some real ? scratch Drake off the list, So Far Gone meets the criteria imo. It changed the game , huge impact
FNL? hell no. Not lookin good for ya boy fellas lls -
Even Lil Wayne can squeak in w/ Carter 2 and Drought 2 (i get em confused) as his highly regarded, memorable, 'this stopped everything' bodies of work
J Cole don't got ? but nice, fun, 'personal favorite' at best level bodies of work . Please anyone tell me im lying -
Even as the Bcotton/supergangster of Cole fans on the IC i will admit FHD is not a classic but its pretty close. However you can't say FHD is forgettable. The songs have plenty of replay value.
