Ok this makes way more sense. I was looking at his Spotify streams and listeners and they pale in comparison to Taylor who is right below him on the list. But 7 albums versus one, that makes way more sense now

 

I get what moose is trying to say that he has a rabid fan base and stuff but like yeah 7 albums just this year can help those streams a bunch.

 

his Spotify numbers are whatever but his YouTube numbers are HUGE lol

 

Streams are streams

 

I wish metro Boomin would do what Kenny beats did with his album with basically bare any features and just let the beats shine by them self.

I know he’ll most likely release an instrumental version but I want him to make a solely instrumental with minimal background vocals.

 

The metro album is pretty much perfect

 

Regular trap is now like boom bap

 

In what way

 

It feels retro

 

Checked out the Metro album bc of this thread and holy shit that Takeoff verse on Feel the Fiyaaa is something else

 

asap rocky and takeoff absolutely destroyed that beat

it might have become my favorite metro produced song it’s SO GOOD

 

the way takeoff flow went and how he was able to nearly rap the whole alphabet is incredible

 

R.I.P. to the greatest of all time

 

Wow, can’t believe it’s been 15 years already.

 

Lol

 

A lot to people answering Cold Vein. Apparently I need to listen to that album?

 

All of those are great

 

It's Operation Doomsday for me but yeah some really choice picks there

 

I've only listened to Cannibal Ox once or twice, but I really liked them

 

Cold Vein has some of the best beats ever

 

The Cold Vein is a fantastic album. I'm sure it influenced a ton of the weirder rap that comes out nowadays.

Couple of those on that list I still need to check out

 

Not listened to the Dr Octagon or J-Live albums and not listened to the Deltron 3030 album anywhere near as much as I should have, but the other 6 are some of my favourite album of all time and 3 of them (Brother Ali, Aesop and El) are pretty much responsible for shaping my taste in hip hop. Stone cold classics.

 

Highly recommend The Cold Vein. Great album. Would’ve been that or Aesop Rock for sure.
