    kanye west is a much better writer and rapper than you have given him credit for, though the critical narrative around the last half of his career is murkier on that than you seem to think.

    i do not think All Eyez on Me is pac's worst album.

    people are more split on big's albums than you let on. it's probably 65/35 in Ready To Die's favor, but there's a strong argument to be made for each. also, me picking one out of two widely-celebrated masterpieces from one of the most acclaimed rappers ever hardly casts me as a contrarian.

    i'd say future's status as one of the best rappers out is pretty much a point of consensus this year. you might be the one lagging behind.

    gibbs has put out some of the most lauded mixtapes in gangsta rap for the last half-decade. everyone who's covered or listened to him since his interscope deal dissolved holds him in similar esteem to me. meanwhile, you're out here talking about saigon as an all-time great.

    i've never once tailored my beliefs to conform to or deviate from larger trends. i was on here talking about tpab as a disappointment before the first review was even published. keep reaching.

    this is a joke right?

    just because wpg doesnt always agree with you doesnt mean there are some illuminati forces at work making him go against the popular opinion all the time

    I think Kanye is a spectacular. It may be hard for you to believe, but I'm frequently defending Kanye to anyone I discuss music with. Mainstream opinion is basically that he fell off after his first few albums. I totally disagree, but there is nothing "murky" about how people view him as a lyricist. Read any comments section on FB.

    I distinctly remember you ranking All Eyez On Me at the bottom of his albums, obviously discounting ones released after the 7 day theory. You definitely rank it low.

    It's probably and 80/20 split with Biggie

    No one denies Futures fame this year, but simply put, people don't look to him as a great rapper. Most people enjoy the music, but you take that to the next level, and same with Gibbs. Most people don't know who Gibbs is tbh, so you saying he's one of the best out proves my point.

    And you telegraphed that you were gonna hate on Kendrick's album when "i" first dropped. And during the hype of the release, you were like one of two posters shi--ing on it.

    Years in the making fam

    Saying you disagree with half of what I said is still an achievement on my part considering you never agree with me tbh

    And of course @Narsh is here. Don't worry @WPG, we don't need to exchange barbs again, your cavalry has arrived.

    yeah whatever man

    you sound like a bumbling fool and i wanted to try and nip that in the bud if i could. but its all good you can keep trying to twist things to fit your narrative.

    ps WPG hated yeezus when it dropped, thinks GKMC is one of best albums of this decade

    see how dumb your circumstantial (not to mention just made up) "examples" are?

    "Hated Yeezus".... no he didn't. He didn't review it for a long stretch of time after it released actually.

    And his opinion on GKMC is also significantly worse than mainstream opinion. His opinion of Kendrick overall is pretty contrarian.

    I think over the past 4 years, I've said some of the most heinous things to @WPG and not once has he put me on ignore. You're just a child who isn't emotionally able to handle criticism

    i didn't like it and i didn't get it. but i said i didn't get it and was reserving judgment. i did, and once i wrapped my head around it, i gave my opinion.

    (p.s., if more people did that, we wouldn't have trainwrecks like the metacritic fuckery this thread's op is about.)

    i think good kid, m.A.A.d. city is a classic and one of the best albums of the half-decade. i think kendrick is a brilliant artist who has that album, a great mixtape in Section 80, a good one in OD, and an admirable swing and miss in To p---- a Butterfly. i think he's one of the best and most important rappers to debut since 808s. tell me how that's contrarian?

    i think you're bad at arguing your opinions and resort to ad hominem when people disagree with you.

    lmao i wasnt talking about you calm the f--- down
    i was talking about him

    not to mention i made like 1 post 6 pages into this thread. you're obsession with me is ridiculous. if you're not gonna ignore me ill help you out bb
    makes sense...the point still remains that perry cherry picking examples to prove his point is stupid. even if a majority of someone's opinions were agains the norm, you cant just assume they're doing it on purpose lolol
