    :laff:

    I'm not too afraid to admit that I cringe at some of my opinions when I look back at them a few months later as well.

    If it wasn't for current events, this song would not have been picked. That's not good, and says a lot about pitchfork.

    you can think they're wrong, you can think they're influenced by the song's social significance. but you can't reasonably argue that they're alone, or in any way unique by having "alright" near the top of their list.

    (for the record, i think "song of the year" is a broad enough to justify taking context into account. that's how people build mythology about a song anyway--you're just seeing it in the reverse order.)

    One of thugs best and most relevant songs

    I'd say it's his most underrated but he probably has some God tier unreleased s--- only narsh has heard

    It's not in the top 20 Thug songs of the year and arguably not even the top 5 on B6. Definitely not in his top 5 most relevant either.

    It's funny. When TPAB first dropped, everyone on here was sleeping on alright. It wasnt even in most peoples top 3 at the time. Except me, that song kinda hit me right away and stood out as my favorite early on. Now it's kinda transformed and become this "song of the year" song and even so impactful that it's used in protests/rally's etc.

    Most heads I talk to tend to go with Momma
    jazz musicians go with For Free

    Yes and thats why tpab is such a great album, just like GKMC and S.80 before it, almost all songs are great and can be considered the best. I'm just pointing out how people were sleeping on alright when it dropped, but now everyone praises it. I called it lol
