Dec 14, 20186.5/10. Huge album like y'all already said (It pratically created a new standard for solid trap albums in the recent years), but I must say I find the album overrated because of it. This was Future as an icon creating the album we kinda expected, but it was clearly not Future at his most creative.
Monster is rawer, darker, lonelier, more honest (no pun intended) and just hits harder in pretty much every aspect imo.
(sorry for the weak blurb)
(I might go back and rate some of the earlier albums I missed Sav! keep the thread going, it's really cool to read y'all)
I'm not the raphead you are obviously, but I'll try to argue against you here ; when DS2 dropped we already had Finally Rich, Barter 6, Rich g--- Tha Tour, Days Before Rodeo, Monster and all these Thugger leaks - DS2 was a phenomenon, but I don't think it created a new atmosphere/a new sound in the hip-hop landscape... or did it?

i do not know if this is his best album, but I think this one has the best production. every track is a b-----r and I mean every track really, really slaps. It has the gucci flip flops line. it has everything. I love every part of it. This is the magnum opus of trap and entertainment music. 9.9/10KingZ, Sav Stanfield and Ordinary Joel like this. -

Probably an 8/10
I think this might be the album that properly got me into Future. This album was the end of an incredible streak of projects from Monster, Beast Mode, 56 Nights to this. I might have DS2 as the weakest of the 4 but I still regard it a great album. Thought it was a Drought was a classic song and looking back at the other songs of the tracklist reminds me of the good times I had listening to this album. He really killed 2015 with this sound. Feel like he's struggling to fit in with this newer generation now.Ordinary Joel, Fire Squad and Sav Stanfield like this.(This ad goes away when signing up) -

Gonna be a short write up 'cause there’s nothing I can say about this album that @Fire Squad didn't already say better. It's the best Outkast album, Andre was at peak weirdness and creativity, and Big Boi's grittier style compliments him perfectly. The production is almost unparalleled to this day and sounds cohesive af, despite the wild stream-of-consciousness rapping. Top 5 rap album oat as far as I'm concerned.

From ATLiens to Aquemini was an interesting transition from experimenting but now, there's much more southern elements added to it. This album has to be one of the greatest hip hop records of all time. Songs like Aquemini and SpottieOttie are legendary in their own rights. And the production on this album is god-tier. One of my favorite rap beats ever is on this album (Da Art Part 1). All of the sounds and moods they convey on this album is crazy. I love this album. 10/10Sav Stanfield, Ordinary Joel and Fire Squad like this.
