    I liked Control System if we're being honest but These Days was an abomination. The Book Of Soul in particular was great. I said this in a thread a few months back but the problem with TDE is that every artist on the label is trying to be Kendrick and recreate TPAB, 90059 is a prime example of that.

    Blank Face is the equivalent of elevator music. TDE fell off hard since 2013. At least we still got Isaiah.

    You can't fall off when you never made good music

    Other than the opening title track, I don't remember a thing about it. I always liked that song though because of the "my girl died and I lost my mind, I'm off everything except heroin" line at the start of the 2nd verse.

    i know right, Q and Jay rock follow Kendrick's anti-mainstream path and the fans (of TPA:emoji_sunglasses: eat it up like it''s just classic after classic. 90059 was a weird, forced album. Can't even remember Q's new album except 1 song. Q and Rock had better albums when they weren't signed to TDE. "tpab will sell 1 mill 1st week" i mean, they are delusional as s--- at TDE so it only makes sense for TDE stans to say everything that's s---, is good.

    Yeah I hate myself for entering this sxn because I feel like this is all just one big troll I missed entering when TPAB dropped.

    Rashad is way too generic to even be considered as a top 3 rapper in TDE

    Ab Soul is their best rapper, Kendrick is better artistically though.

    I fail to see how Rock and Q tried to replicate tpab, their albums sound nothing like it.

    If anything Isaiah is the one being a diet Kendrick/ScHoolboy Q/Jay Rock. He has some good tracks here and there but he's pretty forgettable dropped a boring a--- forgettable project.

    Nobody denying that these days was forgettable, but so is Rashad's last album.

    Blank Face and 90059 were dope though

    Just the usual conscious rappers hate on sxn80. I like Isaiah but he's easily the least interesting artist in the squad...it's pretty laughable to compare his projects to Soulo's best efforts. Do I enjoy isaiah's music? sure...do I think his music is that good? f--- no

    scHoolboy Q and Kendrick are the only talented rappers in TDE. All the other clowns have never released a good album.

    -Ab-Soul has 1 mediocre album. These days one of the worst rap albums ever made period.. like that s--- is so bad it makes migos sound good.
    -Jay Rock is only famous for his perfect verse on money trees. He doesnt have an original style cuz he bites oldschool wc more than others.
    -Isaiah is a drug addict whose brain is so damaged that he doesn't know how to make music. He can't even rap

    I think SZA has a unique voice but im not really sure what direction she is going with her music....there are only a handful of songs I actually listen to from her and its rare that ill play those

    I like her and i think she could make good music that breaks out into the mainstream, she just needs some direction and good coaching. she definitely reminds me of Erykah Badu
