    i'm not even trying to be pedantic, but: if you think big sean's album is worth listening to you simply need to listen to more music.

    I've interviewed a decent amount of artists/producers/journalists/other people in the music industry for my podcast but I rarely use that as a brag for why my opinion matters.

    Even though I'm kinda doing that now lol

    cant say anything for sean as i was not even remotely interested enough to listen to an album by him, but rocky's album was just really boring. for what was supposed to be a change in style, it was extremely uninteresting throughout

    90% of my favorite albums this year were made by underground or indie artists

    TPAB, T&Y & tame impala are probably the only exceptions

    ok i can understand that. i like slow, chilled out stuff like lsd more than pure bangers like lpfj2 so i thought it was great.

    You'd probably appreciate my top 25 I was posting (stopped due to lack of interest from ppl, but my top 3 was Lil Ugly Mane - Oblivion Access, Björk - Vulnicura, and Kendrick Lamar - To p---- a Butterfly): https://forum.sectioneighty.com/mtys-top-25-albums-of-2015-20-16-out-now.t48113/

    you're allowed to do whatever you want. but saying you "don't get" why people would scoff at him being in a top 20 list is just ill-informed.

    I think his bangers are really good as it hides the more uninteresting aspects of Rocky's rapping, which ALLA highlighted too much for me. But different strokes for different folks.

    He's corny and had a voice that could be very annoying. I really like him tough

    he's corny. he can't rap--it's cascading off-cadence syllable stacking nonsense. he doesn't understand what parts of each bar to hit.

    he writes like he's trying to win an eighth-grade talent show.
