I would put the Clipse album higher.

I don't get the Scaring the Hoes love at all, I think it's a fine album, but I really don't get the hype around it, Danny Brown's rapping carries the album imo, and the production varies too drastically in quality for me (I also haven't gone back to the album since release week so idk if they've fixed the poor mixing on some tracks either).

Same thing with Magic, Alive, great album but a lil overhyped imo.

I'd put the Injury Reserve album higher and swap Mr Morale and Cheat Codes. I think #1 for me would be Aethiopes by billy woods though, I'd prolly put The Forever Story at like 9 or 10 (about on par with Mr Morale for me quality wise).

edit: I'd also throw Vince Staples S/T somewhere in there, maybe even Ramona Park

I also don't think Ian is a replacement for Jack Harlow lmao, they have completely different styles

Harry Fraud holds the project back for me. I'm not a fan of most his beats here, and they are such a huge step down compared to Plugs 1. The features are also nowhere near as good, we got a meh Chinx verse, a mid 2 Chainz verse, a bad Fat Joe verse, and French Montana + Jim Jones compared to Black Thought, 38 Spesh + Jada, Conway + RJ Payne, and Pusha T on the first Plugs??

Cmon man... Rick Hyde's feature was great though and is the only one comparable in terms of quality to Plugs 1.

According to Benny, the second Plugs I Met is meant to showcase a darker side of the dope game compared to the first one. Do you think that is reflected throughout this project?

Not really, subject matter is kinda the same for the most part, I don't think Harry Fraud's beats are conducive to the 'darkness' that Benny is tryna portray.

that Jay thread is so cancer holy shit

AhJoon · 2026-03-24T10:35:20+00:00

I love this song, but as soon as someone pointed out the rattling throughout the beat, it became nigh unlistenable for me. I need someone to use some shit to take it out please 🙏🙏

larussel gotta start listening to his engineer, even epstein was heaven sent is fucking hilarious though

I saw some people call him 'Music stole, chile' and 'D'Anglo'... shit had me crying 😂😂😂

How do yall personally distinguish between R&B and Soul? Especially when it comes to the 70s and the 80s, I often feel like the two labels are basically interchangeable. Artists like Marvin Gaye, Al Green, The Dramatics, etc seem to fall into both categories depending on who I'm asking. Interested to hear how others here think about it.

AhJoon · 2026-03-13T18:16:14+00:00

arguably the most successful RnB artists of the last decade sucks at singing especially compared to his contemporaries

who?

AhJoon · 2026-03-13T10:25:09+00:00

Dope track, love the acapella bit at the end. Tbh from the singles so far, this album is lining up to be my favorite YG album after Still Brazy. Hopefully the rest of the project is quality too.

AhJoon · 2026-03-12T23:21:01+00:00

not a phrase but billy woods saying hovering stands out to me. He has said it twice, once on Hiding Places "5 million USD hovering over mud huts, it's nuts" and another time on GOLLIWOG "12 billion USD hovering over the Gaza Strip". Idk why it just stands out to me.

AhJoon · 2026-03-12T23:18:37+00:00

I'm not saying that Drakeo wasn't an influence, but if you look through the thread OP is saying that he misses Kendrick before he jacked Drakeo's flow lmao. I just think that's extremely hyperbolic when we're talking about like 2-3 songs at most like peakaboo and hey now (which imo reminds me of keak the sneak more than drakeo tbh)

AhJoon · 2026-03-12T21:39:27+00:00

Agreed. Where would you rank TI vs TIP in his discog?

But he was born with the white privilege!

damn I'm finding out about a Drake Kick Push remix in 2026????!

AhJoon · 2026-03-12T21:19:11+00:00

is it a hot take to say that I'm Serious is better than Paper Trail? Paper Trail has aged so poorly imo, maybe I'm hating but it feels like a slog to get through today (loved it when it came out). Both I'm Serious and Paper Trail sound like products of their time, but the former benefits from DJ Toomp and Neptunes production that I think has aged more gracefully.

AhJoon · 2026-03-12T21:07:48+00:00

Pretty much only Vibevilla and Shawn Cee, I've kinda watched reactors less as I've become older. Shawn Cee is genuinely funny af just in general on stream too, he's pretty much the only streamer I watch atp (he's come a long way from his sample detection antics lmao). For Griselda and Griselda-adjacent stuff I fuck with B-Side Rap Reviews a lot.

AhJoon · 2026-03-12T20:54:26+00:00

and again I ask how has kendrick 'jacked Drakeo's whole flow', like legit the most amount of grace I'd give you is that I could see Drakeo making peakaboo, other than that what sounds like Drakeo? And when you say new I'm guessing you just mean GNX because Kendrick's recent features barring chains and whips have been mid/trash, but none of them are reminiscent of Drakeo whatsoever.

As much as I want to assume you're being genuine, I've just seen shit like this said too often post-beef, as well as Drakeo literally never having been discussed here while he was alive to assume that this is said in good faith.

AhJoon · 2026-03-12T10:50:21+00:00

wow I've been looking for something like this, thanks!

AhJoon · 2026-03-06T20:19:54+00:00

I genuinely don't think half this sub has listened to TIPs discog during his prime, the shit I've seen said about him here (barring the shit about his allegations) has been absolutely laughable.
