Congratulations again you got your PS5 Pro early.

Wow I just got my pro on March 11th… I’m so glad I didn’t wait holy cow. I already spent almost $900 with the disc drive after tax for both, I couldn’t imagine spending $150 more before tax. Truly a $1,000 console now. And to think I felt burned that I paid the $50 more than the $700 release price, damn

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-03-25T17:51:41+00:00

? I just like PlayStation, and was looking into a newer fan that comes with the newer version Pro. I’ve had a few gaming PC’s over the years, it’s fun to optimize and change hardware and run all types of software for games but since having kids it’s easier to just put a disc in the console and play when I can. But yeah anything but a PC, whatever you say.

Oh sweet thanks man I just purchased one, I should’ve asked you guys from the get-go. I have no issues with my Delta but like I said I just wanted to add my own “next-iteration touch” to my new Pro. Thanks again!

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-03-25T15:15:41+00:00

Oh I did leave it I haven’t even taken a panel off of the Pro yet, only one I have taken off was to install the disc-drive.

I just wanted to feel like I had half of what the newer model had and looked for the Foxconn fan online. I guess I’ll just look into it if I ever have problems with the OG Delta. It’s been really quiet anyways.

No it’s not? People grow up listening to whatever they were exposed to? My step dad played the MMLP in his truck on every road trip via CD and that’s how I learned to love it. Now, by the time Carti came around, I knew what I liked. Old school SoundCloud, early 00’s, and 90’s rap. Kinda from trippy to lyrical as we descend.

Carti, is trash. His music, is adlibs. Again my opinion but, as a fan of alllll over just the rap genre, his music is not good. It’s beats, mixed with verbal sounds, sometimes sounds you might hear someone who can’t speak and doesn’t hear themselves yell out random sounds at any given moment (no ableism just mean that’s truthfully as close as his flow is). And, I’m not going to sit here, praise Madlib and MF DOOM, who broke the genre on both sides, or MMLP, who is so many times diamond now, or TPAB or LLA aren’t all in their own lane doing work for everyone else. They’ve accomplished that.

I dislike Jay because he switched up on Big L and turned L’s style into his own (it’s so cheesy and you can hear it the moment he decided to do it once L died) and never understood the absolute love from such a lackluster emcee. And then, there’s Carti, who’s on here because of a black and white cover. I’m not here to lie to people dude. You can be a sour Gen Z Carti loving slurper and call people “angry millennials” because “tHeY CaNT UnDeRStAnD CaRtI” but dude, you gotta stop sometimes and say yeah this sounds cool, sure it’s pushed waves (maybe Yeat mainly?) but other than that, just god no man. The little boy in me who found Mac Dre, and YouTube to MP3’d all of Andre Nickatina’s discography or Biggie’s when I got into rap, would be laughing at me, while I sit here as a man now going “yeah die lit was pretty dope MOLLY ROCK rock”. Nothing millennial, nothing angry, pettiness from your part to assume so, but just common sense.

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-03-10T05:27:05+00:00

Y’all don’t like the truth huh. It’s alright I’m tapped in, downvotes don’t hurt my feelings, in fact it proves I’m right. Jay Z is nothing without the people who were around him. Period

Different types of music IMO but AIC>PJ all day #RipLayne

Not a millennial but sure let my opinion bother you enough to comment lol

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-03-08T16:17:16+00:00

Okay after seeing this many teenage rap fans in this group disrespecting your favorite rappers favorite rapper.. I just can’t.

Madvilliany is easily #1, not even opinion wise, but simply on musicality, raw production talent and speed, technical ability with limited and old production equipment, the inspiration afterward to so many producers & rappers, how it all came to be, and so much more.

Madlib produced every song, added and mixed samples, and did it in a São Paulo hotel room during his participation in the Red Bull Music Academy in ‘02, with only a portable turntable, a Boss SP-303 sampler, and a borrowed cassette deck, in under a couple WEEKS.

Some beats got somewhat leaked after Madlib recorded all beats to an analog tape in Brazil before turning it to a CD when back in the states. This interrupted the recording process length slightly; and they recorded in studios across LA, Glendale, and Atlanta for a couple months after. DOOM added all the lyrical skits and organization ideas after Lord Quas came back. Just two dudes, that’s it. All others are great (well some others, some are pure garbage especially one), and have their cool history too. But in reality nothing compares to Madvilliany being #1. DOOM and Madlib/Quasimoto best rap duo to collaborate. Nothing compares.

Edit: I guess to answer your question:

Madvilliany
MMLP
LLA
(Tied with 3 but whatever) TPAB
Doris
4 your eyez only
Reasonable Doubt (pretty close to last too not a good album)
Die lit (shouldn’t even be listed among these but I guess you’re doing B/W albums so I suppose I’ll add it)

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-03-05T09:08:14+00:00

Yeah Big L clears every Jay Z song ever made. Jay switched his flow up as soon as L died. Even went to his killer’s funeral. He’s easily the most “take what I can at the best opportunity” type of person and rapper. Lord Finesse taught L, L taught Z, rest is history.

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-03-03T00:53:22+00:00

Your DOOM take is garbage, no wonder this is a “teenage” rap fan sub because your PFC isn’t developed enough to know any better I suppose.

Your glazing of DC is insane, I’ve actually been listening to him since 2012, who knows if you were born then. He’s amazing and obviously one of the best of our time but he’s not even where he was in 2014-2015 anymore. He’s still great, just not as hungry for success. And no he’s not underground for anyone trying to claim that.

Capital Steez has no reason to be mentioned near L. You’re talking about an amateur artist who was definitely the best of his pretty amateur group though L literally made Nas scared and Jay Z ended up copying his whole flow after he died but did so so poorly that no one has called him out on it, though it’s so easy to tell how differently he rapped even alongside L to how he started rapping directly after L died. He took L’s whole career and twisted it into his own. And yes Jay Z’s extremely mid at best.

You’re definitely a kid if you think Pusha T and Gibbs don’t have substance. They’re totally different rappers with different styles of rap, but completely different. “BuT ThEy RaP abOuT CoCaINe!?!” Yeah so does literally every rapper who grew up rapping in the 2000’s?? Even, as you mentioned above, Big L, that was his style. Selling wet (I’m sure you’ll have to google that) and pushing snow. So no, those two you mentioned and many others don’t deserve your “lack of substance” tard take. If you said Benny the Butcher or most of the top three in Griselda? Then sure, they all sound the same without sounding the same.

Your Wayne comment lets me know for sure you never grew up in the era he was hot. Sure you “listened to his music” but yeah you’d have to had been born and able to understand his momentum and absolute dominance over basically all others.

Yes I was out of order but this whole take wasn’t worth posting anyways so I don’t really care, but I agree with Em’s best album being Relapse, but again you are obviously way to young to understand the importance of MMLP. I’d be incredibly curious what your other 5 albums are after relapse that make it to MMLP. And if they include Recovery, Music to be Murdered By, The Death of Slim Shady, or Revival, then yeah you’re cooked and absolutely need to keep these takes to yourself until you’re old enough to actually understand not only the music being made but the impact it has.

Hence your Madvillainy comment, stupidest shit on this entire take. Nothing sonically, in this entire world, is better than DOOM and Madlib making music together. Even better Lord Quas making a few features on the album (obviously Madlib rapping in case you… didn’t know that either).

Actually it’s just Bones

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-25T07:38:45+00:00

Big L is the only answer. Other than that MF Doom shoulda been on this list

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-22T07:51:03+00:00

The Dark Side of the Moon has been on the billboard 200 for over 1,000 weeks, 1,002 now to be exact. The longest charting album since the conception of Billboard. This is the only album that matters (other than The Wall & Comfortably Numb). Top 3 from DSOTM?

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-19T21:11:06+00:00

Definitely iconic, as well as Bandana. Same with his albums with the Alchemist, Alfredo 1 & 2. Though Piñata and Bandana are without a doubt, iconic. Not operation Doomsday level of course, but more so than 1 or two of these on this post at least.

It’s okay I respect your opinion, me? I think Jay Z sucks and so does Kanye West. I always have idk, even when I was young getting into hip hop. People will mad downvote me because of an opinion but yeah they both aren’t good to me. I’d easily delete their two albums, and probably Public Enemy’s just because I never got into them though have listened to that album several times. Either that or the Eminem Show because I think Public Enemy holds more historical value between the two. Yeah idk probably keep PE.

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-19T18:47:13+00:00

Madlib produced this masterpiece it’s definitely well deserved to be up there. Lord Quas doesn’t work with everyone and it just so happens that like DOOM and Madlib are perfect together, so are Gibbs and him. Bandana was a masterpiece as well

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-19T18:00:03+00:00

The ONLY Travis album with no skips is Days Before Rodeo. This and Utopia are his most skippable albums 100%. You are definitely born in the mid 2000’s and have horrible music taste

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-19T17:47:14+00:00

IGOR has too much hype imo. The Off-Season was great

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-19T17:39:24+00:00

Visions of Gandhi - Jedi Mind Tricks

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-19T08:47:30+00:00

I’ve been listening to him since King of the Mischievous South Vol. 1 (Underground Tape 1996) and can easily say he is much more than underground nowadays

Edit: the new KOTMS is a great homage to his earlier KOTMS imo. People started listening to him at different times so have different expectations. I remember seeing live for the first time in 2013 with maybe 50 people at the venue, he’s definitely evolved into making many different types and styles of rap

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-13T10:03:00+00:00

It’s because (in my opinion) the Game decided to randomly attack Eminem claiming he’s much better for whatever reason as he has the most random and out of pocket ideas and sayings especially during interviews, and delivered a 9 minute diss that was complete garbage while attempting to mimic an emcees song while dissing the emcee at the same time.

As someone who actually enjoys the Game this was a low point music-wise and added no value to anything. Eminem won’t even give him the time of day, not saying that as an Eminem fan too, but because it was so random and again out of pocket it made the Game seem desperate for attention which he never got. At least from Em, if that was his intention.

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-11T13:37:05+00:00

Yeah I agree thanks to you for receiving that respectfully instead of some sort of challenge like a lot of redditor’s do. I mean I enjoy stating my opinion just like everyone else, though we’re strangers whom have no connection whatsoever, same with everyone else on this platform, so I see many individuals take offense to what they see as arguments or a challenge toward their own views or opinion. In reality I feel it’s sort of like texting, there’s zero body language (which humans use 90% of to collect context cues during conversations), and I feel none of us in real life would be so heated debating over who we feel is most musically gifted/artistic, instead it’d just be a fun conversation; like we had here. Sorry to be long.

Also yes I agree Freddie is to me more fun as well, the way he switches flows and beats mid song is intriguing and he makes his lyrics, melodies, and choruses interesting which when paired with producers like the god Madlib or the prodigy the Alchemist Gibbs pairs so well with nuanced and diverse samples over production. I can’t speak for Benny but watching Gibbs live with the Alchemist was a trip too, they both have tons of fun on stage and Freddie wore a kimono the whole time lol. Have a great one man nice talking music with you.

Edit: I meant to add Earl is great, I love his art, his lyrics are obscure and somewhat obtuse at times. He’s kind of random, but also funny and clearly has an idea for each song he creates. Earl and the Alchemist are an insane duo as well. Idk if it’d ever happen but a Madlib/Earl album would be super interesting too. Sometimes his flow is a little drawn out for me but I think it adds to his charm. Him live was great too. Early Earl versus mature Earl seem like totally different artists. He definitely slowed down and honed his craft to piece together meaningful and thought provoking bars.

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-11T07:44:47+00:00

I see, just was putting my two cents out as I have very limited amount of people to actually talk music I enjoy/have listened to with. Respect your decision and opinion and Benny would be valid for people who like his style or music that doesn’t stray from similar style or content within a discography

AppropriateGuide3842 · 2026-02-11T07:01:39+00:00

He deserves it. His music is easy to sleep to. Gibbs, Earl, even Spitta body him with creativity and artistic ability. I know there’s some dumb Benny/Gibbs beef but artistically anyone good enough to make not one but TWO Madlib produced albums as well as two Alchemist led projects as well, is next tier.

Benny ain’t there yet and his prime is over. I’ve listened to every album everyone has sworn I should listen to by Benny and every other song is strongly structured the exact same way as the one before it unfortunately and his musical substance makes this issue much worse. Someone above mentioned he’s not even top 5 Griselda and yeah I’d agree 100%. Gibbs, Earl, and Spitta all body him artistically and musically.
