Was thinking about this today. Good/unique flow, interesting/insiteful/poetic lyrics, production that matches the rapping well/thematically, production that stands out, et cetera. This is just off the top of my head. I think this album encapsulates all of the things I listed.

>>73014813
>oldschool

Logic is at least technically decent but his ideas are half-baked at best. Hopsin, on the other hand, is just terrible. He tries to be so edgy while he spouts inane lines like did the man who invented college go to college that he thinks are so deep while acting like he's so unique when all he's doing is badly aping Slim Shady-era Eminem.

When Control dropped, there's a reason Hopsin wasn't mentioned.

Easily this album. No matter how many hip-hop albums I listen to over the years, I always find myself returning back to this one.

>>73014992
If Hopsin isn't trying to be edgy, why does he wear those stupid white contacts? He literally says whatever he can to be provocative, on Ill Mind of Hopsin 4 he says
>Life was lame, I had to pay money to fuck a whore
>I couldn't pull a damn anorexic bitch in a tug o' war
>But then I made enough money for me to fund a tour
>Now the ladies show me the goodies under their wonderbra

Then in Ill Mind of Hopsin 5 the next year, he says
>You havin' sex with every-motherfuckin'-body you see

and other jabs at people for doing exactly what he was bragging about the year before. The entire song is him rapping about how stupid normal people are, which is the definition of edgy neckbeard behavior. He's terrible.

And you have never listened to other hip-hop, have you? You don't know what trap sounds like and you clearly haven't listened to Kendrick since with the exception of Backseat Freestyle, which was in character as a 16 year old trying to impress his friends, he doesn't rap about anything close to that.

>>73019616
Thinking more on it, I really liked the whole "psychotic serial killer" vibe that it mostly had, it was pretty unique when I first listened to it. Also, Beautiful is still one of his best songs IMO

If one would only listen to two Gucci Mane albums, one pre-prison and one post-prison, which would they be? I don't know if I really have the patience to listen to all his material but he seems like an interesting artist.

> "psychotic serial killer" vibe that it mostly had, it was pretty unique when I first listened to it.
go listen to early Necro, Ill Bill, Gravediggaz, Rhyme Asylum or Cruger if you want newer stuff. Eminem is nowhere near being one of the originators or greats of horrorcore, shit even the ICP faggots did it at the same time as him.

>>73018475
Worst: ENCORE

Third worst: RELAPSE
