Alt Title: 20/20 Experience Part 1 Appreciation Thread

Timbaland and JT was just creating Crack with P1

I can’t believe this is almost 15 years old, 2013 was an legendary year for music

20/20 was nice, just dragged on too long (yea yea it was purposely crafted but still). Pusher Love Girl is a GOAT opener though.

FS/LS was truly lightning striking.

His fall off will always be insane to me cause he was really like Beyonce-trajectory essentially when this came out. Seemed undeniable he was on his way to legendary and being the top male vocalist of his time.

From my point of view, yeah, he releases albums rarely and post 20/20 Experiences did some missteps. But from what I saw on Youtube his last tour with full production looks very fun and setlist is pretty banging.
I can't understand did he fell off because of those weird twitter dramas where they find a minute reason to hate on him every damn year?

I like the songs a lot but they’re all super long for no reason which f***s it up for me a bit

Yeah, this album is legendary and also same as with Yeezys I listened to it first, thought that it is just a masterpiece from start to finish and only then I found out that many people regard it as such.

It was like listening to Demon Days by Gorillaz without understanding that it is a classic, and thinking that it is just what nice music sounds like

But in the end 20/20 pt.1 is truly special, I even think that it is probably tighter then FS/LS as latter has some tracks that might be kinda cringy in 2025.

I like that about the album but I def hate mirrors and a few of the songs have aged poorly

Nah he fell off cause his last 2 albums were rly bad and also all the clips I saw of his last tour were v v bad as well

I can understand Mirrors, but I’m curious, what’s the other songs that aged poorly???

Idk man, something about long songs always sounds amazing to me.

I feel like everyone became so used to having short 2 minute and half songs nowadays that we barely hear Pre-Choruses, Bridges, or Solos in hit records anymore.

On top of that, the production is just so damn immaculate

Why does no one talk about Tunnel Vision? The best song from either of these to me

He has two good albums but both are classics

Amazing pop music

So many JT threads recently lol

Timbaland was showing his ass on this + Beyonce self titled later that year

undeniable classic but man radio/media overplayed it to death and its hard for me to go back to it

justified is still the goat for me

pop music peaked with this, some of the best music ever made

Greatest r&b/hip hop feature song on that album

Bump, just relistened to Let the Groove Get In.

This album is perfect dawg

Spaceship Coupe is one of my favorite JT songs

Always liked the album and always hated Mirrors

When I was a kid I thought these two albums were like the peaks of music but yea as an adult idk they don’t hit the same

For me personally I think the breakdown on pusher love is pretty bad, most of the album I like still

Also cabaret is an amazing track

TKO was that s***

Really??? I still think it’s the best part of the song, but overall it’s amazing
