1st one ez and I’ll be toured in goat lists and rich forever off it I could be happy with that cuz I’d be etched in history books anyway

Id rather be Snoop Kendrick or 50 than most rappers

I love the art no way I’d sacrifice my potential for greatness with mediocre longevity I’d give my life for this s*** why wouldn’t I also give my long term ability to underperform in exchange for changing it forever

Any answer besides this is weird ^

Be a respected artist at the pinnacle of your field or be fodder for a ktt thread?

career of mid

you'd rather have the reputation of never being able to make a classic instead?

u have 96 hours to respond with a different artist itt

thats like most artists out tbf

What's this an Undercover Jcole Thread???

Lauryn Hill The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill

is top tier classic

Different genres

Don't Miseducate the kids.

yea so why wouldnt you wanna be one of the few that made a classic

I just wanna sell well f*** the opinions

If the artist was truly about their craft, you get a classic

But too many "artists" just want the money

They are only in it for the dollars, type of person, therefore

You no longer get art,

You get the best personality that sells.

Ever few years create an exact opposite approach and raise and repeat.

But every few years, real art breaks thru the cracks, and you start to see a real change in the culture

That's what makes it a Classic, A Classic isn't made, but created thru the failures of others.

But too many try to build a Classic off another's person Classic, therefore it's just recycle goods in plastic

i think it really depends on your own priorities

some may just want the money / clout of rapping but not really care about the art (ie. a 21 savage)

some may want to respect the art, show off skill and/or redefine a genre (ie. a nas)

and theres probably 100 more reasons/priorities to do one or the other

One classic and I'm done
and why would I be dating Mia Goth?

Would rather drop the one classic then dip….legendary s***

A classic is forever . mid is not

the game

Pretty solid idea for real

career full of mid it’s worked for cole and drake for damn near 20 years

game makes perfect albums nobody wanna hear cus his antics

bad example lol

dropping some mid in 2015 and having a song on there pop off 2026

Crazy stray, Denzel has some great projects

dropping a album that gets met with mid reception but it gains a cult following and status down the line
