MBDTF is definitely a classic.
I don't rank classics, once you're in the group, you're in the group...and that album is right there with illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Blueprint, Good Kid/MAAD City, your favorite biggie album (Ready To Die or Life After Death) and your favotire Eminem album (MMLP or Eminem Show)...should probably put College Dropout and/or Late Registration in that too.
2014 Forest Hills Drive is also a great album from J. Cole, not quite classic worthy though. However, if you're a Kendrick Lamar fan you'll say Section.80 should be in there - and I wouldn't argue.

No one would care if they were male.

They wouldn't be the same band, though. That's almost like saying, NWA: No one would care if they were white.

Eminem sucks.
February 13th, 2015 at 4:25 PM ^
That's a very unpopular opinion, especially to have in the state of Michigan.
P.S. I completely agree

I think he is hilarious and Ive never beaten my mom before..
just sayin'
February 13th, 2015 at 4:28 PM ^
Not a huge Em fan, and I wouldn't say he sucks, but generally he's overrated.
His early albums are really strong, and he's quite possibly the best rapper of all time in terms of technique. However, artistically, he's been really weak over the last decade or so.
February 13th, 2015 at 6:17 PM ^
February 13th, 2015 at 4:54 PM ^
On that we agree.
February 13th, 2015 at 10:12 PM ^
He's going to Unite Us!
February 14th, 2015 at 10:26 AM ^
He sucks...NOW.
If you would've said that Eminem Show or earlier then you should be smacked.
Just like Lil Wayne SUCKS
...if you would've said that Carter III or earlier then you should be smacked.
Just like Jay Z SUCKS
...if you would've said that Black Album or earlier then you should be smacked.

Pitbull and The Carpenters.
That's about as extreme opposites as you can get. :-)
February 13th, 2015 at 4:40 PM ^
Was never a huge fan of most of their music but Karen Carpenter's is the best female voice I've ever heard.
Fun trivia: She was an amazing drummer. (seriously, on the level of Buddy Rich)
February 13th, 2015 at 4:59 PM ^
Karen Carpenter's is the best female voice I've ever heard.
Absolutely ... the no-talent hacks on "American Idol" can learn a thing or two by listening to Carpenter. Hint: vocal control is more important than hitting the big notes and trying to gospel-warble everything, damn it.
February 13th, 2015 at 6:55 PM ^
Karen was great. That smooth voice of hers would have perfect in the Big Band 40's, singing torch songs in front of the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.
Plus, her version of "Merry Christmas Darling" is one of my favorite Christmas songs.

MGoBrew Mom.... But you're nuts. Yeah nuts.... a complete whackjob.

The Victors needs to be replaced with something more modern to pump up fans.
February 13th, 2015 at 4:24 PM ^
Should not exist.
Kayne hasn't been good in 5 years. Biggie is the greatest rapper of all time.
I really only respect musicians who play their own instruments and write their own music.
February 13th, 2015 at 4:33 PM ^
In the context of this blog, I bet those are extremely popular opinions.
February 13th, 2015 at 5:34 PM ^
I'm happy EDM has gained traction around the world. DJing is one of hiphops 4 basic tenants yet has been relegated to clubs and dance venues, which is a shame.
EDM, electronic music in general, gives DJs the recognition they deserve.
February 13th, 2015 at 4:25 PM ^
I bet if Lennon was alive today he would've lost alot of credibility by now.
February 14th, 2015 at 7:55 AM ^
Honestly, I get the feeling he'd already lost some before he died. Once there's a tragedy like that, everyone just focuses on the highlights.
I've said the same thing about Cobain as well. I still think that if it had been Eddie Vedder that killed himself after a couple albums and Kurt was alive today making ukelele music, our perception of which band was the driving force of grunge in the 90's would be different.

Soulja Boy put out the best rap from 2007-2011.
February 13th, 2015 at 4:42 PM ^
That is so unpopular, I can hardly comprehend it???!!!... It has rendered me unable to properly punctuate?!.
February 13th, 2015 at 4:45 PM ^
I love you.
Not because I agree with you (I don't), but because you believe that Soulja Boy put out the best rap from 2007-2011. You are a unique person. I wish we were friends. Also, I deserve a Grammy.
February 13th, 2015 at 5:17 PM ^
^ This. His "Crank Dat" was emblematic of all the shitty, thoughtless, get drunk/bang ho's rap of of 2007-2011.
February 14th, 2015 at 2:39 AM ^
Im confused...
You say that as if hip-hop music suddenly became this deep artform with a lot of meaning behind it. I thought the point of rap music was to listen to all the ridiculous things these people say and laugh at it
February 14th, 2015 at 3:15 AM ^
Lol hip-hop died when rich label owners noticed their daughters like to dance to big beats and shity 1, 2 steps made up in 2 seconds, thus giving shit like Soulja Boy, Bobby Shmurda, Lil Scrappy, Rae Sremmurd and the Yung Jocs of the world 0 incentive to actually make decent music for a payday.
Yes, the mainstream music industry is dictated by the tastes of 14-20 year old white girls.

St. Anger was pretty okay and I believe that anyone who hates it never really gave the whole album a chance.

February 13th, 2015 at 5:02 PM ^
I try every once in a while to listen to it and that steel drum clang sound just gives me a pounding headache. Love their first four albums, thought ...And Justice For All was actually better than Kill 'Em All
