carter 3 hot? nope…
deeper than rap hot? nope [didnt do great numbers but was #1]
BP3 hot? nope [selling off his name shit sounds like a pop artists album]
slaughterhouse album hot? yes weak sells
relapse hot album? yes high sells
Jay sold off his name and to me only about half of the joints were good on it the rest were so so. Deeper Than Rap came out a lil after The Last Kiss and Deeper Than Rap was typical Ross same coke tales when niggas already knew about his CO past lol. Slaughterhouse album is prolly the best album lyrically off this year and it aint sell that much. Relapse is underrated too and sold off of Eminem’s name alone but still had some of the illest material i’ve heard in awhile from him like Must Be The Ganaja (Second Verse is ill).
Fans dictate what sells and what doesn’t and the shit sucks. Most people want that radio pop shit and then when they get the album they front like its hot when usually the single is the hottest shit on there lol. But Im not hating though, it is what it is. All I can do is listen to the music that is raw and creative and support the artist.
I dont like Venus Vs. Mars, the Drake joint, and the Jeezy joint is….okay, but the rest of the album is nice. I’m in no way calling it a classic but it’s collectively a good album. My unbias opinion, I rate it like a 7.3.
