Just going back over some albums that I love, but didn't do that well in the mainstream: Q-Tip's The Renaissance and Guru's Jazzmatazz Volume 1. I struggle to find a bad track on either - they were reviewed well, but it seems like that style of hip hop has appeal to a subsection, but that doesn't translate to commercial success (especially in the case of Q-Tip, as Jazzmatazz was so niche there was almost no chance of it being popular).
my one complaint about the Kendrick Diss and a lot of his music (and I'm a fan) is I feel like the beats aren't there. I'm not nodding my head to that track like I am to "Hit em up".
Drake joined parody rapper Snowd4y for a remix of his “Hey There Delilah” cover, “Wah Gwan Delilah.” Some thought it was AI, the Plain White T’s cringed, and the jokes have been nonstop.
