People are leaving Lupe off the list because he makes terrible creative decisions that overshadow his skill as a rapper

This. Lupe is an excellent MC, but bats terribly on beat picking on about half of his albums, and can get distractingly melodramatic (he's been on "my next album is the last one" since the Cool.) That said, there's no denying he can deliver really clever, layered bars with the best of them.

Seriously Lupe's probably the only dude I'd say can compete with Kendrick if they both at their best. He's not always the best at picking beats (although it's hard telling how much that was him or his label) and yeah he's really overdramatic and kinda an rear end but dude can rap his rear end off.

Honestly it seems all the Chicago non-drill rappers kinda have a dramatic streak in them.

Be weary when you see oppression disguised as progression

The Spirit told me to use discernment and a Smith n Wesson at my discretion

Practice heavy self reflection, avoid self deception
If you lost, get re-direction

So the album is REALLY never coming out now

Shiiiiiiiit

agreed, i haven't stopped spinning Flower Boy since it leaked, it's probably my AOTY so far tied with the Big Fish Theory.

i'm still surprised at how well he matured, i listened to Goblin the other day and it's like hard to believe it's the same artist.

every single thugger album since b6 has had me listen to it once, maybe twice, acknowledge that it's really good and then never listen to it again while throwing a few loosies in rotation.

i wouldn't go as far as forgettable, has a few great tracks and one honestly genius one right up front, but i cherry picked those and dont go back to the album as a whole.

Beautiful Thugger Girls is great imo, it's solidly been in my rotation over older Thugger for a while (along with that song with Chance). Seriously grew on me. Skip maybe 2 tracks
Family Don't Matter thru Me or Us is perfect to me, I've just been skipping the snoop dogg track & some other stuff

I know people who rank it as their fave Thugger album which is weird to me, but I definitely enjoy it

Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's Jimmy T.
Family Don't Matter, She Wanna Party, Daddy's Girl, and Relationship are all in constant rotation from BTG but I will still throw the whole album on and listen all the way through since it flows pretty well.

She Wanna Party, Me or Us, and Take Care are on my general playlist and thats about all I still listen to off Beautiful Thugger Girls. It's a good album though. I listened to it probably 20-30 times through over the course of two or three weeks which is a lot for me.
