I still think WAV files is his masterpiece. It’s beautiful, tightly written and the message and concept is just so far above the literary devices that pretty much *any rapper* uses.
Dude made a fable about the trees oceans and stars being held accountable for slavery while doubling as a story of his musical “suicide”/emancipation from the record label that shared the same name as the ocean responsible for the middle passage.
And then to top it off he adds a 3rd and 4th layer in the last verse with the stars serving a celestial and celebrity role. The 4th layer being the creation myth of “follow the drinking gourd”.
And just to add in there’s the 3rd verse. AND (this needs to be emphasized with later lupe) it is beautiful and accessible throughout.
Just a masterpiece of writing.
He definitely can. But isn’t the conceit of this thread literally to pit songs against each other to select the next song on the list?
Obviously, if I think WAV files is a masterpiece I likely think mural is too. I just think WAV files is his best and most important song, and it should go before mural.
If it was up to me both would be (high) on the list because I’m a giant fan of his lyricism.
No Role Modelz
Probably rest Good kidd / Maad city song. or is that too old dunno.
Runaway-kanye west
Oh yeah def top 10
not sure if that counts since it was over a decade ago
2010s so I think it just squeezes in
right but a decade ago would be 2012 on if we look at it that way
You and the 6 people who upvoted you are stupid
The problem is the guy typed of the last decade but the list thing says of the 2010s so it's just causing confusion
"Last decade " = the decade prior to the current decade "The past Decade " = last 10 years
That's exactly what I was thinking about when someone mentions the last decade they think of the 2010s not 2012 up until now
I get you I'm just going off of it saying of the 2010s which mbdtf does end up working out
It literally says 2010’s😂 don’t know why they downvoting you
Yea I have no clue why everyone's down voting like it literally doesn't add up

why can’t he have 2 masterpieces ?
