haven't revisited it in full, but i do return to some of the highlights. mostly "too much jewelry," "too playa," and "narcos."

It's the 2K10's analog to Wu-Tang Forever, right? For lots of reasons.

both doing/did well, but without the sense that they'll continue moving things forward commercially long and sprawling albums, when compared to their breakthroughs5 and a half minute less immediate than normal opening singles
a few parallels for sure? Forever is certainly more highly regarded, but, that album took a minute to find its fans.

ok sure

forever is such a flawed masterpiece, like every song has a bad verse

should we start a new poll “culture ii” vs. “wu tang forever” jk culture 2 would win

heh
What ARE records like Forever and Culture II? Not really New Jersey's, but... close.
― mr.raffles, Saturday, 5 May 2018 02:39 (six years ago) link
Supastars is actually pretty great, btw. It’s no t-shirt but it has grown on me.
And the verses on WTF were good iirc? The problem was that they didn’t quite come together as songs, and that there weren’t many real hits.

XpostCulture II and Wu Tang Forever aren't New Jerseys they are Use Your Illusions, a thing I just made up

Sounds about right. Sr3mm is somehow NOT a UYI though.

Man wu tang forever is way better than this... culture ii is if wu tang forever was recorded by Das efx... migos are not young millennial wu tang I’m offended
― Listen to my homeboy Fantano (D-40), Saturday, 5 May 2018 17:06 (six years ago) link
I do agree they’re both UYA’s though
"young millennial wu tang"

migos needs more guys if they want to be wu-tang the wu had like 25 guys ghostface killer, ugly sword, the gnarly monk and so forth
― lag∞n, Saturday, 5 May 2018 17:23 (six years ago) link
and several of those guys released classic solo albums before 'wu tang forever' dropped

Wasn't comparing the quality of their work!
Comparing the cultural spot they find themselves in both heading into and out of the follow-up to their breakthrough.
