I agree, but personally to me it showed what a small artist can do by himself in a genre that is looked down upon by every other genre. He didn't change anything in the genre of music, but I think it should be under modern music, but that's just me. A lot of his underground music that wasn't in forest hills drive has a lot of deep meaning, but you're right about the album, it's just good music.
-
It's not even his best album nor is it very genre-defining. The only album from Eminem that deserves a spot on one of these lists is SSLP, in my opinion. Though, I don't know where I'd put it because Horrorcore isn't a very relevant subgenre.

由tjustie编辑: 10/4/2016 3:54:07 AMMaybe a G-funk subgenre? Stuff like Dre's The Chronic, Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle, 2Pac's All Eyez On Me, and Nate Dogg's G-funk Classics Vol 1 & 2 or Music and Me? Or maybe that stuff would fall under old school. Also I don't know what category it would be under, but I feel like The College Dropout should go on here somewhere.

I think G-funk could work. But maybe we could generalize it to West Coast? Also, I edited the Alternative Rap section and added The College Dropout. I agree that it's pretty significant as it is set the tone for hip-hop straying away from gangsta rap, I just didn't want anyone getting mad at me putting Kanye twice, as I am what some would call biased. I can't remove 808's because of how influential the album was. But now that I'm thinking about it, should we have The College Dropout, or Late Registration? Many people consider LR an essential Kanye album, and it was a bit more transparent about its avant-garde aspects than CD.

由tjustie编辑: 10/4/2016 8:51:52 PMI think West Coast is distinct and wide enough (is that contradictory?) of a sort of overarching subgenre that it could work. As far as LR vs TCD goes, I dunno. I personally like TCD a little more, it has some of my favorite songs, and I think that since it came along first, it probably had more influence than LR, which functioned more to solidify the kind of rap and production that TCD brought about. I think a lot of people are of the opinion that LR is like a better TCD though; It's a bit more cohesive of an album, and doesn't have quite as many skits breaking up the flow of the album as TCD does. Either would be great additions to the list imo.

[quote]Subgenre 4 should be trap. With the albums DS2 by future and lil boat by lil yachty. Some other people can figure out others[/quote] I'm not exactly sure those qualify as "trap." Trap music is more like, Rick Ross's "Teflon Don," or T.I.'s "Trap Muzik." I would argue that they fall in the category of alternative rap, and that they wouldn't exist without people like OutKast and Kanye West. Though, I could see a case being made for labeling them "hype rap" and having perhaps some Young Thug, Chief Keef, and Waka Flocka Flame in there.
