Why are people calling this album influential? Genuine question because the only impact I can recall is “alright” being used as a protest song.

Black music is so shallow that merely introducing instrumentation is absolutely mind blowing to them. For blacks, if its not mpc pads they cant really comprehend harmony
Ah, nice to see the usual LE (C)RAP fags are here
Rap is garbage and this album is no exception.
Original.
Unlike rap music.
Yet you still seethe about it.
Says the guy seething.
>t.
Guess you hate Jazz as well
>muh jazz!!!!!!!!!
Not exclusively black. Built on foundations of white music. The best are white. Cope and seethe
>Miles Davis
jazz's roots go all the way down to slavery. not sure what "white foundation" you're alluding to. jazz is what it is because of black artists, white artists merely copied and followed.
It goes back to the 12 note equal temperment system (white). Alan Holdsworth is more advanced than any nig jazzer
okay since you want to play this retarded game and ignore history i counter with this:
everyone came from africa therefore everyone is african and all advancements are african (black)
i win
Discredited. Lmao that theory stopped being pushed 10 years ago idiot.
>thinks all africans are black
WE WUZ KANGZZZZZ
black people don’t listen to this, it’s for whites with guilt. this board will never stop talking about it because of RYM
They desperately wanted a modern (c)rap album to be monumental so they decided to prop this one up for whatever reason.
god is gangsta
People use words carelessly. Because we are the product of many years of superlative praise for music from previous generations, we quickly try to apply those labels on music that hasn't been tested by time yet.
I liked this album when it first came out, but it hasn't aged well.
Learn to not be racist
Rap is literally music for the lowest common denominator.
>muh racism
Shut the fuck up loser rap is shit
Seething racist
>muh seethe
Concession accepted. Cant make a musical argument lmao. Listen to real music and your iq will raise
Neither can you people without resorting to racism.
You want a technical answer for why rap is shit? Fine
>basic time signatures. Rap almost never ventures outside of 4/4.
>lack melodic evolution. Since rap music often relies on samples, you will often hear the same 1 or 2 samples over and over throughout the song. Because they dont understand chord progressions they are not able to take the music anywhere interesting
>lack of melody in the top line. Rap is just chanting. They speak in flat notes. This is not interesting to listen to whatsoever.
>subject matter: the subject matter is all sex/drugs/crime the few that venture beyond this just write angsty self entitled music that portrays them as victims of society (while the song before was about a driveby lmao). Outside of sex/drugs/crime and their perceived victimhood they have no subject matter
Rap is literally the most simple music anyone can make. It appeals to the lowest common denominator. Its boring and tasteless. Anyone can make it and it will be the first casualty of AI
It's hard to say, it's definitely acclaimed but you don't really hear its style being used in the rap albums that came after it. It didn't lead to a renaissance of jazz rap and confessional soul baring rap or anything like that, the latter half of 10s hip hop was still in that soundcloud rap, cloud rap, trap mold
rap isnt music, get off this board
Elaborate
rap IS music
it's just beyond shitty music with no reedeming values, simple as
Its literally because of the cover and the name.
>DOOD TO PIMP A MF BUTTEFLY AYO WE FLY AS SHIT NIGGA YO WE GOT THAT CRAKKKA JUDGE OFF'D HE AN OPP DEADASS WE IN THE WHITE HOUSE NIGGA WITH MONEY WADS IN OUR HANDS N SIHET DOING GANG SIGNS AYO THIS BLACK CULTURE WE A BUNCH OF SHIRTLESS ASS NIGGAS WITH TOO MUCH SWAG AND WE TAKE THE WHITE HOUSE (OBAMA OBAMA OBAMA WE REALLY GOT A nagger TO SIT IN THE BIG SEAT SHIEEEEEEEEEEET)
Libtards love it. I get it. It's not for me. But i get it. It's literally just a fantasy. The equivalent of some diabetic NEET who sits on his ass all day imagining he goes outside and gets all the bitches. When you have no other options in life - you turn to daydreams that become more and more detached from reality.
the cover is ironic. the album literally criticizes that behaviour.
You're going to have to realize that these threads are filled with retards or people posting b8. There isn't point in arguing with people who would argue that "blacker the berry" is anti-white when the actual message is blatant, especially at the end.
Rap listeners aren't music fans, but they like to LARP as music fans, so they spew out shit they've heard music fans say
>influential
Is a term music fans throw around a lot talking about classic albums, so rap fans will say it just to try and elevate crappy rap albums
>All I can recall is that it influenced reality
Yeah that would make it influential.
>that instrumental on You Ain't Gotta Lie
It’s the magnum opus of hip hop for white middle class liberals, that’s why they shill it so much, from the album cover to the pro black/anti white lyrics and jazzy beats it’s the perfect album for a virtue signalling low t self hating white cuck, the funny thing is negros don’t listen to this shit, future and drake have been more influential to black males
