I can't think of one hip-hop artist who started out as a solo artist and then went on record a joint/group album or tape that I enjoy. With the exception of Madvillainy of course, but that hardly counts

Watch the Throne is like a 7.5-7.8 for me

I'm just saying they shouldn't be any indication of what Ye is gonna be up to with his next album

exactly. the best songs on cruel summer may as well have been kanye solo songs.

Yea, label or group albums are almost uniformly terrible. I remember liking one of the early Ruff Ryders albums, but that probably is so aged and dated it's not worth even mentioning.

I'm so glad there is now a picture of Paul Wall in this thread

Uh, okay. Aside from Heart Donor and maybe two other songs, there's was nothing outright bad about it.

[ChaplainTappman]

I hope bitch bad is one of those other songs because that was probably one of the worst songs of 2012

It was an obvious attempt to try to "come back" after the massive flop of lasers and it ended up being one of the most bland albums of 2012

Yea, F&L2 was the most middle-of-the-road albums of 2012. Nothing outstanding, nothing terrible. The beats were snoozers. But I still stand by "Bitch Bad." That was a solid tune.
