Like I understand generally in art there is a huge discrepancy between what is most popular and what is most well received by critics and hardcore fans, but something about this is different. Hip hop is an explicitly black genre and when you go on forums like RYM, AOTY or /r/hiphopheads it's almost like it's white fans speaking on behalf of the black fans who the music is made by and for. Absolutely zero real life black people listen to shit like Madvilliany, Veteran, Atrocity Exhibition, Yeezus or even to pimp a butterfly. Kendrick even knows that the black community largely didn't connect with TPAB and i think he expressed a lot of frustration with that on "The Heart Pt.5". He even went as far as to rank TPAB he least favorite of his albums despite it clearly being his best musically speaking.

I guess Im just thinking about why there's this weird racial disconnect in hip hop in particular where most of the actual black fans don't seem interested in stuff that the white fans are calling the best for them.

Edit: oops, started discourse
