Albums That Became Critically Acclaimed Years After Release?

[Goldie]

The first one to come to mind is Reasonable Doubt. It had solid reviews when it dropped, but it wasn't considered a masterpiece like it is today.


I'm seeing tweets like this going around about MMATBS







What are other albums that became critically acclaimed years after release?

Mr Morale was garbage

I think 10 years from some motherfuckers w the keys to the culture will start dickriding Distant Relatives

And ppl will then start acting like it was the greatest thing ever

I bought that Kendrick Lamar album off a bootlegger and listened to it once. I thought it was gonna be like GKMC or Damn.

I was disappointed. Maybe I'll give it another spin.

Always liked Mr. Morale. It was a different album that dealt with real life issues most MCs don’t got the heart to talk about. I’m sure it resonates more with this very self conscious current generation & if they wanna call it a classic I’m cool with it.

That being said albums like Only Built 4 Cuban Linx, It’s Dark & Hell Is Hot, & Supreme Clientele weren’t considered instant classics when they dropped. Over time tho they aged like fine wine.
