Who nominated good music and didn’t pick the time that had Be, Finding forever, man on the moon?

Nah they wanted the time frame that gave hall of fame by big Sean lol

It would’ve lost anyways but still

 

[Elzo69Renaissance]

Good music by Miles

Niggas is stupid

 

[Silverfoxx]

Goldie you forgot to include Cilvia Demo and Z. Both were incredible albums.

 

[Suckio Andretti]

Goldie you forgot to include Cilvia Demo and Z. Both were incredible albums.

Stop man good music would be destroyed without them lol

 

[Silverfoxx]

Stop man good music would be destroyed without them lol

What you mean about this?

 

[Suckio Andretti]

What you mean about this?

It’s a wash without those extra two projects

 

[ZMaKEa]

It's TDE by a miles.

I ain't listening to nothing on Good Music at this time period.

 

[RozayTabernacle]

11-15 is definitely prime TDE/Black Hippy time. Not getting a group album from Kendrick, Rock, Q and Soulo during that time was definitely a a missed opportunity.

 

[BDBOULIBALY]

I’m assuming Kanye albums don’t count ? Cause I don’t even need to score this if it’s just the listed albums lol

 

[RozayTabernacle]

I’m assuming Kanye albums don’t count ? Cause I don’t even need to score this if it’s just the listed albums lol

His albums during that period were Roc/Def Jam

 

[Revolver Ocelot]

2012 TDE alone beats Good Music five years
