In this episode of the NFR podcast, hosts Luca and Anthony dive into a spirited discussion about whether over ten significant rap albums from the 2020s will age like classics. Featured albums include Travis Scott’s “Utopia”, Kanye West’s “Donda”, and Kendrick Lamar’s “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers”, among others.
The hosts analyze each album’s impact, cultural significance, and musical quality while considering factors like commercial success and critical acclaim. They frequently debate the classic potential of projects such as Tyler, The Creator’s “Call Me If You Get Lost” and Future and Metro Boomin’s “We Don’t Trust You”.
By the episode’s conclusion, Luca and Anthony agree that while albums like “Whole Lotta Red” and “Call Me If You Get Lost” are likely to be seen as classics, others, like “It’s Almost Dry”, might struggle to achieve the same status. Ultimately, they acknowledge that time will tell which albums truly resonate with listeners.
