Most talented I agree with. But his ability as a rapper is nothing to gloss over.

He's cool as a rapper but a whole album of him rapping would be interesting

who are the top 3 most talented artists right now?

Pass

I agree,his rap voice is too monotone to keep you interested for a whole album. I know Frank would probably realize that and try all kinds of out pitches for his voice tho

A tape of Frank rapping over Aphex Twin beats would be classic

type

Pretty sure Frank is officially in his D'Angelo era though he's gonna be dropping like Rockstar drops GTA games

I ripped this and downloaded it to my phone it was so hard

Classic record

Idk. I would have my top 2 most talented as Frank and Kendrick but others might disagree lol

49 hours bro @blonded

There reasonable choices,only way one could disagree is if they had a good counter-argument. I think the only artist you compare against those two are Ye,Weeknd or someone like Dev Hynes tbh

Yeah. I would say ye and the weekend are really good counter choices. I think if Mac was still here he’d legitimately be in this convo

Definitely dev and yves tumor as well. I believe Tyler should also be in this convo

Mac was a great artist for sure but I think he spoke to a very specific audience vs guys like Frank,Ye,Kendrick etc,who turn heads,whether people like the end product or not. He was definitely getting better as an artist before he died tho,a true tragedy indeed.

Yea,Dev/Blood Orange always drop interesting/good-great music,thats distinctly theirs.

Tyler above Dev and Yves imo. His discography has continued to get better and flawless throughout the years. I’d even argue he has top 10 best in hip hop for sure

top 5 artists from the 2000s (no order):

• frank ocean
• kendrick lamar
• kanye west (yes, he's in a bad place now but you can't deny everything he made)
• d'angelo (yeah he started in the 90s but was very active in this millenium as well)
• mf doom

d’angelo and “very active”
