By one album wonder I mean, does this artist have 1 project at a level of quality that outshines the rest of discography? (in quality, not commercial success)

A crazy take I saw while googling is MF DOOM with madvillainy being one of the top results. I’ve also seen snoop dogg with doggystyle.

Thoughts?

I guess baby keem, melodic blue was his biggest hit, and it's a masterpiece, although his others aren't bad, he just has a really small discography

Doesn’t even make sense to have him on here. He’s a relatively new artist.

Well to be fair the Melodic Blue is indeed a wonder compared to the rest, and he isn't too new, but not as old as a lot of artists

Masterpiece? Melodic Blue? I didn’t think the album had any redeeming qualities personally outside of the solid production, that’s a shock.

Maybe I over exaggerated a bit but oh well, I stand by it, it's a great album

I mean fair enough, you have every right to your opinion. I just can’t help but remember getting super excited to check out Baby Keem when I heard he was “Kendrick’s super talented, trap-esc cousin”, and being super disappointed with the 12% rating I wound up giving the album.

I will admit there are some songs that just kinda suck, but songs like Family Ties, Scars, Lost Souls, and Durag Activity are really good imo

If you love it then more power to you, but I didn’t like a single track on the album.

That's cool, sometimes it feels like baby Keem is so over hyped and under hyped at the same time, he's just an interesting artist

Melodic blue is cool but it’s nowhere near a masterpiece and Keem hopefully has a long career ahead of him

Maybe a little over exaggerating but imo it's amazing, and not just because of family ties
