    He sampled something oprah said in a film. And he didn't get sued. Genius

      ***** It was, despite being impressive on her part of being able to pull off another solid, maybe not great per say, work and creating many more huge hits. Fan or not shes written some good music in the past, while I would say her latest album was solid I wouldn't say it was very good, more so generic and unoriginal like you said. TPAB was an enjoyable yet pretentious "masterpiece" of some sort while even being somewhat cringey at what he was pulling off with it, but an honorable mention in any list of great hiphop albums still.
