"Camp Monk Academy" or GTFIH.

I get what you're saying, and that did occur to me after I posted that, that I was ignoring late-90s No Limit stuff. But at the same time, while that stuff was popular for a while, in my mind at least, it never really attained the total media saturation that 50 Cent did in 2003. That's why I said I could pretty much

Nabin really nailed it by pinpointing "In Da Club" as the Rubicon moment. Before that, I'd liked the rap that I liked and ignored the rap that I didn't, but that was the first time I was genuinely just like, what the hell?

"The reality is that no artist is beholden to an audience’s desires,
because those desires are so wide and disparate that satisfying them
would be impossible. But in the mind of a fan, artistic whims or changes
of life can feel like betrayals."

I wouldn't say "best," but easily most underrated. I loved it when it first came out (I was 13 and had just really gotten deep into R.E.M. that year), then forgot about it for a while (thought Reveal was better, etc), and then really came back into it two years ago when I haphazardly rediscovered a song I hated at
