shows a lot of potential on I’m Serious, but the album’s quality is still far from what would be Trap Muzik, King or Paper Trail. Is it their best album? Mystic Stylez is a great starting point into the Three 6 Mafia catalogue, but I think an album like Chapter 1: The End or Chapter 2: World Domination is a better pick. Is it their best album? I would say Music to Driveby. Compton’s Most Wanted – It’s a Compton Thang Pick any other Gang Starr album – Step in the Arena, Hard to Earn or Moment of Truth – and it’ll be a stronger album than their debut. Is it their best album? Personally, my vote would be for Teflon Don, but you could make a strong case for Port of Miami. Don’t sleep on Organized Konfusion though. Is it their best album? Yes, as a solo artist. If we’re counting mixtapes as well, then Days Before Rodeo will always be my favourite Travis Scott project. Is it their best album? There’s an argument for it, although I personally lean towards Astroworld. Is it their best album? The Coming is pretty fucking great, but I might have to go with When Disaster Strikes… and Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front over it. It sounds like the Butcher is cooking up another masterpiece. Is it their best album? Tana Talk 3 is Benny’s best album to date, but I have a feeling that it won’t be for long. Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z…, Me Against the World, All Eyez on Me and The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory are all superior to this album.
