TESTING is underappreciated because people don't really sit down and give an album a couple chances instead of listening to easily consumable trappy beats. I would love to hear other opinions around the channel about your favorite albums of the year, why you think TESTING got overlooked by the public, and genuine opinions on the album. But TESTING is such a beautiful piece of art as an album and just about any person I've talked to that has given TESTING a genuine (and maybe a little THC) listen from start to finish agree with me that it's an amazing album and a top 10 album of the year or at least an honorable mention.

Everyone has their own taste in music and I can understand if some people didn't love TESTING and I have homies that prefer Flacko's other albums and I get that too. But in my opinion, from start to finish, TESTING is the best album of the year. KOD, Scorpion, KIDS SEE GHOSTS, Daytona, ASTROWORLD, Championships, i am > i was, 777 and many many more were great albums. In my opinion 'TESTING' is the best album of the year, and the competition is extremely high. I just feel like TESTING is extremely underrated / overlooked and it should be in more conversations instead of just being ignored. The mood changes, different styles, amazing music videos, anthems, and overall production. It's disappointing because I feel like there is so much to talk about on the album. But I am not seeing anyone really talk or mention TESTING in conversations about albums that dropped in 2018. I feel like A$AP Rocky's name, fashion & cultural influence, and overall following, people would be at least worth mentioning as being a highly anticipated album for the music world in 2018 (it did have HEAVY competition during that time of the year with other big album drops). It's almost like it didn't exist in some peoples universe. I don't see in anyones top 10 or even as an honorable mention. Instagram posts, Tweets, and YouTube videos from big music channels such as Rap Genius, Complex, and other popular and highly viewed videos. With the end of the year coming closer and closer I see the discussion for "Albums of the year" happening on all social media platforms. I understand that this is sort of bias place as far as opinions go for 'TESTING' but I also feel like it's the best place for this discussion.
