Nov 29, 2025 at 2:27 AM I've barely listened to any new hip-hop this year. Would love to see a list of what has released this year and see if I can h up.
Nov 29, 2025 at 2:30 AM Scrap that, just seen the list on OP. What a s--- year for hip-hop! Close really are the only contender. And that was January wasn't it? Looking forward to the Nas/Preemo album though.
Nov 29, 2025 at 10:33 PM I’d say EPs are allowed, yeah! As long as the project falls under the guidelines listed in the OP, I don’t see why not! and I’m down for saving a spot for the Nas album! Assuming that’s gonna be the last “big” release of the year. Who knows, I opened this thread last year then Kendrick dropped literally 2 days later lol
Nov 30, 2025 at 2:16 PM I honestly forgot it came out until it was time for this thread again haha, no disrespect I just never got around to listening to it and I didn’t see many people talk about it tbh his last album should’ve made it much further in the bracket last year
Nov 30, 2025 at 5:35 PM Cool! And yes I think it should be ok as per the guidelines, it’s a collaboration EP with 6 songs… Ren & The Skinner Brothers - Sick Sick Soul (vol 1)
Dec 2, 2025 at 3:03 PM "DO IT" by Stray Kids has been added to the bracket for going #1 on Billboard this week
Dec 2, 2025 at 3:05 PM 3 more slots left! (2 if we are reserving a spot for the Nas album next friday)
Dec 3, 2025 at 2:52 AM Man Up was even better than Man Down! But Clipse still absolutely light years ahead of the AOTY contenders.
Dec 3, 2025 at 4:05 AM I’m still kinda salty about how quick Man Down went out last year, deserved much better
