    Great read from Jayson Buford, who's opinion I think quite highly of, and a great interview. But I was very interested to see him saying this in the intro:

    "Enter last month’s Mach-Hommy album, Pray for Haiti. Simply put, it is the best rap album to drop since Young Thug’s Barter 6."

    Not sure I agree with dude on this one.... Surely there's gotta be more classics that fall into that same category/tier that have dropped in the interim?

    A few possible contender just off the top of my head:

    Die Lit / WLR
    Culture
    Still Brazy
    Igor / Flower Boy
    The Sun's Tirade
    DS2
    Kids See Ghosts
    Daytona
    Meet the Woo
    Tana Talk 3
    ZUU
    d--- / TPAB
    Rodeo
    Alfredo

    Do none of these (or any others) qualify as same level hip hop classics? Or was he just being hyperbolic? Thoughts?
