i'm not the least bit interested in turning this into a me-vs-perry thread. if you actually have an issue with me, dm me. there's lots of good music to discuss and we're doing everyone a disservice by distracting from that.

Saw that Earl Sweatshirt's album was on there. Good a--- pick.

No offense, and I liked the way you approached the Thug write up in general, but I kinda wanted more from that write up. but its all good, this isnt a piece on thug or anything

Jeff's future write up was incredible though smh

Also, Haley's Sreemlife write up confused me lmao


as far as finding new music from this list, Ty Money's Cinco De Money is fire!!

I think Shadow of Doubt is getting a bit overrated as well.

im still pissed @ myself for not having heard the billy woods project

 

Dec 21, 2015

I think it's really good but yeah it did seem a little high on here. Also, I've heard a lot of good things about The Good Fight surprised to see it so low. Kinda wanna check that out right now.

 

Dec 21, 2015

well not just it's placement on this list, but in general. Gibbs definitely made the move from a Pinata type project to Shadow of Doubt seem effortless, but some of the records on Shadow felt stale to me. Like it was emulation rather than genuine creativity

Stremmlife better than Compton?.. The Good Fight.. or Look What This World Did To Us?..

EDIT : & I just saw # 2 & # 1... yikes

sreemlife is almost flawless

You just said they don't exist, and now you're defining them :s

I learned about Saigon on that show after I fell in love with his first album.

Well I have. I checked it out once I saw the XXL freshman list last year, but you claiming I haven't kind of proves my point regarding how obscure this list is.

I would love to know the size of the demographic you're aiming for

And this is my point. You pick the most obscure albums so you can make the argument that those who challenge the validity of the list haven't heard most of it. I wouldn't be surprised if you haven't heard all of these yourself. You've probably only skimmed some of them. But talking about hiphop, to you, has always been about trying to prove you're more informed then other listeners. You're really just a walking, hipster caricature, to the point of parody.

no it definitely isn't..lol

Compton is almost flawless

but to each their own.. if you like it. that's cool

most of these are based off popularity not Quality

 

Dec 21, 2015

most of what? this top 50 list? that's just blatantly false lol. because if it was, then where are drake and kendrick?

 

Dec 21, 2015

but a lot of this list isnt even rap.

 

Dec 21, 2015

ok I correct myself.. Bias

Kendrick's album should definitely be in the top 20.. (at least) and Drake's?.. top 40

There's A LOT of great albums on this list, but placed wrong IMO.

but hey.. these are all opinions after all.. so

 

Dec 21, 2015

Would make a few changes, but overall good list. Was surprised TPAB wasn't on there, but to each his own.
There's a lot of albums on there that I haven't gotten around to hearing or heard of tbh. Need to get around to doing so at some point.

 

Dec 21, 2015

lol the notion that two people would "argue" when one of those people hasn't heard the album in question is absurd. why would anyone want to do that?

 

Dec 21, 2015

drakes project should be nowhere near this list. this is top 50 albums across all genres.

kendricks, im assuming, didn't make the cut for like the 25 or so rap albums on here

 

Dec 21, 2015

I don't understand.. IYRTITL is definitely worthy of a "honorable mention" (at least)

I respect everyone's opinion when it comes to their musical taste, s--- you got me into Thugger..but dang

 

Dec 21, 2015

i cant imagine drake being that high up for people who've collectively heard 100s of albums spanning multiple genres this year lol

 

Dec 21, 2015

I give you that... I've only heard about 40 albums this year.. and my list would look different

but that's because I only listen to people who interest me..sooo I guess it's their job.. maybe if this were a top 100?

I'm curious as to what your top 50 would look like
