fazoland was good and free crack 2 wasn't bad

kevin gates has put out some great stuff this year and the new common and cormega albums were solid

Holy fuck I hope we never meet irl you piece of shit

>>51834286
My Krazy Life and Pinata were both great, probably better than any hip hop on your chart so far. You should also check out The Water[s] by Mick Jenkins, Hell Can Wait EP by Vince Staples, Cilvia Demo by Isaiah Rashad, If There's a Hell Below by Black Milk, Broke with Expensive Taste by Azealia Banks, Rich Gang: the Tour by Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan, and Ferg Forever by A$AP Ferg

I've also heard good things about the new PRhyme album and Ghostface album, both of which are streaming on NPR's website, but I haven't listened to them yet.

>Pinata
>Cilvia Demo
>My Krazy Life
>Under Pressure
>The Waters
>The Dark Comedy
>Southsiders
>...and then you shoot your cousin
>Mastermind
I'd put NOTM up there too, also I wouldn't exactly call FlyLo (at least You're Dead!) hip hop.

Also Gambino's new project wasn't even as good as YG or Rick Ross

>>51834596
I used to say the exact same shit until I started hanging with my white friends and forced me to listen to it time and time again, then it grew on me

Ratking - So It Goes


fucking incredible record, will become monumentally important

>>51834653
big Wu fan, just finished listening to it and it's really great. It really takes off about 5 songs in

>>51834286
Lmfao are you fucking with serious Gambino on there. Fucking trash bait

>>51834819

Thank you guys for making a clear and concise list for me
And thank you to everyone else that has contributed

I tried to like Pinata and Cilvia but I couldn't, and I'm not really into Vince Staples. but I'll give everything else a shot

>>51834766
It's been more than a year now and you guys still use "memecore" and "memerap"? I thought that'd be gone when I came back

>>51834838

Kauai was trash too. Get your white girl taste out of here fr

Perfect Hair by Busdriver
CLPPNG by clipping.
The Water[s] by Mick Jenkins
Niggas On The Moon by Death Grips
Hoop Life by Lil B

Weird that it hasn't been mentioned yet but
>Hail Mary Mallon - Bestiary

I'm surprised at how little people have talked about that one

>>51835109

It was kinda forgettable, especially for a record with Aesop Rock on it.

>>51835109
that's because wordvomit-core =/= hip-hop

c'mon loc, everyone knows that

>>51835236
You know, when people add creative lyricism to already good beats, it's generally seen as a good thing.

Or would you rather no hip-hop ever actually tried on that front?

>>51834754
i liked this a lot and haven't seen anyone mention it in raoty discussions. not that it is the raoty, but it's still cool

>>51835378
...yes

>flying lotus
>hip hop

Just because he's black doesn't mean it's hip-hop you moron.

>>51835404
Same guy

Qbert, Damu, L'Orange, Great Dane, Millenium Jazz, Madlibs Pinata Beats

>>51834674
>Perfect Hair
>Peace Kehd
>If Theres A Hell Below
>Both Migos tapes
>Is This Art?

>WORD OK
>Young Thugga Mane La Flare
>Banco

not a perfect year but definitely some good releases

>>51834980

Yea i was wondering why no ones mentioned busdriver

>>51835486
not that anon, but i feel the same way

in the case of aesop rock, he uses cool words but rarely in a cool way. he's guilty of abusing the thesaurus and just doesn't get the musicality of words, favoring content over form. good instros on all the hail mary tho

>>51835506
>Pinata w/Freddie Gibbs Vocals
>AOTY
Upmost laughter

>>51835534
way to call em out m8 keepin ppl honest on /mu/ is hard work :^)

>>51835638
not the other anon, but I actually really like Aesop's take on lyricism. It's true that it can come off as forced at times, but when he nails it, the imagery he can come up with is really creative, and always gets me to smile.

I guess an example would be Grace. His lyricism really helps transform what would be an ordinary, everyday "eaiting veg" story into this battle of biblical proportions, and I can't help but smile at that. I don't think he's always trying to "just use big words" (though there are times when it sometimes looks like he's trying too hard) but rather trying to create an interesting new way to visualise the events being described.

"S-stop liking what I don't like!"
>>51835526
I don't think FlyLo is a hip-hop artist, but an album that he himself raps on and that features Kendrick and Snoop sounds kind of hip-hopish to me

>>51835579
>Black Hystori Project
>Cadillactica
>CLPPNG
>Faces
>HELP
>Lese Majesty
>Hell Can Wait
>These Days (listen to Control System first if you haven't already
>Neon Icon (it's a funny/joke album)
>Mega Philosophy
>PTSD
>Satellite Flight is a solid Cudi release

New Wu Tang has a few good tracks that's it.
36 Seasons is good though.

>>51835785
>Blink Twice if you are being held hostage
>I speak and spell of a sleeper cell in the hospice

this couplet is pretty cool. maybe he's a better poet than i gave him credit for, but this song still sucks dick.

i think he's better as a storyteller. No Regrets is a life story with an unlikely protagonist that made me think about rap in a new way. i don't listen to it much but i still think of it highly

wow we forgot to mention that Roots album that came out too. listening now and it sounds like i did myself an injustice not listening to this as much as some other shit

>>51836196
not calling it meme rap but that friggin song was the top meme of 2014

>>51834286

Is Pinata/NOTM/RTJ2/CLPPNG the "I only listen to three hip-hop albums a year" AOTY?
