>>69928180
not OP but...
it is not only extremely well-produced but also carries a unique sound that 99% of 90s rappers trying to increase their longevity would just utterly fail to capture. I couldn't say it feel like they haven't missed a step because both Beats Rhymes and Life as well as The Love Movement were fucking dreadful, but Q-Tip's solo output has been surprisingly good so I can give him credit. It's a very timely album, and as far as rap goes 2016 was pretty abysmal with too much experimentation from some mainstream artists and too much mainstream attention grabbing from less known artists so seeing a classic group like Tribe release a groovy and vibrant album among the wake of the dceased Phife Dawg was just so fucking dope.
I am a big Tribe fan and after my first couple listens i wasn't too impressed but I had to get out of the mindset that i was getting a Midnight Marauder's sequel

>>69928320

>>69928423
>carries a unique sound that 99% of 90s rappers fail to capture
I did get that vibe from it. It's very 90s in terms of how the beats work and the production, which is very solid. I agree. I was never too big a fan of 90s hip hop in general so maybe that's why I'm a bit put off about it. But they do that style well, I will give them that.

I'm a massive metal head but I've always had a soft spot for old school hip hop. I've been on a binge recently, but I've never really gotten into the new stuff other than a few things. How massively different is 2010s hip hop from 90s hip hop?

TLOP will go down as one of Kanye's best and most experimental, uu is Kendrick's amnesiac

How do people have this opinion, apart from a few tracks it was by and large, trash.

>>69930507
Actually none of it was trash outside of a few lyrics here and there.

>>69930507
>apart from a few tracks it was by and large, trash.

How do people have this opinion?
highlights was the only weak track, and the high points of the album more than make up for it. FML, ultralight beam, and real friends are some of the greatest tracks releaed this year. Even some of the bonus tracks like NMPLA are better than anything off Floss

>>69924567
Free 6lack

>>69930618
Not denying that there were some great tracks, I loved NMPLA, Ultralight Beam, FML, Waves and Real Friends. But there was just way too much filler, too many tracks that didn't introduce any new ideas or topics and if they did, it was half-assed. If it was cut down from 20 to 12 solid tracks it would have been far better.

I'm not really a fan of the direction hip hop went in 2016. It's seems like most rappers now are some type of homosexual political scientist social activist autotuned warble mumbler over trap or "experimental" beats.

I liked YG's album, can anyone recommend some more "traditional" hip hop releases that flew a bit under the radar this year?

Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh just stop, it was a botched release where he let other people have massive influence over the tracklisting and lyrics. This wasn't a well groomed project from the Genius of Kanye this was a loosely put together poorly planned (proven by the release date pushed back twice and title changes and tidal failure) project. His worst next to 808s.
