Drake literally has nothing left to say. I think that's why he's stopped rapping and moved on to dancehall/pop stuff. The dude has the lyrical ability of 2015 Jay Z but it only took 5 years instead of 25.

pic is my top 5 so far this year but it's been pretty thin..

Turbo Grafx 16, Bad Vibes Forever (XXXTENTACION), Dreamchasers 4.5, You Will Regret (Ski Mask) and the new Kendrick album.

>>71738485
is xxxtentacion actually any good?

>>71738545
I think he's awesome and he quickly became my favorite new school rapper. He has a lot of different styles so I think most hip hop fans can find at least one song of his that they enjoy.

If you like pissed off rap, check out ImSippinTeaInYoHood, RIP Roach, Caution (just a snippet but still amazing) and Save Me.

If you like Bryson Tiller type RnB, check out I Don't Wanna Do This Anymore.

If you enjoy lyrical shit, check out Riot, Vice City, Skin and Let's Pretend We're Numb.

>>71738545

You guys are just mad cuz Egyptians weren't white. Even if they weren't 100% sub-saharan. they still weren't white. Greek took from Egyptians and even Greeks didn't fit in the nordicist view of whiteness and Romans took from greeks. Romans who ALSO were mediterraneans. you know like the italians that Americans say are not white?

>>71739346
I think that's because the only thing he has left to talk about is his ego, but it isn't particularly clever so it just comes off as lazy and uninspired most of the time, which in turn, is making him lose his status. Definitely not top 5 or top 2 no matter what he claims, since he barely raps anymore.

>>71739478
it is sad he might never release a full rap project. An album full of Do Not Disturbs, Am/PM, Lord Knows, Tuscan Leathers would be by far his most enjoyable.

>>71739551
I don't think he's capable of making a full album like that because he doesn't have enough content.

90s, 2000s, and 2010s hip hop have some pretty big differences. If someone wants to get into a specific decade they can explore the albums for that.

I didn't choose the albums. I didn't want Pablo there at all but people insisted on it.

What's the weakest album on the '16 list?
Theyre all pretty good imo.
Young Thug is a /mu/ staple
Coloring book is of the weaker ones as well as sun's tirade

>>71740691
!! Satan.

Would 1000x easily take out Injury Reserve or clipping. for Honor Killed the Samurai last year. Dude is one of the best lyricists in the game and has a unique style that no one else is doing.

>>71740622
What'd you change?

>>71740747
Sun's Tirade is greatness with all of his different voices and styles.

I feel like a fucking idiot as this sample is so recognisable to me but I can't place it for some reason

>>71740811
We already got 1 and 2.
People on here didn't like RTJ3 that much when I was doing the original chart.

>>71740769
Changes so far:

-Pablo and added Blankface
-Imperial and added Honor Killed the Samarai

>>71740526
80s hip-hop was about optimism and self-empowerment

90s hip-hop was about gangsta shit

2000s hip-hop was about wigger/backpack rap

2010s hip-hop is about neurotic artfag/fashion rappers like Kanye

>>71740827

I really think RTJ3 was the most of a grower out of the three. At first I thought it was their least but it's been growing on me a lot.

>>71740957
I'm willing to do swapouts and such.

>>71740918
But at the same time, each decade had variances as well, for example gangsta rap began to appear before the 80s were totally done. Most rap in the early 90s was about expressing anger over crime and police brutality, but by the late 90s it had switched more to glorifying the thug life.

Also the 2000s backpack rap fad didn't really apply so much in 07-08 after which the Kanye style of rap started to come in.

>>71732439
Anyone here fuck with Logic?
I'll concede that he can be pretty wack but seriously some of the beats he has are top notch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baATiZQplUY
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xqnqmB4QxE

>>71740918
2000s hip hop had backpack stuff like eyedea and atmostphere but most people don't know them. In popular culture it was more southern club stuff with lil jon, luda, nelly, and g-unit.

>>71740994
>Also the 2000s backpack rap fad didn't really apply so much in 07-08 after which the Kanye style of rap started to come in.

The last three years of a decade always bring a major musical shift.

Is it because he was too far ahead of his time?

WE

>>71741511
because his solo albums weren't as good as the others, but he makes Enter the Wu Tang the greatness that it is. I can't even imagine that album without him.

>>71741565
I hold the exact opposite opinion however. I appreciate the rawness of 36 Chambers and believe that Return to 36 Chambers the Dirty Version should be seen as an immediate follow up Vol.2 if you will.

Everyone misremembers OB4CL and Liquid Swords as being better than they actually were.

Went back to this and I still prefer Onyx when it comes to hardcore NY rap. It's a good record, but I've never been able to see the greatness in it.

>>71740918
early 90s was about gangster shit

late 90s to early 2000s was experimental

2003 up until 2007 had some little battle rap braggadocious bravado period

2007 was where the backpacker shit started

2009 to 2011 was the period of aping apes

2012 was just 2012

and that's where I hopped off

>>71741648
It was super influential over the entire east coast gangsta renaissance. It's like the missing link between Tribe and Gang Starr. And realizing it's more or less a Buckshot solo effort really makes made me respect him.

>>71741589
OB4CL spawned an entire subgenre of hip hop, and Liquid Swords is one of the GOATs.

>>71741873

labels like Def Jux and Rhymesayers blew up before that. By 2007 everyone was basically tired of the shit.

no it didn't dude kool G had been doing it long before that. This is exactly what I mean when I say that OB4CL gets remembered as more than it actually was. It was a great album showcase of Rae (possibly dependent on Ghost)
The same goes for Liquid Swords. They are all riding RZA's top notch production but that doesn't mean that every single track is a wu-banger.. because it isn't

>>71742302
this is true I guess. I don't really listen to those DJ Polo albums much, but they seemed more horrorcore than mafioso but i guess that's a difference in sound rather than content.

i concede, though i still think Liquid Swords is better than you say.

>>71742550
I didn't mean to come off as a hater or anything by the way I think that OB4CL and Liquid Swords are both great albums in their own right they just don't fit my personal criteria of a 10/10 "instant classic"

>>71742722

its cool
t b h the wu member shafted the hardest is Deck

http://www.rehabmusik.com/mike-will-made-ft-kendrick-lamar-gucci-mane-rae-sremmurd-perfect-pint

Mike Will Made It x Rae Sremmurd x Gucci x Kendrick

Decent track, instrumentals a bit weak. Kendrick kills his verse (may have indirected Drake as well) and Swae Lee continues to prove that he is the king of hooks.

>>71742794
really? I think he is one of the more underrated.. and I say that because IMO he is one of the better lyricists but didn't get the production backing he needed...

The MOST shafted I think is Baby Uey though, right? I wanna find the dude and see if he is doing okay he might be hungry

>>71742846
That's what i mean. an argument could be made for him being the best lyricist but he never got his solo dues because that damn flood.
