Hip-Hop Thread [ARCHIVED] Genre • Page 1000

I believe the 72-hour thing was already known. The GarageBand and the $100 mic is new info, tho.

 

Drill Music In Zion is my favorite rap album of the year by a pretty large margin. Production's incredible and the jazz influences throughout are so welcome to what I like from him. Love that he locked in with really dense wordplay and the concepts are still there, but it's nowhere near as unwieldy as DROGAS WAVE, which I struggle to get through due to length.

 

The WESTSIDE BOOGIE record from last week is really good too. Took me a minute to get to that one.

Favorite Rap Albums of the Mid-Year:
Lupe Fiasco - DRILL MUSIC IN ZION
Pusha T - It's Almost Dry
Saba - Few Good Things
Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See The Future
Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
Conway The Machine - God Don't Make Mistakes
WESTSIDE BOOGIE - MORE BLACK SUPERHEROES

Haven't Heard Yet
redveil - learn 2 swim
E L U C I D - I Told Bessie
IDK - Simple.

 

I think Denzel, Saba and Lupe are my top 3. Conway and Benny albums are really great but I don't really listen to them in full. not a fan of that Kendrick at all

 

Earl, Saba, redveil, Vince, Billy Woods, Elucid, Quelle Chris, and Father have my favorites from this year so far

 

Saba, Denzel, Conway the Machine, and Benny the Butcher. I still need to catch up with more though.

 

tobi lou, redveil, Saba, Earl, Ivy Sole, and Che Noir all wound up on my mid-year list. Quelle Chris always has my attention too. Bummed that I’ve been kinda missing signals with some of the really hyped ones like Dave East, Benny, and Conway — apparently been in a mostly melodic mood this year haha. Tana 4 does have that incredible opener though

 

This song is one of the reasons why Cam is top 5 dead or alive

 

Finally got to the Lupe and yup, it's fucking amazing. The perfect length, and I have no idea how he still comes up with all of these new insanely original topics or approaches to subjects like he does

It's kind of crazy that an album this fucking good is maybe his fifth best album imo. He is easily one of the best rappers of all time

 

Benny
Conway
Kendrick
Push
Earl

Still need to listen to Billy Woods, Elucid, and apparently, Lupe.

 

That's probably where I am at with this. It's great, but no way does it touch F&L, Cool, T&Y or Drogas Wave.

 

In a kind of order…

Earl Sweatshirt - Sick!
Billy Woods - Aethiopes
Fly Anakin - Frank
Quelle Chris - DEATHFAME
Action Bronson -COCODRILLO TURBO
Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers
Wilma Vritra - Grotto

Also good stuff from E L U C I D, Curren$y and The Alchemist, Benny The Butcher, Linqua Franqa and probably more.

Conway and Benny are my two favorite hip hop albums of the year so far.

Also I really like the Future record (which just like his last album, I'm probably the only one)

 

Some random dude on TikTok just reminded me how good this song was that Andre 3k verse

 

Watching the Freddie Gibbs farmer movie

 

Aka low ticket sales?

 

$500 for that meanwhile Coachella is like $600 with a diverse lineup is crazy

golden voice been taking some heavy L’s lately

 

I was reading that people think This Ain't A Picnic is selling poorly as well

 

I’m going to that. Hoping it still happens!

 

Where I Belong, the Joey Badass single, is really good

 

I just looked at the site and yeah if they doing deals like no fees to try and get tickets gone than yikes golden voice stay taking L’s
