Hip-Hop Thread [ARCHIVED] Genre • Page 937

There are some I didn’t get to yet but maybe I’m just not going to listen to them until after the deadline

 

Trying to decide of Rod Wave is actually an R&B singer

 

Listening to Mach-Hommy rn...gotta sort out my top 10, but I have a feeling this one will be top 5. This is so good.

 

Celebrating 25 Years of Mobb Deep’s ‘Hell on Earth’

This is good

 

Listen to Mach-Hommy’s New Album Balens Cho

 

This might be a dumb question, but…
If you have two albums by the same artist on your end of year list, do you just put one of them to make room for other artists, or do you put both?

 

From NoName’s instagram story. Such a bummer. I don’t know her situation but I can’t imagine it’s that difficult to find creative producers willing to work with her. It’s not like there’s a shortage of experimental hip-hop artists these days. I wonder what’s actually going on that’s stopping progress.

 

Personally, it's two albums so it gets two spots

 

Yeah that’s a bummer about Noname. It does feel like she’s always has one foot out the door — there have been multiple occasions where she has said outright that she wanted to quit. But I did think we’d at least get a random single every now and then. Sucks to hear that night not be the case

 

Seriously though. She’s threatened to quit numerous times. She’s an unbelievable lyricist and truly underrated artist, makes little sense to me why producers aren’t lining up to give her what she needs—and if they are, then what’s the creative-block on her end? Pretty unclear.

 

For me, it depends on the quality of each. If there’s not much separating the albums, I’ll put them together on one entry. Probably won’t do it for our aggregate list though.

 

I've been really hoping Noname would come out with something new, especially after "Rainforest" dropped. if she doesn't feel comfortable doing stuff that's absolutely her perogative, but it's huge bummer that such a unique voice can't make it out there with all the shit that does. really hope she finds a producer and a groove sometime in the future

 

Had this recommended over the weekend, and been really enjoying it.

 

My top 10 of the year...

1. Armand Hammer/The Alchemist - Haram
2. Mach-Hommy - Pray For Haiti
3. R.A.P. Ferreira - bob's son
4. McKinley Dixon - For My Mama and Anyone Who Look Like Her
5. Boldy James/The Alchemist - Bo Jackson
6. Evidence - Unlearning, Vol. 1
7. Moor Mother - Black Encyclopedia of the Air
8. Ka - A Martyr's Reward
9. MIKE - Disco!
10. R.A.P. Ferreira - The Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures

yungmorpheus x 3, wiki x 2, Navy Blue, pink siifu and Injury Reserve just missing out

 

Also, if his other two under this current name are anything to go by, that most recent R.A.P. Ferreira album may end up sneaking up my final overall AOTY list in the coming weeks. Maybe the recent Mach-Hommy too, but as it's just 8 proper tracks long, it feels more like an addendum to Pray for Haiti than a full album.

 

Yeah, I normally don’t lend very much attention to super late in the year releases in regards to my AOTY lists, especially surprise ones, but The Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures is really fucking that system up

 

Will definitely be looking for recommendations, because the hip-hop albums on my list are currently all men and relatively biggish names. Vince, Navy Blue, slowthai, Brockhampton, Zack Fox, Tyler, Armand Hammer, Boldy James, MIKE, and Czarface/MF DOOM.

 

To me, the new R.A.P. Ferreira is better than his earlier release this year.

 

1) Armand Hammer- Haram
2) Polo G- Hall of Fame
3) Mach-Hommy- Pray for Haiti
4) R.A.P. Ferreira- Bob’s Son
5) Wiki- Telephonebooth/ Half God
6) Vince Staples- s/t
7) Boldy James/The Alchemist- Bo Jackson
8) Brockhampton- Roadrunner

 

I can't rank this fast, I'm just about to start relistening to everything and there's still a ton of stuff I haven't heard

 

Yeah I still have too much stuff on my list that I want to get to that I haven't yet to confidently rank yet
