Updated list forgot about Injury Reserve

 

And I forgot Isaiah god damnit

 

lots of great stuff this year but Little Simz, Genesis Owusu and Injury Reserve were the 3 I couldn't get out of my head, incredible albums

 

Yeah the new R.A.P. Ferreira Might be even better than PMP/Bob’s Son wow

 

tbh, I don't feel overly passionate about any of these records really, but I probably enjoyed these the most from what I've heard this year

1. Young Thug - Punk
2. Maxo Kream - Weight of the World
3. Boldy James - Bo Jackson
4. Backxwash- I LIE HERE BURIED WITH MY RINGS AND MY DRESSES
5. Baby Keem - The Melodic Blue
6. Isaiah Rashad - The House is Burning
7. Brockhampton - Roadrunner New Light New Machine
8. Tyler the Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost
9. Polo G - Hall of Fame
10. Armand Hammer - Haram

another 5
Rod Wave - Soulfly
Young Dolph & Key Glock - Dum and Dummer 2
Mach-Hommy - Pray For Haiti
McKinley Dixon - For My Mama and Anyone That Look Like Her
D Smoke - War & Wonders

 

honestly the IDK album might be my favorite hip hop release of the year, one of the few that really stuck with me

 

Tyler and Mach-Hommy were probably my favorites, none of the others really blew me away

 

1. R.A.P. Ferreira - Bob’s Son
2. Vince Staples - Vince Staples
3. Navy Blue - Navy’s Reprise
4. Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon - TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE
5. Czarface/MF DOOM - Super What?
6. Boldy James/The Alchemist - Bo Jackson
7. Evidence - Unlearning Vol. 1
8. Tanya Morgan - Don & Von
9. MIKE - Disco!
10. R.A.P. Ferreira - The Light Emitting Diamond Cutter Scriptures

Just barely missing the cut here are Wiki and Kenny Mason

Taking the @PauLo approach and sliding the second Ferreira record in the last slot, knowing that in time it’ll creep up the list. Haven’t had time to absorb it yet but it cant go without being acknowledged! On my main list I’m gonna just combine them, I know that’s cheating but w/e god ain’t looking

 

Oh damn I forgot about Young Thug and Baby Keem somehow

 

I still need to listen to the 2021 releases from:

RAP Ferreira
Mach-Hommy
Lloyd Banks
Polo G
Your Old Droog
Backxwash
MIKE
Pink Siifu
GRIP
Ka
Blu
99 Neighbors
Lute
Atmosphere
Big Boi & Sleepy Brown
Juice WRLD
Rick Ross

So I've got some fucking work ahead of me

 

Mine probably won't change over the next week so here it is

1. Mach-Hommy - Pray for Haiti
2. Wiki - Half God
3. Vince Staples - Vince Staples
4. MIKE - Disco!
5. Moor Mother - Black Encyclopedia of the Air
6. The Alchemist - Thing Thing of Ours 1 + 2
7. Tyler, the Creator - Call Me If You Get Lost
8. Armand Hammer & The Alchemist - Haram
9. Backxwash - I Lie Here Buried With My Rings and My Dresses
10. Baby Keem - The Melodic Blue

 

Man I guess I gotta return to Wiki. That was such a letdown for me

 

New Juice WRLD album is out. It’s a hard listen, but still great.

 

Couple good songs on the Big Boi/Sleepy Brown. “Return of the Dope Boi” brought me straight back to the early 2000’s, one of the best on there.

 

1. Moor Mother - Black Encyclopedia of the Air
2. Mach-Hommy - Pray For Haiti
3. Wiki - Half God
4. Armand Hammer - Haram
5. Udababy - Udababy
6. McKinley Dixon - For My Mama
7. Mike - Disco!
8. Mick Jenkins - Elephant in the Room
9. Maxo Kream - Weight of the World
10. Pink Siifu - Gumbo

11. Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be
12. RAP Ferreira - Bobs Son
13. Wiki - Telephonebooth
14. Navy Blue - Navy’s Reprise
15. Immortal Nightbody - Sublime Objects

 

Love seeing some Udababy love

 

I watched the lists of some of the people here go from mainstream to underground over the years, you guys are turning into old heads

 

New Earl and Armand Hammer... fucking love it.

 

We got 'em!

 

In all seriousness, I am surprised by the lack of the more melodic singy auto-tuned rap on the lists this year. Has there been a lull or are people not listening to it as much any more?

 

Personally that’s never really been my thing and was a big deterrent from me participating in the hip hop threads on AP and here in the early years. Polo G and Lil Uzi Vert were kind of anomalies for me and even then I got sick of them pretty quick

 

There’s a noticeable lack of that and of monotone trap (I use this phrase without meaning it in a bad way)

 

Monotone trap (non-derogatory)
