4. 2 Chains: Pretty girls like trap music
3. SZA: CTRL
2. Tyler the creator: Flowerboy
1. Kendrick Lamar: DAMN
All about replay value to me. Each album has its own direction and they’re all dope in their own way. Ik SZA is R&B, but holy shit the album was beautiful. Jidenna is underrated imo. Listen to Long live the chief and you’ll understand why I say that. The entire album was good. 2 Chains might seem out of place on here, but he delivered a great project. I was never a big 2 Chains fan but it caught my attention and it was great. I just related to Tyler the creators album in a way I can’t for most projects. Only reason why it’s 2 instead of 1 is cuz of replay value. Like yeah I can relate to what you’re saying, but I don’t want that to be what I listen to all the time. That’s why DAMN. Is first. I’m constantly playing it and I still catch onto new things. It’s a great project
Could you guys review SZA’ s CTRL?
_Big Fish Theory_
_The Autobiography_

As long as scum fuck flower boy is top 5 by the end of the year I’m good
Are y’all not counting Run the Jewels?
i totally agree with everything Myke said. I couldn’t get into Chill, Dummy on first listen, then it really clicked.
Im sorry but you all get L’s for snubbing Joey like that. AABA was better than that Oddisee album 4:44, and that new Freddie Gibbs tape from a lyrical, production, and overall message standpoint. Cant believe it didnt make on 1 of y’alls lists.
Where RTJ 3 tho?
No Run the Jewels 3?!
Smh
Hip hop is dead judging by this list lmao
So DAMN is on everyone’s list. Yall should group total at the end and include the camera man’s list
5. Nyck @ Knight
4. DAMN.
3. 4:44
2. All The Beauty In This Whole Life
1. Big Fish Theory
