8bit or wayward or whoever the year's not over yet
it doesn't fucking matter the year was over when Frank Ocean lied to us about his album coming out this year, that motherfucker are you fucking serious Frank. Seriously. You had one job. You're not hanging out with Odd Future, you have the fucking time.
There's an Erykah Badu mixtape next week, but I already know that's going to be good and I'm only counting albums anyways, I can't count mixtapes because there are as many mixtapes as there are tears I had for this shitty year, hip hop or not.
you sure you're not just having a bad year
I looked at my list, I checked it twice, call me santa motherfucker it doesn't matter how much of a soul-sucking year it was, hippity hoppity was still bad.
are you gonna bitch or will you just give us the good stuff
SURE there's not that much anyways
TETSUO AND YOUTH Lupe Fiasco is pretty much the only artist that still tries to tie hiphop to the poetry it was meant to be. You can listen to a 9:00 minute track and not get tired of it. He flows and shit. It's good. I dunno, who gives a fuck anyways we only talk about hiphop in the context of ZOMG BANGERS at this point. look at T&Y sales and you'll see what I fucking mean.
hey what about Earl Sweatshirt's album
Earl Sweatshirt's shitty album is for people who think they know what industrial sound is and for sad white people. I'm not a sad white person, I'm a sad dark dude and sad dark dudes are not fucking interested in listening to this coconut-head looking motherfucker mrabmrabamraba into a microphone for 29 minutes (see, i listened to the album...once)
Mr. Wonderful?
Action Bronson is the Adult Swim of hiphop. Not the cool-ass anime and R&M side, the weird-ass Metapocalypse side. Album was okay at best.
LUDAVERSAL was actually pretty good, the guy's almost 40 and his flow's pretty much on point. and we all know 40 year olds are worthless, riiiiight? Harken's back to the late 90s/early aughts of hiphop. Also, Southern hiphop. It's not dead, thanks K.R.I.T (you'll get your chance I promise bruh)
SPECIAL EFFECTS as usual Tech N9NE (CHAH) had too many fucking songs on his album, if he just cut the fucking fluff we'd have a solid album. Too many tracks makes this okay at best, but considering how LOW my standards have to be for this year it's probably one of the best albums this year, even if Hood Go Crazy was mass produced on a fucking conveyor belt for the White Frat College crowd.
BUSH was good because Stevie Wonder is on it and knows exactly what it's doing, which is making music for the summer. My mom jammed out to it so you know it's good.
SURF was good but people bitch about it because Chance decided that he wanted to do something different.
Meek Mill's album would have been good but he just had one of the weakest beefs ever so I'm not even putting it on the list or giving you its name. Fucking disgrace.
90059 was good. Black Hippy should do more shit together.
GO:OD AM was good if your favorite rapper is Childish Gambino and you listen to REAL hiphop not that drugs money and hoes bullshit. You'd carry the CD around but your Backpack is already too fucking heavy.
That's it.
What, you're already done?
Yes it was a shitty fucking year for hiphop and I barely listened to it. My favorite album of 2015 was Run the Jewels 2. Fucking, AGAIN. We fucked up somewhere this year, everything I was hyped for was either pushed back, ended up being shit, or was a mixtape. Pathetic. Just listen to the Undertale soundtrack instead. That shit is fuckin amazing, I'm listening to it right now and probably will again before the day is over.
But what about To Pim-
How about I pimp slap you with the back of my fucking hand. Bye.
^me irl What did you think of Wale and Bada$$' projects?GO:OD AM was good if your favorite rapper is Childish Gambino and you listen to REAL hiphop not that drugs money and hoes bullshit. You'd carry the CD around but your Backpack is already too fucking heavy.
Where would you put Death Grips on your list? Or not at all?
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ILYS THINK OF THE CHILDREN 8BIT
I've yet to see anyone who isn't Justin Broderick or Dalek to do the industrial/hip-hop fusion thing without failing hard at one or the other. Well, that Saul Williams track from the Year Zero remix album was alright, but to my knowledge he's never done anything else like it.Earl Sweatshirt's shitty album is for people who think they know what industrial sound is and for sad white people.
