Travi$ Scott - Days Before Rodeo - best rap release of 2014 so far?

So I asked for better albums, no one came with any. Apart from some Gucci mane and pee wee long way etc cheap mix tapes. Lol.

also i think you've gotten enough listening recommendations in this thread

I don't even like "Anaconda" but for some reason I want to spend like 40 posts in this thread making up reasons as to why it has saved music in 2014.

need to step your 'nuki game up

the ability to fell short mixtapes with a single LOL

I don't like this tape but I also am not a Nicki Minaj fan, non-hipster cred clearly intact

Still no albums posted....

because no one actually cares

RT, the fact that nobody cares about you except for making fun at your incoherent rambling and speculating about whether or not you're a sockpuppet, does not mean you're right.

Guys he just wants to tell you what you like sucks, why cant you play along

Ty Dolla $ign is a dude with a $ in his name that dropped a better tape than this, there ya go

hearing "It's a BIG E beat!" on one Owl Pharaoh track just reminds me of Wayne rapping "This is a Big E beat/And I'ma cook this bitch like piggy meat yeeeeaaahh" on Dedication 3. Underrated Wayne couplet

"this a," w/e

I just figured Tanukherb was gonna tell us what our fav albs were anyway

dude's STRAIGHT UP! adlibs just make me wanna listen to Future "Straight Up"

Still no albums posted....

his whole schtick is stolen. 'laflame' is gucci's 'laflare' except stupider. laflare is clearly a play on lefleur whereas laflame is just a bite

I listened to a new Toddy Tee album the other day! It wasn't that good but I'm glad Toddy is still out there doing it.

10 albums better than TS (I'm sure there's plenty more...) :

YG - My Krazy Life
A-Wax - Pullin' Strings
Beatking - GSM 2
Shy Glizzy - Young Jefe
Vince Staples - Shyne Coldchain Vol.2
Migos - No Label II
Travis Porter - Music Money Magnums 2
Mouse On Tha Track - Air Time
Common - Nobodys Smiling
Doughboyz Cashout - We Run The City 4

Shabazz Palaces, guys. Shabazz Palaces.

King Louie's "Tony," Lil Herb, HD's "Bad Habits," Kevin Gates "By Any Means Necessary," L'A Capone's "Separate Myself," Mick Jenkins' "The Waters"

this has turned into a pretty good thread. challops still have a place on ilx in 2014

hurt that ANU isnt repping for the new king l album

Isaiah Rashad – Cilvia Demo

haven't listened to a whole lot of rap albums this year but this would be my fav so far

It was a slow grower for me, but eventually I stopped thinking of it as a TDE release and it really started revealing itself

I don't think anybody would say this is a new golden age or anything, but there have been several lasting albums/mixtapes this year along with volumes of super lively mixtapes to bid the time between the real head turners. All in all a great time to be a rap fan; every week I feel spoiled

Excited to check out some of those sisilafami recs that I missed. Also gotta revisit the King L, I guess. The Future-ness of it really threw me off (which is odd, since that's not usually a deal breaker for me)

I don't think it's very Future-y at all.

thought the Travis Porter was a little boring give or take "Dope Boi"

Thug and Migos are getting to the point where they could be the next Future type guys radio loves that get used to get other artists a hit, definitely feels like what's being deliberately courted on this tape

Feels like this is true of Thug but not Migos. Have Migos even been on any hits other than their own shit?

Gibbs + Madlib
Step Brothers
Sweetz P mixtape
Saba mixtape

jeez rev does the phrase "getting to the point where they could be the next" need annotated evidence, i wasn't exactly making a bold definitive statement

i guess sleaford mods - divide & exit might be my fav rap album this year depending on how you define it

gene the southern child is good, not like super "impressive" or new but it dug into me a bit

best rap album this year is witch by gangsta boo & la chat

you just heard it yesterday

cmon he didn't actually have to hear it

tru

well do you actually want to talk about the album or...

hey i'm going to listen to gangsta boo

goth so far!

what's the name of the Gene the Southern Child tape/album?

gene the southern child/parallel thought - southern meridian :)

m@tt being very much in character is never not hilarious

lol it starts with an english chick singsonging about about "hail mary quite contrary how does your haaaytred grow/with skin of snake and rabbbit bait (??)" over minor key keyboards

"classic" lil' wyte guest verse on one song

"I rock out with my cock out/they jam out with they clam out"
