So... have there been any truly memorable rap albums/tapes this year at all? There has certainly been a steady churn of more or less enjoyable rap songs, but which albums/tapes are we going to look back at in five or ten years as defining 2019? (Megan and DaBaby's albums are fun enough I guess, but I'm not loving any of them with a passion.)
― human and working on getting beer (longneck), Tuesday, 3 December 2019 15:18 (four years ago) link
some rap albums i loved this year:
polo g - die a legendmaxo kream - brandon banksquando rondo - from the neighborhood to the streetsquelle chris - gunssada baby - bartier bountymavi - let the sun inbandgang lonnie bands - kodtree x vic spencer - nothing is something03 greedo x kenny beats - netflix & dealyoung thug - so much funrico nasty x kenny beats - anger managementpivot gang - you can't sit with usallblack x offset jim - 22nd waysdrego x beno - sorry for the get offrucci - tako's sonshootergang kony - second hand smokekey! - so emotionalgunna - drip or drown 2shy glizzy - covered n blood
― jacquees, full of cobras (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 December 2019 15:28 (four years ago) link
there were others that were admirable that didn't quite reach that level for me, like both dababy albums, stunna's 4x, nudy's sli'merre, sob x rbe's family not a group, denzel's zuu, ghostie's devour, and gibbs' bandana.
― jacquees, full of cobras (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 December 2019 15:29 (four years ago) link
also the quando rondo album is called 'from the neighborhood to the stage,' not 'streets'
― jacquees, full of cobras (voodoo chili), Tuesday, 3 December 2019 15:30 (four years ago) link
Thanks. I enjoyed the polo g, but it didn't stay with me. The thug album was okay, but probably his first release in a while that didn't on some level feel special. I've skimmed a few of the others, but will try to go back to them.

need to hear Mavi and Droog (and others)

I didn't do a particularly deep look at hip hop this year (so don't count my ballot whiney) but a quick flip through my keepers file suggests the 2019 rap albums or EPs (or 4 or more singles released instead of an album) that I liked came from:21 Savage2 Chainz8Ball and MJGA$AP FergAnderson.PaakBig KRITBlack MilkCity GirlsCommon MarketDaBabyDanny BrownDeNiro FarrarDevin the DudeDreezyE-40Earl (Still need to listen to this album more closely)Freddie GibbsFutureGhostfaceHaviah MightyHERIDKJ Cole (the year i finally gave up and kinda liked him)JIDKevin GatesMatt MartiansMaxo KreamMegan Thee StallionMurs and 9th WonderNef the PharoahPeewee LongwayQuelle ChrisRapsodySkeptaStormzyTree and Vic SpencerYelawolfYr Old DroogPlus Missy and Chance and T-Pain and Tyler and the Migos guys (via Quality Control and features) all had a few worthwhile singles on their respective albums and you can throw Lil Nas X in there if you want to. Oh and the Swindle album which was great. And a bunch of viral singles. Even so, I definitely need to play end of year catch up.

would be happy to discuss/defend any of those picks; several are ILM finds but a few haven't gotten any conversation on this board at all to the best of my awareness... Haviah Mighty for instance

fwiw 21's i am>i was came out right before christmas last year and has stuck with me as well as any other rap album has all yeartho my fave rap album of the year is almost certainly Maxo's. I gather it became a broadly accepted indie hipster fuxxxor fave as well based on pitchfork/youtube talking head love?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Tuesday, 3 December 2019 20:37 (four years ago) link
i think i would unreservedly love the polo g album if it weren't a little too long
