Dear /mu/,
I am becoming a big fan of Future and Young Thug. If you are a fan of either, please post your favourite featuring one of them.
Thanks,

>Mixtape of the year: Free Crack 3
Eh, bit of a let down. 'Bottom Of The Bottom' off Lil Herb's new mixtape was a stronger track than that entire mixtape put together, but his mixtape was slightly lacking overall though.

This album was such a huge upgrade of his previous work. Shocked at how little attention it has gotten.

>>60744619
wow I'm retarded
>>60744597
>>60744619
if you're talking about Discretion is Trust then you're very wrong, it's his worst album
it starts off ok and then quickly becomes half formed ideas and throwaways
>>60741547
I gave this a chance but couldn't even finish the album. Not for me at all.

this (Also the thread we had on this album a few weeks back was really good. Lots of good discussion.)
great year for hip-hop though
>>60741611
gonna be honest, this felt like the album equivalent of a wet fart.
They went and built up so much energy with those hype tracks at the start (the first four, specifically), and then it just died out after Friday, and never got traction back.

I downloaded this yesterday and I'm intent on sitting through it all eventually.
>>60743077
This was surprisingly good, not AOTY for me but worth checking out at the very least.
>>60745730
Muh nigga Oddisee is so good
production wise he's flawless but lyrically he's a slightly worse el-p, hopefully he'll differentiate himself as an MC
>>60741552
This is my number one. Lupe, Earl, and Vince were close though. Too many good albums this year Its so hard to decide.
>>60741593
or
>>60742180
No idea how that happened but I just happened to enjoy these two albums the most this year.
TPAB or Populair
>>60742732
solid, beat me to it
>>60741314
Anything but this is ridiculous.
I've liked a handful of others though, including Czarface, TPAB, Busdriver and Leikeli47.
>>60745257
why's that? did you find it cheesy/ corny?
>>60745734
I agree
after the first few tracks it felt like this was something really special, and that it would be AOTY, and then it completely fizzles out (except Everybody Knows is alright)
>>60741611
>listening to first track
>damn this is nice
>suddenly, "it would be extremely painful....FOR YOU"

oh shit, wow this thread is mad helpful, i haven't found anything good for the longest time, thanks op
why is hip-hop featuring live instrumentation so fucking based?

2015 has been a really bad year for hip hop overall
pic is probably my favorite
>inb4 grime isn't hip hop
this DESU
>>60750616
This is leaps and bounds better than all of the meme rap that was released this year.
Definitely the best hip-hop album of 2015 thus far.
>>60750616
funny. i was debating between posting this one and jme and i decided to go with jme.
this one is great as well though. along with the lordmaster dj sk instrumental tape
>>60750222
>pic is probably my favorite
..Is this a bait? Seriously it's your favourite?
>>60748902
Y-you have a live band play over GK's rapping every time you listen to Sour Soul? How often do you listen to it?
>>60748652
Decent album, has some weak points tho IMO. Vince's style gets tiresome after a while.
>>60748496
This is old
>>60741616
This is mine as well, wish it was longer though. That production is just next level. The rapping is a bit lackluster though.
>>60741314
Slime Season is fucking dope, maybe even better than Barter 6 IMO. Both are mix tapes tho so don't really count..
>>60750643
very true desu
>>60750727
>Seriously it's your favourite?
yeah. why don't you like it?
>>60750789
It's just a very lukewarm effort.
And frankly it's completely banal compared to a lot of what is happening in hip hop right now.
When it comes to putting out new and game-changing LPs grime artists have a lot of catching up to do. Feel free to prove me wrong (I wouldn't say no to a good rec or two) but I very much doubt that you're going to be showing me anything special from this year if that is the best foot you can put forward.
And I'm not an American so don't be throwing any corny excuses like " you just don't get it" at me. I don't want to hate grime, but when it comes to LPs that push experimentation it is lacking. Facts.
>>60750914
well first of all you didn't make a single legitimate critique in that entire post. i asked what you don't like about it.
second of all
>it's completely banal compared to a lot of what is happening in hip hop right now.
you can't say something like this without backing it up. how is it banal? as opposed to what?
it's a beautifully produced record. every beat hits hard as hell (without relying on the dishearteningly overused trap cliches). the lyrics mean nothing, but the majority of rap lyrics mean nothing. his flow is tight as hell. no loosy goosy lazy flow. that shit cracks like a whip. everything is clean and calculated
>>60741267
Drill Time was better than everything in this thread
>>60750975
>you didn't make a single legitimate critique in that entire post. i asked what you don't like about it.
It was a brief post, sure, but I very obviously critiqued it:
It is emblematic of a sub-genre that is stagnant and boring compared to its American equivalent. How is this not a critique?
And I think it's amusing that you think yourself in a position to comment on the quality of a critique when you are throwing out complete gems of critical thinking like "no loosy goosy lazy flow".
He can't come close to the lyrical ability of Lupe, he can't come close to the flow of Thugga, if you were to try then to disregard all that and instead try to pitch him as a more staid and tradition technician in his craft then he doesn't come close to Freddie Gibbs either.
And that isn't even addressing the uninspired song-writing itself. Nothing going on structurally that is new or interesting. Nothing in the way of novel or interesting beats. Nothing.
What this man does is done elsewhere and better again and again. By examples cited in this very same thread no less. He is a bore.
>>60751106
>the lyrical ability of Lupe
this is the biggest myth of 2015
>>60750222
i dropped like as soon as i heard a charlie bit my finger sample

Yeah, okay. And Kool Keith was just a guy who was really random and stuff.
Fuck off, kid. You're a little pleb.
>>60745734
Nah. I thought it was amazing. Fuck ya desu.
>>60751207
kool keith is a legend
loopy fiasco is a pretentious lyrical myrical spiritual metaphysical hack
>>60751243
Eh, I'm not going to go to bat that hard for Lupe because I'm not a huge fan to begin with. I only cited him to further highlight what a lyrical turd JME is.
>>60751356
>what a lyrical turd JME is.
that i can agree with, even when compared against grime mcs he is bottom of the barrel
>rodeo wasn't posted yet

fuck off
Czarface 3 soon please
>>60753573
I'm not even that guy but fuck you, cunt. Flockaveli 1.5 is solid as fuck.
My top 5 would be
1. TPAB
2. Czarface
3. So the flies don't come
4. B4.Da.$$
5. Flockaveli 1.5

Hell yeah dude, glad someone else listened to this. I saw him live when he opened for Run The Jewels on the Jewel Runner tour. Shit blew my mind to play this music live with an actual band
>>60748652
God I love this album. The beats are incredible. Definitely my AOTY
>>60751106
american hip hop culture today is absolute dogshit. it's where corporate interest is and this becomes extremely obvious when you look at the trash that's being praised like drake, future, lupe and young thug. even kendrick is overhyped commercialist trash. he did a song with taylor swift ffs. american hip hop culture has become a hollow shell of it's former self. it's all about selling out and making money. and since p4k praises it you guys all pretend to love it. it's really sickening.
the key to good hip hop today isn't to pretend to be a thug like the OGs while you're signed to virgin records stacking millions and letting corporate businessmen write your music for you. the key is to be progressive and to try to do something different with the same formula.
dean blunt hit the nail right on the head here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyzE5QH_x2I
>>60760309
the commercial popularity of american hip hop culture is also why you see white pop artists appropriating black hip hop culture as well. it's because it's what sells. and you assholes are all falling for it
>inb4 but conscious hip hop is making statements against appropriating black culture.
it's still rappers like kendrick who are rich off their asses pretending to be gangsters
TPAB, but pic related is climbing the ranks
Also loved these:
>>60748652

And about half of Eat Pray Thug was great
>>60760563
Milo doesn't have the replayability of Czarface.
Even though it is a good contender for hiphop AOTY, it doesn't have that need to go back and listen to it again.
Same problem with TPAB tbqhfam
>>60751207
Lol you are the kid, come on, lupe is a joke who has way too much ambition compared to what he puts out
ALLA
>>60760686
I still need to listen to Czarface, so I can't speak on its replayability, but I've been playing Milo's album nonstop for the past couple of weeks. An Encyclopedia and Going No Place are absolute gold.
at least like 3 of you have good taste
>>60741314
AOTDSF
ALLA, TPAB, Tetsuo and Youth, or Shadow of a Doubt.
>>60760309
>>60760450
this desu
>>60743197
this one no doubt
Can't believe none of you niggas posted this masterpiece
>>60760563
That album is probably the best thing he's ever put out under the Milo name but the new Scallops Hotel record blows it out of the water.

Travis Scott - Rodeo, obvs man
>>60741616
coming off first listen of this
literally what I've been looking for in rap music for like 5 years
other producers and rappers have circled around this but nobody has gotten the blend quite right for me.
>>60764966

About to check it out tonight, thanks

Wow I was surprised to see so much Earl love. But this and tPaB fo sho
>>60744632
Discretion is Trust is absolute trash. Quite literally every other album, ep, or single Cities Aviv made is better than anything on DiT.
Black Pleasure and Come to Life are GOAT.
>>60764070
It's okay, definitely worth getting, but I don't consider it top 10 of this year.
Underrated as fuck.
Shame nobody talks about it on here
