Sit the fuck down, with that generic weak sauce lyrical miracle bullshit.

>>66434697
Haven't heard all of imperial yet but I think its okay from what I have heard. Denzel has potential. Try Underground Underdog by Pouya. Its pretty good.

Such a big improvement over Krazy life
Here's my (HH)AOTY
>>66434697
Joey Purp-iiiDrops was a better mixtape
>>66435676
Not a hip-hop album
>>66436093
And my hip hop mixtape of the year
>>66436127
Expected from a mr. thesaurus fan
>>66436154
Then could you guess that this was my number 2?
We ran up some digits we ran up some money

Yeah, that people would treat others the way they want to be treated. Because if they don't things aren't going to go good for them. That I promise.
>>66436073
same HHAOTY unless you count Wildflower
>>66435705

What is this?
>>66436430
yg
>>66436396
Random as fuck that youd post this. I listen to this shti all the time.
>>66436475
Pretty fire. Sad to hear stuff like this but it reflects the life of people. I wouldn't want to be this guy though.
>>66436475
What's your favorite track?
>>66436569
not him but Twist My Fingaz pretty easily
>>66434697
yep, the new YG.
>favorite 2 albums of the year are riff raff and yg
10/10 good shit
I know this is old school but does anyone know of any other hiphop/rap songs that follow this certain tempo?

Well this is getting old, but the message is really groundbreaking for this genre. I wish I would of listened to it sooner, now my brain is messed up from smoking weed when I was too young. I've given it up entirely, but I know that's not for everybody.
"Some of those brain abnormalities have been linked to cognitive differences. Gruber found that regular, heavy marijuana users — those who reported smoking five of the last seven days, and more than 2,500 times in their lives — had damage to their brains' white matter, which helps enable communication among neurons. Those white matter changes were correlated with higher impulsivity, she found, particularly in people who began smoking before age 16 "
http://www.apa.org/monitor/2015/11/marijuana-brain.aspx
>>66436105
It has hip hop and rap in it, 75% of the album.
>>66436800
Although, I gotta say Hopsin's not very sensitive to his audience and it turns them off I'd imagine. Not everything he says is true, but there is some truth to what he's saying.
>>66435769
Explain.
>>66436587
Beat on this is amazing,.
Is there a flowchart or a good place to get start with madlib besides madvillian and quasimoto?
>>66436629
>>66436640
lol i don't know anything like it but i remember when i first heard this song or this group at all i was on a trip with my gf and her dad played this in the car on the way there
was a comfy ride
>>66436939
a lot more where that came from on the LP
>>66437008
im interested in responses to this too. i just picked up the further adventures of lord quas instrumentals and i'm obsessed with it.

DANK
>>66434697
Honestly, Denzel Curry is damn good
>>66437407
>like a better travis scott
they aren't even similar tho. if anything, he sounds like deniro farrar
Elzhi - Lead Poison
ScHoolboy Q - Blank Face LP
Denzel Curry - Imperial
KAYTRANADA - 99.9%
Young Thug - SS3
Best so far
whats the name of the rap album with the guy floating in a water pool on the cover?
the title is like "water _____" or something
>>66437937
That Elzhi record is pretty forgettable
Blank Face is a 7 at best
Imperial is also a 7
Kaytranada is too samey, probably a 6
>SS3
Have you listened to any other hip hop this year lmao
>>66438024
Oh ait, got it
Mick Jenkins - The Water[s]
1. Denzel Curry - Imperial
2. Kendrick Lamar - Untitled Unmastered
3. YG - Still Brazy
4. Schoolboy Q - Blank Face
5. Lil Uzi Vert - Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World
6. Lil Yachty - Lil Boat
7. Domo Genesis - Genesis
>>66434697
Yes
Actually really getting into Vince Staples lately he's got some solid shit. This album is actually pretty good aswell.
Also Casey Veggies.
>>66437407
Thanks for putting me on
Listening now
All hip hop sounds the same to me famalam
What's some recent hip hop that's not that braggadocios trap influenced stuff. I haven't bothered keeping track of major releases because there's no point.
I've also listened to stuff my brother listens to (Yo Gotti, Logic, Future, Young Dolph I think)
Pic related is everything I have from this year (Kaytranada is missing but that was another nothingburger)
BP is obviously AOTY
>>66435705
>>66436073
>>66436127
Great taste.
>>66438271
It was one of my aoty's last year.
\Oh shit we still have these? Anyway I want to know what are some good projects that have come out in the past couple of months that I should listen to. I already got Blankface, and Clams' album.
>>66438271
I love this album a lot. I also love anything Kilo was on for her vocals.
>>66436587
>>66436569
Gimme Got Shot or Don't Come to LA for me.
What are we all hyped for?
Danny Brown and Pusha here.
>>66438282
>All hip hop sounds the same to me
>Yo Gotti, Logic, Future, Young Dolph
You'll probably like BBNG, Chance, and Kendrick. Drake is obviously not what you want, and you'd most likely despise Thug. You should give TLOP a try, or Kanye in general if you've never listened to him. I haven't listened to the other albums.
What are some of the most underrated releases that most people wouldn't have heard of? I'm looking for something new.
>>66436903
watch his xxl fresstyle
Can anyone explain to me the appeal of this album? Is it a meme or are the people on this board hearing something that I'm not hearing?
>>66438430
Thugger in general isn't that amazing. I liked SS3 but man the lyrical content is trash. It's just catchy really.
>>66436800
D I D T H E M A N W H O I N V E N T E D C O L L L E G E G O T O C O L L E G E ?
>>66438361
I was surprised by how much I liked Acid Rain, but his new mixtape doesn't do anything for me
Same with TLOP, except Ultralight Beam was really good
I think I could listen to an album of negro spirituals in hip-hop form but most artists seem not to stick with that
Constantly Hating by Young Thug was fine but I got tired of everything else real quick. Maybe I'm just incapable of listening to entire hip-hop albums in one sitting
I'm coming from like a shoegaze/ noise/ambient/emo/post-rock-ish background so much of hip-hop I really can't get into, and it doesn't seem worth getting into. Especially with cuck-core like Kendrick Lamar being the gold standard. I used to be into Tyler, the Creator and A Tribe Called Quest though so maybe one day it'll happen again.
>>66438506
>cuck-core like Kendrick Lamar
Jesus, fucking neck yourself you insufferable underaged child.
>>66438535
Not an argument
What's wrong with that statement? I've pretty much only seen nu-males, Fantano, and bulls listening to Kendrick.
>>66438581
>cuck-core
This isn't a genre, it's not a valid criticism either. Use of the word cuck in general makes you look like a child. You made it even worse by adding in words like "nu males" and "bulls".
>>66438430
Barter 6 is amazing.
>>66434697
Why does no one ever mention this?
I know this isn't fully hiphop but I'm enjoying this.
>>66438703
People forget about the older rappers. How is it?
>>66437008
i wish there was a flow chart. Shades of Blue is a classic. The Medicine Show (?) series is pretty good as well. Then the Beat Konducta and the Rock Konducta series. Everything else is good but not too memorable in my opinion.
>>66436173
this wasn't a good release

Favorites of the year in no order

>Konnichiwa (it's listed as uk hip hop on RYM)
>EVOL
>Blank Face LP
>Imperial
Why has east coast been so shit this year?
>>66443327
Didn't really like Bottomless Pit desu
Current HHAOTYSF.
JEFFERY will be AOTY though
>>66443479
You have two east coast two west coast on your list...
>>66436362
>>66442917
1>2>3, naturally.
JEFFERY will be his best project. That 50 sec snippet from his IG is the best thing ive heard all summer
>>66443539
Are you fucking dumb or? Still Brazy and Blank Face LP are west coast, Imperial and EVOL are south and Konnichiwa is from the fucking UK.
>>66443583
Imperial and EVOL are both east coast you fucking mong
>>66443608

Are you guys seriously fucking denying that Florida and FUCKING ATLANTA goes under southern hip hop? I don't even care if it's bait I'm fucking triggered
Imperial was wack, n64 was better. this is still Currys best verse

>>66438282
give this a go, its deM atlaS rapping over some MF DOOM beats from the special herbs and spices albums
https://soundcloud.com/rhymesayers/sets/mf-dem
i liked it a lot, it was a breath of fresh air from all the current "just having fun with it" trap banger artist that are popular at the moment. i'm not saying that type of hip hop is bad or anything, just not feeling it like i use too
Why wasn't bladee in XXL baka people still sleep on him
>>66443977
he sucks
>>66438337

>>66438337
I didn't have much hope for danny's new album after the shitty edm inspired songs on old, but the single is great

>no spiders in my fruit Drinking cider from Peru
It just shows how close minded the community still is, they can't accept vulnerability unless the artist is gay
https://youtu.be/miMP5SQ_JQA
>>66436127
looks good, I'll check it out
How come nobody ever talks about this?
>>66435676
Not as hip hop as the rest of the albums submitted here, but one of the better projects this year definitely.
>>66438727
This nigga has 3 good songs and can't actually sing, autotune carrying his whole career
>>66445064
Well it did come out in '95, and this thread's for this year. But ya, it's a great album
>>66438581
how do people use "cuck" and "bull" unironically? what the fuck
>>66443028
>I'm off the top like o ren ishii vs uma thurman
>>66443206
Really? Why do you like it? I thought New English was complete shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3j8ecF8Wt4E
I fucking love this track. This guy's come out of nowhere he's probably an industry plant but I don't even care it's so catchy.
>>66447476
nice
>>66442917
I agree 100%. B6 is up there with 1 for me, but nothing really good came out of SS3/I'm Up
kek no one gave a shit about q's album when it came out but now after the pitchfork review everyone's saying it's aoty
>>66438177
No love for Aesop?
>>66449124
i hate how reviews change people's minds so much, i was hype for Q's new album, loved it when it dropped
just wait for for the blankthony facetano review and watch people change up their minds again
either way, i thought blank face was dope
>>66435676
Anderson paak is much more generic sounding than Denzel Curry. I enjoy his music but his songs are basically textbook modern funk songs with pop appeal and pop song structure. it's fun but nothing incredibly special and definitely nothing very different

Well this thread is probably shit
Anyone listen to this? Still on my first listen but I like it. Vince's song and skull (I think, the one with the chick in it) were my favorites do far.
>>66449661
I feel bad for hip-hop fans when an album as shit as TLOP is in their top 10, even if it's only been half the year. Like really, there haven't even been 10 albums this year better than that? What a shit genre.
>>66438271
Vince Staples bout to blow up
Calling it
>>66449968
that's 2-3 posts per poster, it's called discussion faggot
>>66449661
You can fit all that in your backpack?
>>66449999
It's been a really bad year for rap imo.
>>66449661
>Nyck Caution #1
dude I like PRo Era but youre fucking delusional
>>66450026
Not really some people drive by posted I bet there's op and some other faggot spewing his shit opinions no one cares about in like 10 posts
>>66449993
its pretty dope, though i find myself listening to the instrumentals more than the songs with vocals
love the lil b tracks though
>>66438271
Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2 is one of my favorite mixtapes, its so dope
>>66450111
you're a special kind of retard, have you never been in a general before?
>>66449661
Is the Nyck Caution tape really that good?
>>66450498
It's good, but I wouldn't putit that high on a list.
>>66450135
I like that he included the instrumentals
>>66450498
Idk I loved it man. Obviously not everyone agrees with me putting it number one but I think its really good.
Give this song a listen. One of my favorites off the tape.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnroopuU2LQ
>>66450498
No it's fucking not. Nyck has talent but does not even step into a top 10 of this year
>>66437407
that's some generic meme-boi shit right there
musicaly it's inferior to travis by far
>>66443028
it's just hype music what are you crying about
glad rap isn't completly nigger-poetics t.b.h

i have heard 0 positive things about this
the cover is kind of cool i guess

2. YG - Still Brazy
1. http://eloquentmark.tumblr.com/post/147278590025/the-best-rap-album-of-2016-eloquentmaaaaaark
>RYM still doesn't have a midwest hip hop genre
What happened to /hhg/?
>>66447408
>>66451405
It's not that good but it's nowhere near as bad as people are making it out to be
a lot of the tracks are unfinished and just finish unexpectedly. there are a lot of really short tracks (like a minute long) and pointless interludes. also a bit all over the place stylistically. sometimes he sounds like a future clone, sometimes he doesn't. in one of the tracks he uses a completely different voice which is really weird, never would've guessed it was him rapping but his flow is actually really solid on it and it's a good track (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny1jOIZ5PTU). a few randoms feature on it, but one of them is actually pretty decent.
that being said, it's very heavy and energetic. it's like future on fucking coke. honestly works really well in a gym setting or something. bangers from front to back, doesn't really slow down, very in your face.
people are saying it's the worst thing ever but it's really not at all. there are some great tracks on it. overnight is pretty fucking great in my opinion.
pusha t rates the kid highly, i think he'll come thru with his actual album. looking forward to timmy turner too.
>>66451539
I'm not really sure. It started to be a thing around December of last year and we had threads hit bump limit multiple times a day. Then it slowly got less and less posts, and that one tripfag kept coming in and shitposting. Last time I saw one of these another tripfag just used it as a dumping ground for old and obscure hip hop links.
what is it with this guy?
>>66451855
was it kendrick=booty or BAYAR? i remember they were the trips i saw the most often ITT. i think BAYAR was worse, if i remember right he was straight off the boat from reddit and would just not stop making awful posts, each one worse than the last. truly, redditors are cancer.
>>66436800
>>66435705
it's between this, the denzel mixtape in the OP, and
>>66436073
this
might be leaning towards aesop
>>66451855
BOOTY wasn't a tripfag and he was liked by everyone. He probably has one of the best collections on /mu/ when it comes to underground hiphop and contributed a fuckton to the memphis rap archive.
Don't get him confused with Kendrick=booty, that faggot is cancer.
Heres to hoping he actually shows up one of these days.
>>66451964
Kendrick-booty was the faggot, I don't know about that other dude.
>>66452294
He didn't really bother anyone so I didn't mind him dumping links.
>>66451678
I like this, more interesting than what I've heard so far.
>I very seriously listen to D-Block. Because they're about discipline, dedication, determination, they're blue collar, and they don't make white people feel bad for being white, which pisses me off. Any time a rapper says something anti-white, just shut the fuck up dude. Who bought your album? Faggot. Put your fucking microphone down. White people built the rap industry. Fuck you. Hip hop is white. Money, where's the money come from? It comes from you whitey, cracker, it comes from me.
-- Artist, filmmaker, and Carnegie Mellon alumnus Sam Hyde
>>66453883
reminder that rapping was invented by white people
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=902G8widi00
4:43 to 5:16
There was once a time when black musicians would spend not hours, days, or months but decades practicing their instrument, honing their skill until they had attained such a degree of mastery that they could impulsively construct beautiful, original, and intricate melodies, harmonies, and rhythms through sheer instinct and imagination. They were fucking professionals who respected and perfected the craft, they were elites, and they didn't worry about bragging because everybody had no choice but to recognize their ability and talent
Now we have hip hop
what's /mu/'s opinion on Lil Uzi Vert?
>>66454716
only heard 1 song but he just sounded like a young thug clone
>>66454716
I think Rappers need to quit using the word
"Lil" in their names.
>>66438430
For the most part I found the album boring except for halftime which had an amazing flow int he last verse
New Dalek is beautiful
>>66454716
I think hes a less interesting version of Lil Yachty but he has potential
>>66434697
i just cant get in to denzel, he's so fucking boring to listen to
>>66434697
I genuinely believe Lil Yachty had a better album
>>66455123
He's really nothing like Thugger
Can't describe it, but they're definitely different
>>66455241
He's better than yachty imo
His songs are less hit-or-miss
>>66436073
O fuck hot opinion is here
jeez i thought lil yachty was just another meme rapper but i guess i'll have to give him an honest listen based on how people on this thread are hyping him
>>66436127
Alwasta is fantastic
>>66455342
Yachty is hit or miss but I feel like Yachty has higher highs and lower lows
>>66455387
thats the thing though, he is a meme rapper, but people like him, not a fan personally
to be honest, im not a fan of all of lil b's illegitimate children that are poppin right now
>>66454716
I like his music. Really fun and catchy. can't wait for his new mixtape.
