Barter 6 so good it gets two spots? YT tha god
Sorry you missed when I put it above DBR, or when it clicked for me, or when I gave reasons for why. Only thing working against Rodeo really is that the lows like Piss On Your Grave are REALLY low. Also it's still not as good as Owl Pharoah.
I'll accept Summertime '06 above Rodeo if people prefer the production or content but Summertime kind of drags at points and is too long. Summertime doesn't have the extreme lows of Rodeo but it's full of more meh/okay songs.
Nah, Game is never as forced as this, and he could carry a vibe through a verse on multiple tracks on any other album of his without overdosing on west coast jargon something something 6-4.
lolwut, Jesus Piece isn't close to a shining gem of anything, doesn't come close to DA or Documentary. Plus if anyone listened to that album more than once then they know the second half of that drags too.
Game isn't a punchline or introspective guy either so... more wat? Weird expectations/assessment, he's more a light storytelling/picture painting slash aggressive vibe kind of guy (which, is also not present at ALL on Doc 2). Monsters In My Head, Dreams, Dead People, Start From Scratch, that's dude's style in his purest. Obviously he's not Nas tier at storytelling but he's most definitely not in the punchline or conscious introspection lane.

Definitely in my top projects this year I put DS2 over it because it has the best elements of all three mixtapes he dropped.
I did. It starts off real strong like fazoland Herbo but then kinda falls into trash by the end of it. Breh needs a positive influence in his music life or something
Monster was 2014.
Semi-related, listening to my Future greatest hits itunes playlist to some housework, forgot how hype this track is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CB0gNT4-tIE

Will prob change a lot as the year goes on, especially the second half:
1. Rodeo
2. Summertime '06
3. DS2
4. Fetty Wap
5. Cruel Intentions (does this count? It's really in the middle in terms of R&B and hip-hop, also really short, but IMO it got hip-hop all through it)
6. Dark Sky Paradise
7. ALLA
8. To Pimp A Butterfly
9. Barter 6
10. If You're Reading This Its Too Late
GAF-Hop AotY pretty much a lock for #1 TPAB, #2 DS2. It's all about who's taking Bronze and it can go a few ways I think.

A lot of people in here enjoy that album more than anything else that he's put out since Documentary.
I'll give you the punchline bit, but I didn't really call him introspective; saying it's weird to expect something different by him makes me wonder if you're content to hear more of his one dimensional hypermasculine, aggressive gangster shit that he's been on for 10+ years. It gets tiring. I don't expect him to redefine himself or anything, but his songwriting is just as awful.
Fetty Wap's album was decent, but it may have one of my favorite tracks of the year.
it might end up rather high on my list. it's maybe 1 or 2 joints out of 20 that i don't like.
Again is probably my favourite Fetty song that wasn't a single beforehand. And that song literally rehashes half of Trap Queen. Still fire.
Game puts out a lot of music, it's inevitable a lot of it gets left in the dust. What makes this different from a California Republic or OKE (which are both better than this too) is that this is a full album release and the gap between releases for him has been a bit longer than usual too. Fam loaded up the clip to shoot blanks.
Eh, I have no problem with this lane inherently, because when he gets it right he gets it right, and it's not like you necessarily have to wait multiple releases for that to happen. Chiraq to LA was one of the best verses all last year.

Thanks for reminding me, this album slipped off my list somehow as the releases began piling up and I've been trying to remember what the album I was forgetting was.

Tetsuo & Youth/Pharaoh Height EP
Days With Yen Lo
Summertime '06
Black Dollar
Israeli Salad
Grandeur
Deeply Rooted
I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside
Sour Soul
Black Market should be dope but my cynicism believes Dollar will end up being better since it's most likely the leftovers/uncleared songs. B4.Da.$$, Pilot Talk 3, and Words Paint Pictures are great runners up.

Newsom's album is out next week.
Check out that Oneohtrix album if you haven't already. It's actually out in November.

man i don't recall The Chronic referencing apartheid as much as it did...huh
My list for rap would be as follows:
1) To Pimp a Butterfly
2) Summertime '06
3) Dirty Sprite 2
4) I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside
5) Pilot Talk 3
6) 56 Nights
7) 32 Zel/Planet Shrooms
8) Today, I Wrote Nothing
Biggest Disappointments:
Mr. Wonderful
Social Experiment? If it counts for a Chance album.
That's about it for now. Those top 3 are pretty much locked unless somebody absolutely crushes the building. Special albums. I don't have 10 yet, but there are still a lot of albums I need to catch up on.
As for other genres I've loved:
Natalie Prass - Self Titled
Shlohmo - Dark Red
Julia Holter - Have You In My Wilderness
Sufjan Stevens - Carrie and Lowell
Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
Tame Impala - Currents
Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion
Chelsea Wolfe - Abyss
Jessica Pratt - On Your Own Love Again
Braids - Deep In The Iris
Collecting my thoughts on Torres (Sprinter) and Beach House (Depression Cherry) still.
Haven't listened to Bjork, (newer) Beach House, Deerhunter, Sleater Kinney, Protomartyr, Deafhaven, Oneohtrix, or the Neon Indian. Newsom and Arca still coming too.
