Mr wonderful was a huge disappointment for me. All the singles pre release were the best songs off the album by far.

City Boy Blues to Easy Rider on Mr. Wonderful is still one of the best stretches on a project this year IMO. Psychedelic road trip dive bar rap. The only weak part of that album is the stupid overlong skit. I get people being disappointed with it cause he kinda went left, but I can't agree.
Man, what? Got near unanimous critical praise from the jump. Not to mention a lot of people here were on board. It grew on a lot of people. It's an experimental album, so that's expected. My love for it even grew tbh. One of those albums. Plenty will still hate it of course because it's a departure.wow, TPAB is cool now? what happened?
Told yall it needs more listens

You've heard the first two surely??I need to listen to this Pilot Talk 3.
Never paid attention to him to be honest. As they are on Spotify I'll give them a spin right now.You've heard the first two surely??
Haven't listened to Bjork, (newer) Beach House, Deerhunter, Sleater Kinney, Protomartyr, Deafhaven, Oneohtrix, or the Neon Indian. Newsom and Arca still coming too.
I touched on this elsewhere but I definitely feel like the odd man taste wise whenever people decide to list their top tens. I've always gotten the rap as the Bandcamp guy or guy that only likes an artist who maintains a certain level of obscurity. However, I've never found that to be accurate otherwise I wouldn't still be in love with TPAB or feel as though DS2 and now 56 Nights were pretty good albums. When I look at people's lists I feel as though there's a bigger bias with the average poster or just with hip hop listeners in general.
Of course exposure plays a big role in sort of inflating this bias, but in general people seem more more apt to give a hyped release repeat listens and second chances even if their initial assessment is largely negative. That's the conclusion I come to when I see lists containing major artist's third and fourth best albums taking up high spots in what is supposedly a strong year in rap.
If I'm being honest sometimes it is a bit discouraging for me to realize that I'm pretty much the only hyped to check out the breakthrough album by an up and coming, emerging artist. Maybe the rate in which I consume music makes me less complacent with what I see as a lesser effort by a previous favorite artist. I never tire of searching for the next big thing or finding that under dog artist who might not ever break but deserves the spotlight. People clown like it's a knock able trait, but the hunger I have for finding novel sounds doesn't seem like something in which I should be the lone ambassador. A few people seem like they're really going to check out shit that gets posted or finds it's way into rapup, but largely even the scant positive impressions and feedback the lower scale albums get never manifests into people's favorite album list in comparison to the big hyped releases.
I'm not really trying to whine just divulging how I see things. It's like why post shit, might as well wait for the Goldlinks of the world to get Drake cosigns so then you can talk about them.
fuck ranks and lists
.y'all are basic bitches and the kids on ktt know more bandcamp stuff than y'all do

This was confirmed fake.
I was about to say, whens the funeral for dudes main graphic artist. Only explanation.This was confirmed fake.
I'm not trying to point out anything shocking just making an observation, people are cool with posts spamming DS2 in stores, but I offer an opinion and share an honest outlook and it's a problem.

Step one make fun of the herbs on KTT, Step 2 respond like a herb on KTT, Step 3 fuck off.
Naw, it's not a problem. It just feels like a little bit like you're posturing and making it out to seem like the community is against you. I'm sure the grand majority respect your opinion regardless of whether or not those albums you mention get acknowledgment consistently.I'm not trying to point out anything shocking just making an observation, people are cool with posts spamming DS2 in stores, but I offer an opinion and share an honest outlook and it's a problem.
I'm not trying to come off as a victim. I don't know why people keep insinuating that... I also don't want to force my opinion on anyone. Just simply explaining my approach to music listening and my beef with being one of the Bandcamp guys and how I relate to thread generally.Naw, it's not a problem.

2. It's easy to forgot lesser known artists or artists you've only just started listening to. I made my list just skipping through my most played albums, but digging only a little deeper I came across something like Soul Glitch that probably deserves a spot. I simply forgot about it because it released during a stacked Q2 where a bunch of artists I've been listening to for years dropped good projects. I'm willing to bet this happens to everyone. You hear something new that's pretty great, go back to your dusty old reliables, and suddenly you've forgotten the great new project you listened to 3 times back to back a few months earlier.
I agree with this especially. Remember that Jazz Cartier album we all liked earlier this year? Not one mention in our top 10s.
