Cuban Linx defines mafioso rap.
Des you feel the infamous is mafioso? I wouldn't have put in that category personally

first he jacks the beat to T.R.O.Y., then he falls off a stage

Yeezus probably
Black Hystori Project. Maybe My Krazy Life or Metallic Butterfly since.
This year has sucked pretty bad overall. Even 2013's drought wasn't as bad, and we'd start seeing some bigger releases by now.

So how bout them Heatles?
Lykke Li and Lana records are both below average, and I finally played the htdw last night and...not to be a "his old sound was better" dude but his old sound was better. Face Again's good, A Power's good, Childhood Faith's alright. but not a song on here is grabbing me immediately the way several songs did on Total Loss and Love Remains despite the songs ostensibly being more pop-y. awno.
Right now the only rap records I have on my year list/collage/whatever are Pinata and Steppington and Fazoland. Tobacco's Ultima II Massage too if you wanna count it but his stuff's really not even instrumental hip hop anymore. just dirty electro psych.

Love the new Lana record but you guys could have probably guessed that (I'm a sad girl T-T). Couldn't get into the new HTDW. Sound wise I think he peaked with "Love Remains" album but I can understand the move to a more...corporeal sound (and I do like "Total Loss" a lot). This will forever be my favorite HTDW track.
Rap wise listening to Neon Icon and old Three 6 Mafia/Project Pat a lot. I'm always listening to Starlito. Popcaan album is fire too. A lot of instrumentals and electronic as well. A friend of mine just finished a 80s style disco/funk electronic album that's great and I did the art for that's dropping soon (I'll share it). A lot of footwork and UK stuff. A lot of Bones, especially his singy' stuff.

I think htdw's most cohesive album is Total Loss, but Love Remains definitely has some of his best overall tracks. Walking This Dumb jams. I couldn't choose Escape Before the Rain because that's one of those songs that feels shortchanged if you don't include the spectacular followup of Endless Rain.
def need a Jay Rock project. Looks like I'll probably be even more hungry for it after getting around to These Days

Haha this is great.
I agree. His old sound was better and with just about everything else except the hip-hop part. You don't have the Open Mike Eagle on your loved list? Ratking? WHAT??
Something something something...Bones
Lil B is aite because he's funny as hell and his style is original, but riff raff is trailer park irony hot garbage, he's the worst. I kinda hate him, to be honest. As a person maybe even.
They both pick pretty great beats though.
Didn't love the OME tbh.
Re: HTDW- Love Remains is still my fav too (best track is ready for the world)- BUT- I think P4k nailed it, when they said that as he's moved away from a rougher sound to a clearer sound, we've gotten a better handle on who Krell is. Which is cool, the music is actually becoming clearer as his persona unveils. I dunno, also not sure I'd be down for 3 albums in the vein of Love Remains.
Most stuff on the new album is super nice either way.
I really really like both of those but they just haven't gone over the edge to like 4-stars yet. one or two listens of either would prolly put them there.
Yeah I get why he's moved in this direction for sure, if he were still doing love remains stuff his hype'd be deceased. And intellectually I like him baring his soul on WITH, but it's not connecting with me at all

St. Vincent and Phantogram still have my AOTY, thus far.
shit, forgot St vincent dropped this year. haven't given phantogram a ton of spins, might need to revisit it.

Tinashe tho
Yeah these are my top two by a significant margin.
When I revisit Piñata now it honestly has the feel of a modern classic. I believe that in 10 years when we think of Madlib as an artist we will instantly think of Madvillainy & Piñata, featuring MF DOOM & Freddie Gibbs.
Also I listened These Days yesterday and Neon Icon today. The former was pretty bad. The latter is fucking rad.
