All I can think of right now. Would have never guessed a few months ago that I'd have Q on my list. Was never a big fan, but Blank Face is hitting just right.
Also bummed I can't put Drizzy at the top of this list. Stopped listening to Views after like 4 days and haven't had the urge to revisit it outside of a few tracks.

New Aesop is mine, obviously.
Though that new Q album will contend.

YG's album isn't bad but Blankface really puts its flaws in perspective. It's a very one note album music wise. Yes YG addresses a lot of issues from various perspectives which is good, but the production feels like a retread. There are a few amazing beats on the album, then you have some that are just whatever. There's also little funk or bounce to the album outside of Twist My Fingaz. The bass is synthy overall, making the other throwback sounds seem a little weird when mixed together. Overall this gives the album a very one-note sound gets old after awhile.
Whereas Blankface manages to experiment with a lot of different sounds successfully. You have some bounce on tracks like Neva Change, some Outkast type rock on the intro track, funk on the title track, some bangers (By Any Means, Dope Dealer), etc. Light jazz fingerprints throughout the album too. Not to mention Black Thoughts, one of my favorite tracks of the year. What a haunting, oddly cathartic track.
Blankface is what a summer album should be. There's shit for riding, shit when you're depressed, bangers for the car, and some lady tracks. I never liked Studio, it sounded like some shit a chick might listen to while masturbating. But I can fuck to Overtime.

Everyone has it in their top ten so I don't know what prompted you to even ask that...
Move on it was just a phase for you

Listened to quite a bit this year and there's quite a lot that I liked but wouldn't put nowhere near my AOTY material like TLOP, Imperial or Slime Season 3, or any of the Fewch tapes to name a few examples). There's 4 projects I enjoyed more than most other releases this year tho:
untitled unmastered - Kendrick Lamar
Blank Face LP - Schoolboy Q
Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World - Lil Uzi Vert
Skoobzilla - Trouble
untitled unmastered - Kendrick Lamar
Blank Face LP - Schoolboy Q
Lil Uzi Vert vs. The World - Lil Uzi Vert

this stretch & bobbito documentary was dope, wish i'dve heard more of their show in the day, damn
the souljah anthem right here
also see above
yeah this is one of those years i'm diving into other genres more, it happens
Life of Pablo is like that time i saw a trailer for spider-man in 2012 and was like oh when's that coming out
then i realized shit i saw it like a week or two before and totally forgot
that's what that album is...i don't hate it, it just doesn't resonate on any level
