Never heard of a Tidal exclusive version, I'm listening to it on Spotify now. I'm feeling it, it's short n sweet, and it's always nice to hear a politically-charged tape.

Fucking hell, The Patriarch is terrific. That fucking intro man. Kill Yr. Idols. Big Tookie's hypnotic keyboards, Fears, that fucking beat and sample on My Life.
Deniro Farrar.....this guy is great. I need to listen to more of his albums, Datpiff has a ton of (free!) albums.
Also Koozek, check out this flames track with him and Curry.

It's good, it's just weird with you being kind of being behind and hyping a lot of these albums and rappers that were GAF-Hop darlings years ago. It's cool too, because now I'm curious what you'll discover next.

wow he took the chance leftover, took off smino and made it his single. lol
Also, Coloring Book or The Sun's Tirade for biggest disappointment of the year?

I need to listen to more Deniro Farrar it seems like....
Regardless though, I'm so glad that late 2015 was the year where my interest in Hip-Hop pretty much exploded, because I think I've listened to at least 200 rap albums this last year and, oh yeah, can pretty much follow along with rap when previously most rapping was a blur. I think the number of rap albums I knew of previously was like....around 40. And pretty much relegated to one or two sub-genres, and that's about it. For one I'm glad to see how great the genre is today. Fun times!
It's good to know that this thread has also shown me some great shit. For one, the Armand Hammer album that people discussed in here is something that I pretty much got from here, and it's one of the densest and rewarding rap albums I've heard. Glad that Gaf-Hop has been able to show listeners the great stuff that's out there.
Blank Face. Followed by Gambinos album.

Loyal fanbase is loyal.
Heard too many good things about this Cudi album lol.
Suns Tirade is great wtf
ooooh shit I totally forgot about this basura album
might have to change my vote to this. outside of psycho, let it bang, new level, and yammy gang, the album had some of the worst songs i had the displeasure of ever listening to.

if you put it like that, same can be said of TLOP
Lol well I'm saying Drake hyped the hell out of Views and it's didn't meet everyone's expectations.
It didn't have the aggressive sound of the previous 2 releases for sure.

definitely - i dug much of NWTS but the soft simp anthem with tight production formula was feeling stale, then that mixtape brought some of his old mixtape aggression back & i was hyped for views...which, following his album formula, pretty much ditched that, but instead we got faux-carribean shit (that the radio loved, to be fair) and more skippable tracks than usual
looking back im not quite sure what i expected from views or tlop, but neither stayed in my rotation for very long at all
neither. What is wrong with you?

Anyone who has Tidal should check out the video for Switching Lanes with Tip and Krit, its one of the better videos of the year, they make an overt reference to the Philando Castile murder and police brutality.

in our post-trump society ya'll gotta stop takin psycho's posts as literal
dudes like this start with that "2PAC WAS A SHITTY RAPPER" type fatherless cries for attention and only grow from there, they pretty much spend their days sacrificing golden cows
it's performance art, you're posed to front like you ain't got no cash and just keep walking to the bodega and hope you know another way back home so it's not too awkward

Yup this album is much needed with the buffoonish antics going. Im a little salty with old heads not stepping in to regulate on some the ignorant fuckshit thats been going on these last few months, Pete Rock's the only vet whose been consistently putting these knuckleheads on blast.

Not shitty but certainly nowhere near Jay.
IrishNinja

i mean - in terms of what though?
techincally speaking, yeah jay in his prime flowed all over pac, and his ear for beats was very clearly infinitely greater. if we're arguing sales, it's not even close. i guess influence is something but it never interests me.
growth as an artist is something, cause we've seen jay long enough to do just that - but i'd argue pac went further in less time, prolly due to life experience and a very different path. jay found tremendous success in a way that doesn't translate into something very exciting on wax, which is why shit like KC and especially BP3 suffered. you could argue Pac trying to stay relevant/hard past his era would too but then we'd be in hypotheticals.
if we had to go first 5 albums (including don killumati) it's pac no contest, cause jigga's not even at blueprint by then. if we're doing an average track played by either, it's like 5 albums vs what, a baker's dozen from jay? where half are misses - and i'm acknowledging how many skippable tracks pac had too. but if we're talking anywhere but the club & you're asking if i'd rather hear something from one or the other, i love both but i'm gonna pick pac.
