Lil Yachty and Jpeg/Danny for me as far as mainstream goes. Don Toliver and Rae Sremmurd albums were meh.

DJ Drama put out good gym music and Tyler's release was technically a deluxe.

The kids are waiting for Travis Scott to drop!

 

03 Greedo is the only standout hip hop release for me so far this year - I did like Rae Sremmurd but it's not something I've really returned to

 

Nah, A LOT of great records have come out so far…

-Larry June/Alchemist
-Meyhen Lauren/Madlib/DJ Muggs

And let’s not forget billy woods is about to drop on AOTY contender tomorrow

 

new billy is gonna be so good yeah

I guess they're not exactly hip-hop but slowthai and Young Fathers are two of the best albums this year

 

also think Young Fathers doesn't really count as hip-hop but yeah that album is unreal.

 

i'll have to give some of these a listen. never heard of most of this list

 

Boldy tape is good too

 

Navy Blue

 

Navy Blue, Boldy, and Jehst are probably my genre top 3 right now. I don’t think it’s been a super dry year for hip hop or anything, but there’s not a lot that I’ve really found myself coming back to often

 

Creed 3 soundtrack has some cool stuff on it, it's basically just a Dreamville record

 

I was talking about mainstream rap specifically

 

pretty excited to hear this billy woods. also forgot Conway was dropping tonight, let's get it

 

Mainstream rap hasn't been good since 2001

 

That’s… an interesting take. Definitely don’t agree and think you may be alone in that.

 

Oh damn looks like a new Jidenna album dropped today. Hyped to listen to this.

 

The lead single, Blush, is awesome. Definitely excited to check this out

 

listening now and it's great, wavy, perfect for summer. honestly this feels like a more natural version of the sound yachty went for on his album, that tropi-psychedelic neosoul vibe. haven't heard much rapping yet, though, interestingly enough.

 

Beats on the Conway album are all over the place but it's fun so far

 

Tongue firmly in cheek haha. But I can probably name all the mainstream rap releases from the past 10/15 years I listen to regularly on one hand.

This could easily lead to a what’s and what’s not mainstream rap discussion again and I’m too tired for that again!

 

Excited to check this album out

 

Friend tagged me in a memory on Facebook involving "Bound 2" and it bummed me out so much. Been pretty easy for me to throw away most of my Kanye-related feelings/memories in lieu of everything, but this one got me, probably just because I miss those folks. Fortunately, we all discovered Kendrick together as well, so for the time being, I have that to be nostalgic about.

 

Man, new billy woods is amazing, as expected. Guy can't miss.
