Post will probably have the best album of the three which is hilarious

 

naw ab soul is going to have the best one imo

 

Cole gets points for a managable length at least at 45 min, Ab is at an hour 20 which is so long

 

Album has to be long when you recite the Bible, Steve

 

I'd honestly listen to Kanye rap the bible, is that bad?

 

This new Charles Hamilton is so good.

 

I think I fell asleep listening to the J Cole album lol

 

80 minutes of ab soul??? no fucking thank you

 

I almost checked out the Ab Soul album but it's not on Spotify for me... Probably a good thing. I hate bad release days.

 

I filtered the Hip Hop and R&B out of my end of the year list (including honorable mentions).

The Reks album is a double album with a million tracks so proceed with caution

 

I did last night.

bounce ft. wayne
good drank ft. gucci and quavo
diamonds talking back
day party
doors open ft. future
big amount ft. drake
MFN right
watch out
gotta lotta ft. wayne
various guest appearances

also, good critic and twitter follow al shipley made a bunch of "best of" comps for future, thug, boosie, gucci, and chainz https://t.co/6GVfy3A19b

 

Daniel Son is really good, I've never really cared for either of the BOATS albums.

Wave Gods is great too, and for all I hear about him not being able to put together a cohesive, non-bloated project, it feels concise, with very minimal filler.

Vince Staples is awesome but I don't care for much of his production selection on Prima Donna at least

Hodgy's Solo Debut Album Has Arrived

So so far today we have Cole, Ab-Soul, Charles Hamilton, Hodgy and Post Malone I guess. What a weird day.

 

I agree with that

 

Haven't listened to him since a few tapes after Sonic the Hamilton. It's nice to hear good things about him. I always thought he had plenty of potential,but his mental health wasn't under control for awhile.

 

pitchfork now writing backhanded headlines for BNTs like this

"For a Rap Song, Kodie Shane and Lil Yachty’s “Sad” Is Disarmingly Vulnerable"

 

like they've ignored the last decade of rap turning into sadboy art

 

Lol Jesus they're awful.

Great song tho
