Logic does show off a bit of technicality, clever bars, and a likable personality on this record. The problem is that outside of his personality, there’s nothing about his music that’s truly unique or standout within this current era of hip-hop.

All three snapped, but this will ALWAYS be remembered for Kendrick calling out every popular rapper at the time. It’s truly one of the best hip-hop verses ever recorded.

Dope beat from No I.D., too

One of the most underrated hip-hop albums of the last 15 years. Raekwon dropped nearly 80 minutes of gritty street raps, topped with fantastic production from the likes of J Dilla, The Alchamest, and more. The original “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx” Is great for what it is, but sounds pretty outdated compared to more modern rap. I’d recommend listening to this one first.

You ain’t a real one if you never tried to call (281)330-8004.

NORTH MEMPHIS! NORTH MEMPHIS! NORTH MEMPHIS!

Good beats
Good rapping
AWFUL hooks and singing

It’s pretty bloated with it being a 2x LP, but great compilation of 90s Southern hip-hop.

I see the appeal in Peck: indie music with a country twang. The problem is that the production is mediocre and his vocals are really underwhelming. I truly see potential in what he’s doing, especially being signed to Columbia Records, but there’s going to need to be a sizeable jump in quality going forward.

Best Track: Drive Me, Crazy
Worst Track: Kids

The Tribe truly created jazz rap perfection. Easily one of the best hip-hop records ever.

S-O-U-L-J-A-B-O-Y-T-E-L-L-E-M We Ready!

One of the most underrated hip-hop records ever. Outkast hadn't found their unique style yet, but these songs are timeless!

Best Track: Funky Ride

This album has grown on me so much since it first came out. It’s not exactly “reinventing the wheel”, but these songs are so catchy and have tons of replay value.

Best Tracks: Tasteless, Friction

Not even a huge fan of his, but if this is truly Logic’s final record, there’s no better way I could’ve asked for him to go out.

This is powerful! What a great album of spoken word poetry on the issues of African Americans from the early 1970’s; the lyrics still resonate with blacks in the US to this day.

Killer Mike and El-P have SO much chemistry.

And just like that, we’ve got a new AOTY contender.

These beats sound like a mix between Pi'erre Bourne and something Earl would rap over. From a production standpoint, this EP truly impresses. Although the album has features from Mike, Medhane, and more, I'm not the biggest fan of the rapping on this project.

Best Track- Sine Metu

WHOLE LOTTA RED BETTER BE NEXT!

WTF ROLLING STONE?!!!

The most indifferent I've been on an album so far this year.
