Azealia Banks finally returns after a few years of little musical output. Over 30 minutes of sloppy techno/EDM production, she spits average at best verses and fails to even come close to the quality of Broke With Expensive Taste or Fantasea (two of my favorite hip hop projects of the decade). If I'm being honest, I can't say I'm surprised that this isn't good; since Anna Wintour and Treasure Island, two brilliant singles that compare to and even surpass what was on her older projects, I had ... read more

While it does just sound like Vic Mensa listened to Sum 41 and said "Yeah I could do that" this really isn't as bad as i thought it would be. 93Punx may be corny, unoriginal, not good, and a low point for Art everywhere, the album is also inoffensive and easy to avoid. I haven't heard the name Vic Mensa in like 2 years, so this is a very blatant clout stunt. Sometimes artists need to know when to stop.

I GOT TWO TWIN GLOCKS TURN YOU TO A DANSAAA

This is overhated, but as someone who got into Bans during the Money So Long days, Misunderstood is a respectable but unwelcome change in direction. Yung Bans has been a frustrating character in the rap game, whether because of his house arrest and subsequent legal limitations, or the online trolling and teasing songs that never release, he's given plenty of reasons for people to hate him. His ego got way too big, and the commercial failure of this album proves that people were not here for ... read more

If there's anything I've learned about KKB, its that they cannot be defined. Great new track.

I thought this kind of music died with tumblr... This sounds like Snail Mail took 50mg Prozac and stopped trying.

While I am not a fan of XXXtentacion and consider him a fucked up individual, he does not deserve to be graverobbed like this. I'm Fucking disgusted by the actions of his mother and his label, and I wish some of his so-called friends and collaborators would stand up for him. Look what happened to Lil Peep: his first posthumous release was a song with X, and knowing that Peep would never have done that when alive, his friends and family vehemently opposed the song's release and eventually ... read more

I think this is what older Tool sounded like to the people who hate on it for being pretentious and boring. This album bleeds pretension and is nothing new, just more of the same, from Tool. I hate to say it, but Tool just dropped some... mid.

EDIT: Video of the year.

Hope he continues on with the memphis rap inspired music because its fitting. I unfortunately do not have a good feeling about any upcoming projects from what i've heard in snippets and leaks.

TND being real tough on this huh

It was about time for some new Bones. Still not that consistent but the bangers fucking bang and thats what I came for.

Wow, 1000 followers. Thank you everyone for real. I appreciate you all and promise to continue spewing my opinions onto your feeds. <333

The Song is great. Funny lyrics, unique flows from Peggy along with a pretty solid singing performance. The production is as good as ever, a lot more subtle than other JPEGMAFIA songs though.

uknowhatimsayin? is already aoty

Got into Yung Bae and the future funk genre in 2016 when Bae2 dropped, and since then the genre has stagnated. This album is proof of that. By no means is it bad, its just another album of the expected future funk Bae has been making for half a decade.

Do not let this fly under your radar. Such A Refreshing take on funk rock, a genre that has not received much buzz in recent years. The vocals are the centerpiece of the album, coming from singer AJ Haynes (on the cover) ranging all over the place and sounding full of passion on every track. Don't let them distract you from the instrumentation though, which takes the listener on a funky trip to the intersection of digital production and studio instruments.

Dreams & You Make Loving Fun... oh my

I really can't believe I hadn't listened to this sooner. I mean, its only an essential album recommended by hundreds of critics and fans, and i've seen it posted all over everywhere. Definitely something I could've seen myself giving a perfect score a few years ago. Basically this is the best folk rock album that exists, and its up there in the best albums of the 70's.

After two albums that were not bad, but very saturated and mediocre, Lana Del Rey returns with a sophisticated and mature pop album. Her singing has never been better and the production is very engaging and layered. It doesn't have the immediate hits that Born To Die and Ultraviolence had, but Norman Fucking Rockwell is, across all 14 tracks, a consistent and very progressive album for Lana's musical aesthetics. Whoever tagged this as "psychedelic rock" and "folk rock" is ... read more

Daytona was easily my most listened to hip hop project of 2018. Incredible production from Mr. West and Pusha's best bars since the Clipse days. He exposed and destroyed the most popular rapper in music last year with The Story of Adidon shortly after the release of Daytona. And now with a Lauryn Hill track (and an incredible one at that) Push is giving us more reasons to consider him one of the best. Can't wait for this album.

Lol rappers gonna be saying "I want you to have the mixed and mastered version" when they mean "hey i wanna make money off this" no shame in that but cmon Pusha.

Yup, this new SRS-type abstract hip hop is one of the best new styles that rappers started using. Mike killed this album and shows that he is capable of rapping over anything. Reminds me a lot of The Caretaker mixed with Earl Sweatshirt.
