YoungBoy Never Broke Again - Still Flexin, Still Steppin
0

Youngboys whiney delivery gets really old really fast over basic production and subpar lyrics and no concepts for songs.

Action Bronson & The Alchemist - Lamb Over Rice
67

Great project from Action Bronson he hits you with his usually comedic and lyrics bars all over smooth Alchemist samples.

JAY-Z - 4:44
99

One of the best produced albums I have ever heard. Jay-Z's pen game is peak on this album which is his most introspective and somber album. Concise and consistent project with no skips. One of Hov's best projects and doing it in 2017 is crazy.

Westside Gunn - Peace "Fly" God
47

Not a bad project but is starting to get a little formulaic for Westside. Has a couple of good tracks but none of Gunns best work. Madlibs production is awesome however with Westsides crazy adlibs.

93PUNX - 93PUNX

Wasn't a Vic Mensa fan when he was just hip hop and this transition to punk rock is terrible. This album is unlistenable

JAY-Z - The Blueprint 3
54

Just sounds like Jay-Z's most uninspired project. Production is fine and Hov's bars aren't on the level you expect from a GOAT like him. This album does have a few very strong track standouts that boost its rating however.

The Roots - undun
85

One of the best most diverse and jazzy soundscapes on a hip hop album I have heard. Super soulful production as well which compliments Black Thoughts incredible verses well. As mentioned before Black Thought is one of the best lyricists around. Great overall listen.

Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
97

One of the best track lists ever put together, truly just hit after hit and some of the best production I have ever heard. Super memorable and enjoyable tracks, just an incredible album

Benny the Butcher - Tana Talk 4
82

Benny the Butcher makes another amazing track list of super raw and aggressive rhymes. The features and song concepts are amazing as well. It feels like a good mix of Bennys matured sound while still tapping into his grimy mix tape sound.

Brent Faiyaz - WASTELAND
67

Brents attempt at a concept album and he does well while still giving you super catchy melodies. His ballads of sex and drugs are super intense and backed up with his amazing voice. There is very few poor moments on this album and his writing has improved since F**k the World.

Conway the Machine - God Don't Make Mistakes
83

Some of Conways deepest and most introspective writing, the emotion he put into this is unmatched. You get super emotional cuts as well as some super grimy and raw Griselda soundscapes. Amazing listen

Denzel Curry - Melt My Eyez See Your Future
88

Denzels lyricism and pen game on this album is his best yet. Super futuristic production and Denzel always comes with super unique flows. Amazing concept that he executed well, which makes this a super consistent and easy listen

Kendrick Lamar - Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers
82

Another amazing Kendrick project with super deep and catchy songs. He executes on another amazing concept which makes him go even more introspective than he was on DAMN. An amazing listen and another gem Kendrick adds to his catalogue

Drake - Certified Lover Boy
43

On this album it doesn't sound like Drake is trying anymore. The album has a few bright spots on a couple of tracks but also has some of drakes worst writing. Way 2 Sexy is super corny and the pairing of Thug, Future and Drake together proves that it doesn't work.

Joey Bada$$ - 2000
75

Great follow up to 1999, super smooth and catchy flows and melodies. Amazing jazzy production that joey rides super well. The features were mostly good as well, only song I didn't downright like was the Chris Brown track. Overall awesome listen and stacks up well against other albums of the year

Mac Miller - I Love Life, Thank You
74

Easily Mac's most laid back and calm project. So many amazing songs to vibe out to, its one of his best mixtapes.

Gunna - WUNNA
37

The production on this album is done well and Gunna always flows well over bouncy trap drums, however all the subject matter is similar if not the same from track to track and that goes for Gunnas flows too. There isn't a particular bad song on this album because gunna sticks to the formula that works for him on every song which leads to a project that all blends together and sounds like one big Gunna song. Dollaz On My Head is fire though.

Metro Boomin - NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES
63

Metro Boomin does an amazing job sequencing and curating the tracks on this project, they all flow into one another and the pacing is incredible too. The content matter is sub par on most songs but No More is an incredible introspective banger. All the artist performances are well done as well. A lot of the songs are pretty formulaic for the trap sub genre but this is one of my favorite trap albums that has been released

Kanye West - Yeezus
69

Kanye's take on experimental hip hop and he does pretty well, lot of stand outs on the track list and this is easily Kanye's most braggadocios album. Excellent execution from a mainstream artist releasing experimental sounds. Some of the tracks I'm not huge fans sonically however

21 Savage - The Slaughter Tape
3

The only reason to listen to this project is to see how far 21 has come. Production is poor, mixing is bad and 21's lyrics, flow and delivery is even worse
