I can't express to you how excited I am that De La Soul's music is finally out from under the thumb of the industry and back into the spotlight for a generation of young hip hop fans to experience. I'm fairly confident I've relistened to 3 Feet High and Rising about four times since the streaming rights allowed for their music to be heard outside of YouTube compilations of tracks, rare physical copies, and I don't know maybe an oldhead humming the tunes. I haven't lost interest yet and promise ... read more

I think I speak for everyone when I say... Damn Peggy.
Fully recognizing how hyperbolic this is, SCARING THE HOES may be one of the best things to ever happen to experimental/abstract hip hop. Danny Brown and JPEGMAFIA are already modern legends of the last decade from their individual work so there was no mystery that the two would have more than enough talent to put together a fun collaborative project. That's not even scratching the surface - Brown and JPEG aren't just complimentary ... read more
Everything Kali Uchis has done on this album is at bare minimum marginally more gorgeous than everything any of us have ever done. Sleek doesn't even begin to describe Red Moon in Venus - the gloss on this thing could blind a family of four. Uchis puts the soul in neo-soul; these aren't fabricated like fool's gold, if take a bite of any of these tracks and they'll crack your teeth in half with the amount of sincerity in the emotions communicated. Wow! Cool!
Favorite track - I Wish you Roses
King Krule hasn't released an album since 2020 so I have to like something.
Sorry, I don't know how to do this anymore. I like the change up here. The last album had some fun elements to it but, quite frankly, I didn't come back to them much. UGLY definitely feels like something I can come back to later as a full project. Neat! Wow!
Favorite Track - UGLY
Dance Daughters.
God I should do more than that, listen I'm rusty, it's good shut up.
Favorite track - Donkey Show
Aesop Rock may not be experiencing a career renaissance in the public eye, his most recognizable songs still being relegated to his 2000's material on Def Jux, but the underground legend is certainly performing like he's in the midst of one.
After El-P's label closed its doors Aesop Rock went on a five year hiatus before releasing Skelethon, then took another four year hiatus (outside of singles) before The Impossible Kid. Over the last three years, though, Aesop has been busier than ever, ... read more

Well I found you from your Aesop Rock and El-P reviews a while ago, and I agree with pretty much all those takes. Your reviews are beautifully written as well, and your love for the music really shows in them

I just wanted to say that I aspire to have the level of eloquency you show in each review. Perfectly balancing between talking about the context in which each project was made, and talking about it in depth, focusing in lyrics and production at equal parts. Simply brilliant! Kudos!

Hi, I am making a community list and if you're interested in contributing I would appreciate your input. I have been interested to execute this research for a while so I hope to get as many responses as possible. You just have to answer a simple question: Do you use light mode or dark mode on the AOTY site? You can also give an explanation on why you use either one. Thanks a lot if you decide to answer!

So at first I said "well I only listened to 170 albums so far this year, can I really do a top 100?"
The answer is yes, who cares I can do what I want. Eat it.
But also tell me what you ...

I hate that I'm doing this, but I guess it's time to take all the elephants in various rooms and see if I can fit them all here.
If you find any albums that fit the bill, first scream into the ...
