Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered.
84

It's crazy how looked overlooked this album is, it's just a shorter, less complete version of To Pimp A Butterfly.

Baby Keem - Ca$ino
84

This album took too long to release, one of Keem's best so far. Nothing new but a strong track list with great features.

Kanye West - Late Registration
94

Great overall album, some of Kanye's best production. The darker atmosphere works amazingly, and some of the songs are some of Kanye's best.

Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon: The End Of Day
92

The album has an amazing melodic sound, easily Kid Cudi's best album. A few skips, but an extremely well-constructed and unique album nonetheless. Cudi Zone is top the Cudi IMO.

85

This song is really underrated, both Kanye and The Game both had great verses.

Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp a Butterfly
93

Not much to be said about about this album, one of the best concepts and performances of any rap album ever; the album's only slightly weak point is replay value. Kendrick's second best album IMO, I prefer GKMC as an album.

76

An overlooked album, much better than its successor. More coherent and slightly less bloated than other recent Kanye albums, though still not a great album.

Kanye West - Donda
78

Despite being significantly bloated (the pt 2 tracks could have easily been left off the album, and many of the tracks' runtimes feel excessive), Donda has its hits and is a good album overall. It feels like some people unfortunately just group this and the less enjoyable Donda 2 together.

Kanye West - New God Flow
90

Prime Pusha T and Kanye on a good beat, this song is great.

80

Really good beat, sounds like something off of Yeezus or MBDTF, though DJ Khaled did NOT help the song.

Kanye West, Prynce Cy Hi & Teyana Taylor - Christmas in Harlem
80

Fun Christmas song, nothing special, feels like it was purely made for commercial success. Still a good song.

Tyler, The Creator - Flower Boy
88

Flower Boy had unique production that, while occasionally feeling awkward, was balanced by strong lyricism and a refreshing, fun vibe with deeper layers of emotion.

Kanye West - White Dress
90

A fun sample paired with good lyrics, a pretty underrated song.

Kanye West - BULLY
80

Notes: The best Kanye album since KSG; the first half almost feels like a modern remix of Yeezus. Unfortunately, the album feels as bloated as other recent Kanye releases, with almost the entire second half and a handful from the first feeling unfinished.

Kanye West - JESUS IS KING
68

While Jesus Is King has a few standout tracks, the majority of the album consists of unfinished and basic songs that lack any creative depth.

KIDS SEE GHOSTS - KIDS SEE GHOSTS
85

Both Kid Cudi and Kanye are amazing on this album, which has a unique futuristic sound to it. The album's shorter length works well for it, giving it a compact and contained feel, though it doesn't have enough songs to justify a higher rating. Some of the songs are short enough to feel like they could use another verse.

J. Cole - The Fall-Off
84

J. Cole’s discography ends on a high note with this album. It feels consistent throughout and maintains its energy and flow between songs, though it can feel bloated at times, with some songs dragging on for a while.

J. Cole - Neighbors
95

An amazing display of J. Cole’s storytelling ability, while offering insight to black American culture.

86

While the album feels scattered in places, it still feels coherent and cohesive in its own right. Relatively overrated IMO, definitely not top five Kanye, definitely has its stronger and weaker points; still a great album overall. The last half dozen songs are great.

Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem - Forever
95

Prime Kanye, Drake, and Eminem on a fire beat, and they didn’t disappoint. Wayne’s verse is a little stale IMO, and the song can feel like it was made to just be popular at points, but still a banger.
