The most grand Lil Wayne album in his catalog. Some monumental moments all over this like the 3 track run to begin the album, or Kanye's production on Let The Beat Build, or even the smash hit Lollipop.
A great project from Don. One of the best melodic rappers in the game, that has the potential to do a lot with his career.
The perfect RnB Rap crossover. Her vocal change is crazy, while having a high level storytelling ability.
This is the right way to do a double album. All Eyez on Me is packed with versatility, delivering everything fans expect from Tupac—raw emotion, storytelling, and classic West Coast bangers.
With highlights like “Ambitionz As A Ridah,” arguably the best song of the ’90s, the album balances gritty street anthems with introspective moments. To have only one skip on a sprawling 27-track project is nothing short of wild.
A super smooth lyrical project, with nice fts. from SZA and Kendrick. Top 10 album of 2016
A great display of JID's insane abilities on the mic. One of the best flows in the genre, along with his amazing voice.

For being a "compilation" label album with like 4 artists 7 songs just wasn't enough. And for just 7 songs it didn't feel put together well. Like 3-4 great songs on here, but disappointing considering Travis Scott & Don Toliver are heavily involved.
Another posthumous release that feels very respectful to Jarad's legacy. Many flaws that prevent this from being his best work, but many great moments. The tracklist could have been trimmed down a bit to around 12-13 songs. I also wished his team could've switched up the feel of this one from LND a bit more. Everyone knows how extensive Juice's vault is, so including more upbeat rapping performances should have been on the agenda.
A great debut album full of heartbreak and drugs. I love how focused the feelings, narrative, and track quality is on this album. I do think some of his other work has aged a bit better, as music has gone away from this emo rap sound.
A good album, but a step down from The Goat. Despite having moments that rival and get the better of The Goat, it is bloated and there isn't enough of an evolution. I think if this album sat at around 12 tracks, with the first 8 songs + Bloody Canvas + 3 other good songs from the 2nd half, it would have been a great album that exceeded The Goat. Still though, limited evolution, but much more polished
A great produced cohesive work from Metro, but lacking amazing artists performances. Some nice moments from Travis, Swae, 21, Offset, and Drake though.
Outside of HUT, this is the best piece of work he has put out. So concise, and it has some of the best RnB cuts you'll find. Such an impressive debut mixtape, and first installment of The Trilogy
Lots of songs I don't love on here, but this album has most of Carti's best music. Long Time Intro & Shoota are his best songs in his catalog to date. I think in this type of project the highlights are much more important than the lows.
Another great album from Rocky, as I did enjoy this sonic switch up from him. A$AP kept his streak of having legendary intro to his albums as Distorted Records is such an immersive track with insane production and mixing. I think the start and end of this tracklist is where you find the most quality in this album experience. That track 6-11 run is probably his weakest part of any album of his, although I do love Buck Shots. Testing does rank at the bottom of his catalog, but that isn't a ... read more
A classic debut project from A$AP Rocky. Live Love A$AP sounds straight out of Houston despite Rocky being a Harlem rapper. It's the best world building cloud rap project I've ever heard, as the sound immerses you all through out the 50 minute runtime. The charismatic delivery + Clams Casino's incredibly hazy production makes this land at #3 for 2011 AOTY.
