You liked Cherry Bomb? I'm probably the biggest Tyler fan in this forum but it was very to me. I liked Buffalo, Pilot. Tyler should really stick to rapping and stop trying to sing in every damn song. That Colombian chick who's all over the album was really nice though. At this point Tyler should just give up the mic and produce for others IMO.

[aeokq]

I'm not much of a contributor, considering I hardly buy new music anymore, but I liked the Canibus/Bronze Nazareth album.

The new Gangrene was mediocre.

That's all I got.

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

game - documentary 2
earl - i don't like people/go outside
drake - if you're reading this it's too late
drake & future - what a time to be alive
kendrick

the game & the drake+future albums i think were disproportionately ignored by this board. both heating up the streets but not rly talked about here, should include them on the list for those of us who like people/go outside.

[Gyangsta 4 Life]

Songs:
Power - Young Thug
Rae Smmerurd - No Type

on "Power". It's kinda slept on.
"No Type" is 2014.

Top 5 Songs:
Kendrick - Mortal Man
Drake - Star67
Dr. Dre - Animals
Fetty Wap & Remy Boyz - 679 (OG P-Dice Version)
Rae Sremmurd - This Could Be Us

Top 6 to 10:
Future - Commas
Drake & Future - Scholarships
Young Thug - Numbers
Kid Ink & Dej Loaf - Be Real
Young Thug & Popcaan - Good Times

Only albums I recall liking are Kendrick's and Drake's. Game had a good one too. But all of them contain tracks I'd skip.

Fetty Wap album was trash. Didn't bother listening to Future's shit. Or Meek's. Dre shit had some great songs that took a minute to grow on me, but the album as a whole is unmemorable.

That DJ Mustard mixtape with "Broke Boy" and "All About You" is severely (although understandably) underrated.

nothing he says resonates. it's corny, by-the-book punchlines. great atmosphere tho.

[Versive]

There are plenty of punchlines (though it's tough to call them that when almost every line has multiple meanings). There are also lines like,

When you're raised around rage and vengeance
You can change but in your veins remains major remnants

Which is pretty fucking resonant if you ask me.

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

i like the sound on yen lo but the bars are weak

hardest shit of the year by far. fuck out

That lack of drums tho

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

i can handle no drums. production is the album's strong point. it sets up the mood for dude to drop some depressing shit like

When you're raised around rage and vengeance
You can change but in your veins remains major remnants

Which is pretty fucking heavy on the forced multis if you ask me.

Literally only two white rappers on the list. Which of those two are "shitty"?
