2010: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West
Kanye’s lyricism is at its speak. Contains so many one of the best features of all time. What makes this album overall a legendary masterpiece is how well its maximalist ideas of fame, sex, money, attention, and...

2011: Undun by The Roots
This is just another one of their masterfullu crafted pieces which feels like a music version of a VR headset. Album feels cinematic like with its interwined tracks and connected narrating.
Fav track: one time

2012: good kid, m.A.A.d city by Kendrick Lamar

Each track addresses a completely different event in Kendrick’s life and shows the lesson it taught him.

2013: Nothing Was The Same by Drake
This is without a doubt my favorite Drake Album and near perfect to me. The highs on this album are so high, the features all add so much and every song are just great.

2014: Piñata by Freddie Gibbs & Madlib
The chopped up jazzy production makes for possibly Madlib’s best produced record ever. Freddie Gibbs elevates to a top tier MC as a prodigy of Madlib. The pairing of Madlib and...

Freddie produce the gangsta mentality into a more finely vivid picture that takes its own form away from the ugly negatives it actually brings about in real life.

2015: Rodeo by Travis Scott
One of the most impactful modern hip hop. The consistency in his confidence and how he keeps the destructive momentum where the track list score bangers after bangers is what exactly justifies the album’s theme.

2017: Flower Boy Album by Tyler The Creator
Tyler is a weirdo but a special one. Tyler overall brought his strongest body of work to date with a unique kind of introspection which covers all the necessary feelings you would need to address before moving forward in real life...

2018: Care For Me by Saba
Short, simple, & sweet both in structure & theme. The album’s sheer consistency of its convincing emotional vents & storytelling makes up a very highly organic experience that you can partially or fully identify with.

2019: All My Heroes Are Cornballs by Jpegmafia
The album’s beauty stems from its tendency to tackle classic internet tropes in often comical or relatable fashion with pretty much great accuracy of real life...
