So to make it so Roc Marciano isn’t on this list 3 times (because honestly he could have been), only one release will be shown per artist, unless they are in a group of multiple vocalists. With streaming being gamed by artists more and more every year, the ability to release multiple albums a year is easier then ever. All in all I hope you enjoy, and tell a friend about something you love today. I created this page to point out connections between acts, and talk good rap over anything. This idea of a big EOY list was inspired by years of eye rolls at Complex and Rolling Stone, and the sighs of articles about people going above and beyond to bash over uplift. Thanks for those who came to this looking for insight and discovery more than quick reactions to things like “Testing” being ranked higher than “Daytona” or my lauding of Noname and Kali Uchis as the futures of sound. More words on big picture ideas than individual albums is the goal for the time being, even with a broken laptop and library access as the only outlets for these words. I’ll always write even if no one is watching because this medium of art (the music) is more important to me then any physical thing in this flaming Titanic of a world. But pitting each album against each other and trying to choose who is objectively better while also working in other genres is tiring, even more so when a great album comes out every week. Hip-Hop is in a territory of honestly insane acclaim with fortune to boot and I’ve never been happier with it.

I started writing on another discarded Tumblr somewhere in retrospect about the early days of Odd Future, the greatness of “Blue Chips”, and my first piece is floating in the ethos about Mac Miller from years and years ago. But as the turnover rate of records hits astronomical rates I grow more and more tired of the same sounds. This year I wanted to write on a hundred albums and maybe still might. Over the past three years I’ve done everything I can to keep up with the pulse of contemporary music, sifting through literally hundreds of projects a year to find the best 50 and change.
Tumblr is ending slowly but surely as am I with these year end long form explanations. The final arc, the end of an era, and to be honest no one really cares including me.
