Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

That album isn’t #2. It’s just one of my top 10 favourite hip-hop albums this decade. I’d probably place it at #9 or #10.

I love IGOR so much. It’s such a space-like, soulful, psychedelic, youthful, abstract, ear-candy masterpiece. It’s definitely not an album for everyone, but I think it’s a very likeable album!

For me, it’s the best hip-hop album of the year, with Little Simz and Madlib & Freddie Gibbs behind.

Simz and Madgibbs belong on the best hip hop of this year, Igor doesnt imo. I barely even classify it as hip hop

To be fair I havent given it a chance to grow on me, but after a few listens nothing stuck or compelled me to go back.

And that’s OK. I’m happy you are not forcing yourself to like it! I was never really into Run The Jewels 3 when it came out. I just wasn’t feeling the production and energy on that album but everyone seemed to love that album. I just found it a weak follow-up to their classic Run The Jewels 2.

We all have albums we don’t care for that everyone seems to love. Just like how some people on here love hip-hop but don’t enjoy To Pimp A Butterfly etc

I fuck with "Jeopardy," "Early," "Love Again," and "Angel Duster," but dont care for the rest of RTJ2. All of RTJ's stuff has a habit of only being occasionally interesting for me. I think the first one holds my attention the most out of all three.

I generally feel the same. I liked the first one but never though too much of it since it was a freebie. I thought it was cool that they blew up so much but there were always a few duds for me that kept me from actually buying an album. I like R.A.P. Music better because Killer Mike is definitely the much better rapper and El-P still shines on production.

Hey my dude people are throwing out lotsa great suggestions and I want to contribute.

IMO Great Rap Albums of 2019:

Beast Coast - Escape From New York
Maxo Kream - Brandon Banks
Freddie/Madlib - Bandanna

An artist I think you’d enjoy that hasn’t yet been mentioned:

Aesop Rock - “The Impossible Kid” is great and deals with getting older which is pretty relatable. His entire back catalog is great too.

Then a super left field (to the point that it would barely qualify as rap):

Why? “Alopecia” is certainly worthy of your time (though again all of they’re records are pretty fun.

I find Pretty much everything Tyler has ever done utterly Uncompelling both lyrically, flow, and production. I think he’s and interesting person but his art is boring AF.

Hes very hit or miss for me. I like Flower Boy and some of Bastard and Goblin.

Why? Is fantastic and a severely under rated group
 
Thank you all for suggestions on recent stuff to check out! It’s nice to know that rap this decade was more than that one dude from Degrassi (although I can’t even lie, I have enjoyed some of his songs). I am definitely gonna check them out!

I mean, my wife and I have tried watching him at two separate festivals where he was headlining (because she actually likes some of his music) but both times we left after maybe 20 minutes because it was mind-numbingly boring.

Just curious about when this was, because I did see him at Bonnaroo before gkmc came out and it was underwhelming. However I've seen him twice since then and he was great both times, especially on the Damn tour.

One of the times WAS the Coachella set when he was promoting Damn and then a couple of years before that at FYF in L.A. I think my main issue is that he's just one guy on this huge stage, and I don't like him much to begin with, so he doesn't hold my attention. It would be like if Beyonce's Coachella performance was only her, without the band and the dancers and all of that.

I mean on that damn tour he hand sword fighters, dancers, ninjas, etc... on stage and from everything I've heard it was the same show he premiered at Coachella that year, so I dont agree that it was just one guy on a huge stage, but even in the moments it was just him up there he was incredible imo.
