How a Rap Battle Against Kanye West Led to One of the Best West Coast Hip-Hop Songs of the 2000s
vice.comWhat style/sub genre is ULTRA SHXT by Denzel Curry?
Is there an actual name or whatever for the style of the song cus it’s not like what i usually listen to.
Quavos album Qromelife is actually really good… when you remove all the songs with features
Somehow, all the songs with features are all terrible except SOMEHOW the song with TI?
I genuinely think people hated on this album purely because they just went straight for the songs with features.. since logically Quavo of all artists should be best with features, but surprisingly not.
Someone said Hit A Lik should’ve been the intro and honestly, yes. It feels like a half song which works as an intro
Trance is a banger
Factory Trim is a top 10 banger of the year
Sweep is really freakin good, I love the chords and the hook is super catchy
Thick in the Mirror is solid
HAAVIN is tough and should’ve been the song with Future on it… I mean he does a Future flow at the beat switch
Destined is fire
Hotel Lobby doesn’t really count lol, but 8/15 songs being good still isn’t all that good, but what we do have carry’s
Probably the most over hated album of the year in recent years
Who is an absolutely garbage rapper you love?
Crunchy Black might be the worst rapper to ever grab a mic. But I fuckin love him.
What happened to rap music? 30 years ago, all of these albums dropped, and more. The state of the game has never been worse, imo.
Every single one of these albums are great. 2026 has brought us some decent releases but nothing that really stays in rotation.

10 of my favourite Rap/hip hop albums ever.
Not in any specific order
Mr Smith - LL COOL J
Cool RnB album with very good beats, flow is cool, but he only talks about sex on most of the songs, still good 7,5/10.
The Diary - Scarface
Very raw and movie like. It’s sounds like your watching a cool tv show somehow, one wierd song tho 8/10.
Astroworld - Travis Scott
I was like 16 when this came out I it still holds up, album you should listen to on a late night drive 8/10.
Ignorance is a bliss - Skepta
Somehow makes me feel more European, rolling a joint in a VW in the parking lot with a Red Bull on the side while playing solitaire on the phone during the night while it’s raining outside type of European. Really love all his music. The Grime and Garage beats are crazy on this one 8,5/10.
Life of a Don - Don Toliver
5 year old album but still sounds like it’s gonna be timeless. They did some cool stuff with some drums. Harmonic wise it’s very pleasing 7/10.
1999 - Joey Badass
Dude was literally 16/17 when he made this. I get why a lot of skaters like it. Fits the whole vibe 7,5/10
Life after death - Biggie
Top production, makes me feel like i am on a boat in South France, one of the best imo 9/10.
We’re all alone in this together - Dave
Lyrics are crazy as expected from Dave, production also top notch,really speaks to the imagination. 8,5/10.
Dirty Sprite 2 - Future
Really started of the sound that a lot of rappers still make. Beats really fit the vibe in general 7,5/10.
All Eyez On Me - 2Pac
My dad put this on when I was 8. Every song is good and the cultural impact this album had and still has is unparalleled. 10/10.
