So what's been everyone's highlights this year?
For me personally there's been 2. Pusha's story of Adidon was incredible. Everything from the cover art to the bars and Pusha's flow was so fucking slick and just ughhh. It got me feeling the old way, nothing off limits, old school diss and the new school was offended, it was brilliant. Sick sick sick
Then Eminem dropped an album with no prior marketing or noise or nothing just pretty much going off on anyone. Being a major Stan since 99 and but not feeling the last 15 years of his music like I once did this got me giddy as fuck. plus he introduced me to Joyner Lucas which is never heard of before and then I started to peep his shit and now can't wait for ADHD. But it's been a good year, Daytona was also hot and the new meek album got the old school beat vibes too.
Didn't like Kanye's album though and wasn't feeling Lupe's either. I need to listen to book of ryan more too be for the year is out. Oh and Crooked's little project with them other guys that give you like slaughterhouse vibes (name escapes me) was pretty good too
Great question.
I too enjoyed Pusha’s diss at Drake and found it hilarious that Drake never responded to SoA.
That period in the summer when GOOD Music were dropping an album every week (even though I didn’t like them all) it was exciting.
Eminem dropping a good album out of the blue and the MGK back and forth.
Jay-Z’s verse on What’s Free on the new Meek Mill album.
Griselda dropping nothing but greatness all year.
Black Thought proving he is the best out at the moment.
It’s been a very good year for hip hop IMO.
