Post subject: Most Essential Hip Hop Albums of the 2010s
I think hip hop/rap is underrepresented on BEA as it is a bias towards rock mostly so I think a post like this is necessary to get the member's feet wet here. So I'll start:
Good Kid Maad City by Kendrick Lamar (of course)
Watching Movies With The Sound Off by Mac Miller
Live.Love.ASAP By ASAP Rocky
O.N.I.F.C. by Wiz Khalifa
Acid Rap by Chance The Rapper
XXX by Danny Brown
Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight by Travis Scott
These Things Happen by G-Eazy
DS2 By Future
The Stoned Immaculate by Curren$y
Nothing Was The Same by Drake
Because The Internet by Childish Gambino _________________ Chris Krug

Agree with GKMC. Borderline on Live.Love.A$AP and Acid Rap. XXX and Nothing Was The Same are both good but not what I'd characterize as "most essential." Hard pass on everything else. I tried to make my own list but it started getting too long to the point where a chart might make more sense. _________________ Add me on RYM

Admittedly I don't throw on a lot of hip hop and when I do it tends to be tracks from the 80s and 90s, but here's some albums I'm still interested in from this decade:
Gonjasufi's A Sufi and a Killer
Freddie Gibbs/Madlib's Pinata
Zebra Katz' Drklng
Shabbazz Palaces' Black Up
Kendrick Lamar's GKMC
and some favorite tracks not on those albums:
Pusha T's "Numbers on the Board"
Big Sean's "Control"
Earl Sweatshirt's "Chum"
Tyler, the Creator's "Fish"
Kanye West's "Devil in a New Dress"
Jay Rock has some okay mixtapes, still gotta check out 90059. Mick Jenkins is good, The Water[s] is a great mixtape. I haven't heard a lot of these so thanks, some good recommendations, I'll check these out.
Update: of these suggestions 777 by Paranom and The Life and Death of Scenery by L'Orange and Mr. Lif are both the must listens _________________ Chris Krug
