Top 79 Music Albums of 2016 by Skinny

After #41 this is a complete mess (obviously I like all of these records, but they're in no kind of order whatsoever, largely because I haven't yet figured out how much I like them). Will get it sorted properly when I have the time (maybe).

Too High To Riot 

 Bas

Of everybody I've heard who's associated with Dreamville, including head honcho J. Cole, Bas is easily my favourite, though that isn't saying a lot. Too High to Riot is smooth, focused, and extremely listenable, even if large parts of it veer far too close to background music for my liking. Bas is confident on the mic, and has a way with a nice punchline, but his mid-tempo flow and unfortunately rather anonymous voice means that he struggles to stamp his personality on this as much as he would probably like. Of course, this is all extremely harsh; it's a really cool hip-hop record that flows nicely and makes for cool listening in a wide variety of situations, and those sorts of all-weather chill-out albums are few and far between. So, despite its shortcomings, this is a record that I do thoroughly enjoy, and one that will get plenty of spins from me.

Rosecrans EP 

 DJ Quik & Problem

Buy album

It's strange that such a lovely release would constitute a disappointment, but such is the quality and consistency of DJ Quik's output over the past 25 years. This mini-album is a love letter to Compton, the first half of which is filled with luscious g-funk, the second half of which bizarrely abandons its established sonic identity in favour of something altogether less fun. It doesn't help that most of the album's rhymes are handled by rappers with far less personality than Quik - there isn't anything wrong with Problem per se, and Quik has repeatedly proven over the course of his career that he favours rappers who can stay in the pocket, but nothing here leaps out as particularly memorable in terms of rhymes, even if the entire thing is competent and sunny. The ten minute 'A New Nite / Rosecrans Groove' is the undoubted album highlight, with its ever-evolving, mischievous, bleep-propelled funk beat and catchy, Nate Dogg-indebted hook, but nothing else quite matches up, and 'Take It Off One Time' in particular is so pedestrian that Big Sean would be hesitant to use it as a B-side. Anyway, as a cross-generational experiment this is a mostly interesting and enjoyable West Coast curio that will no doubt soundtrack plenty of summer drives with the windows down, but it feels far too front-heavy and ultimately kinda flimsy.

Some viscous New Age/ambient ish. Definitely shines in its more idiosyncratic moments when something that feels slightly out of place will pop up and remind you that you aren't dozing next to a clear stream. Very cool, one of the best ambient records of the year that I've heard. [First added to this chart: 06/18/2016]
