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).

Out My Feelings (In My Past)

Since being released from prison, no rapper has released as much excellent music as fka Lil Boosie (sorry, Future), and Out My Feelings may just be his best effort yet. It isn't as intentionally heavy as Touch Down 2 Cause Hell or In My Feelings (Going Thru It), but its personal, poignant moments are sharper and carry more impact, and he seems to have found a perfect balance between the cheap synth bounce of his early career and the dark, robust trap he's been putting out since his release. His storytelling here is thoroughly immersive, and his thoughts on the current state of the world (whilst often silly, and occasionally abhorrent) are filled with a fire and a passion that pretty much no other rapper currently working is capable of mustering. His tales of his pre-rapping days are a joy to listen to, even at their most depressing, and he's still more than capable of coming up with an effortlessly memorable hook. I'm struggling to think of a rapper, past or present, whose music feels quite as authentic as Boosie's, and when he's rapping with as much energy as he is here, over beats that completely suit him, he feels like one of hip-hop's most vital voices. Nothing in rap has made me happier in the past couple of years than Torrance Hatch's renaissance, and this record proves that he's only going from strength to strength. Long may it continue.

More of the same from everybody's favourite recently released Baton Rougeian, albeit this time under a questionable 'concept album' cloak. I'm not really sure that a rapper whose entire oeuvre consists of songs about life in the streets making an album about life in the streets really qualifies it as a 'concept album', but who am I to argue with The Almighty Boosie? The production here is more melancholy (and somewhat cheaper-sounding) than it was on Out My Feelings, but Boosie is still in absolute beast mode, deftly balancing traditional gangsta rap tropes with more subdued, thoughtful moments. If you didn't like his last one, this one will be of no use to you, but the vice versa is equally true. Boosie is on fire.

In My Feelings. (Goin' Thru It)

... this is the bleakest Boosie release I've ever heard, an album that's angry at the world but uncharacteristically lacking the fight to do anything about it. This is an embittered, battle-weary, broken Boosie, and it shows on an album entirely devoid of enjoyable moments. That isn't to say that this is a bad album (it most certainly isn't), or that it doesn't have merit - it's just that it's not exactly a pleasant experience to gain this sort of insight into the mind of a man struggling with the weight of the world (and more than a few chips) on his shoulders, and it's really quite depressing to hear someone who's usually so full of life suddenly sound so demoralised. Every track here is slow-paced and solemn, and pure resentment seems to be the default emotion for the vast majority of this album's 34-minute runtime (though the sullen nature of much of this material means that it feels almost twice that length).

For a start, the track names themselves are extremely revealing - 'The Rain', 'Smile to Keep from Crying', 'Stressing Me', 'Bad Guy', 'Forgive Me Being Lost', 'I Know They Gon Miss Me', and the stoic, self-explanatory 'Cancer' are all downtrodden titles, and suggest that Boosie himself believes this record could well be his last. Inside, the music and the lyrics offer nothing to disprove this theory. Boosie repeatedly refers to the disease that hangs over this record, whether it's his own or the cancer(s) that killed various family members in the last year. He talks candidly and spitefully about people who have turned their back on him in the past, clearly with no intention of turning the other cheek. He asks God for answers time and time again, in a manner that indicates both indignation and a suffocating sense of hopelessness, the frustration in his voice almost belying his faith itself. On the hook to 'Bad Guy', he literally pleads with people to "leave him alone" - the effect is really quite distressing. The beats here lack their usual synthetic soul bounce (penultimate track 'Roller Coaster Ride' excepted), drawing almost exclusively from a palette of foggy greys and blackish blues. Not only that, but the album feels rushed. Some of these beats sound extremely cheap, but given that they're simply soapboxes from which Boosie can vent, to say so seems somewhat unfair. More glaringly, the volume here differs significantly from song to song, which makes for a jarring experience, and it's an issue that could seemingly have been easily solved. Overall, though, this is thematically the most cohesive album Boosie's ever released, for better or worse. There isn't a bad song here, and any one of these tracks would stand out as a memorable emotional anchor on another Boosie record, but back-to-back the effect they have is close to unbearable. As a glimpse into a tortured mind, In My Feelings is an extremely powerful piece of work, even if it fails to offer any real glimmer of hope. Which, for Boosie fans like myself, is the hardest thing to take.
