Tie between chance and west

I've been pretty underwhelmed by rap albums this year, but here are my favorites:

YG, Still Brazy
Chance The Rapper, Coloring Book
Kendrick Lamar, Untitled Unmastered
Future, Evol
Kevin Gates, Islah
Kanye West, The Life of Pablo
Joey Purp, iiiDrops

Non-rap:

David Bowie, Blackstar
Radiohead, A Moon Shaped Pool
Blood Orange, Freetown Sound
Sturgill Simpson, A Sailor’s Guide to Earth
Parquet Courts, Human Performance
The Hotelier, Goodness
Rihanna, ANTI

I still need to listen to the new albums by The Avalanches and ScHoolboy Q.

Edit: I'm halfway through ScHoolboy Q. It's very good.

I almost put the Kevin Gates joint on my list too.

still havent heard that Joey Purp, but people keep saying its good.

Thought this was an Oats thread tbh

le$ - techno violet.

i just found out anderson paak is breezy lovejoy

Anderson Paak has probably got the most play from me, followed by Chance, Kanye and Kevin Gates.

anyone listen to the new Blink 182 album?

Its actually pretty good. Skiba is ok still gotta get used to him i guess

I feel like the Kanye album doesnt hold up. Maybe it's just me. I listened to it again about a month ago and I found myself hitting skip half way through almost every song.

though cozz shit was weak. preferred cozz & effect.

word at anderson paak though. shit smooth.

oddisee alwasta ep been getting spun & the six plus tapes curren$y dropped this year.

other than that hasn't really been shit noteworthy so far. aint listen to school boy q shit yet though.

Theres a album by these catz called Ugly Heros produced by Apollo Brown shits pretty nice. U missed Apathys new shit Handshakes with Snakes. What about Aesop Rock. Also new Havoc and Alchemist album.
@kannon

Grabbed that schoolboy shit and I'm glad I did. Shits tuff. Prolly grab a couple of these other ones too....but otherwise slow year imo

This apollo shjt bang too. Wish he'd work w less conscious (sp) rappers tho. His shit w guilty Simpson still my fav.

This Joey purp is a tape?

Or is there an iiidrop tape?

I'm listening to the tape. It's fire.

Them MUDDY WATER BOYS got something coming all on exclusive FINNYBEATS that's gonna smash everything in this thread.

this was really dope too as is pretty much everything he's done in the past 3-4 years

https://oddiseemmg.bandcamp.com/album/alwasta

Ugly Heroes was cool. Aesop Rock's album was cool. I dont think either will get a ton of spins from me though. I have the Apathy album, but havent listened to it yet. I think I passed on the Havoc/Alchemist joint.

Young Thug's Slime Season 3 was cool
Oddisee's Alwasta was dope, but I actually preferred his Instrumental tape. I been bumping that a lot more.
Elzhi's Lead Poison was ok. Not my favorite project of his.
Kaytranada's 99.9% is dope
Vic Mensa's ep is cool
Underachievers' It Happened In Flatbush is cool too.

Planet Asia wasnt bad

Yeah. I could agree with you :)

Blu & Nottz just dropped an album today pretty dope

Antlers - Hospice

Still Brazy still goes so damn hard. Best rap album of the year. This shit bumps like nothing since Dr. Dre's 2001.

Im gonna check it out this weekend i liked the one shit you posted from it.
