Default Best Hip Hop Releases of 2016(so far)
So I was thinking in the albums your digging thread about the hip hop releases this year that were quality.

Go ahead and list off your favorites of this year so far. I'm pretty sure I've missed out on a few gems.


My list:

De La Soul - and the Anonymous Nobody...
Flatbush Zombies - 3001: A Laced Odyssey
Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid
Schoolboy Q - Blank Face LP
Kanye West - The Life of Pablo
Skepta - Konnichiwa
Chance The Rapper - Coloring Book
Kendrick Lamar - untitled unmastered.
Snoop Dogg - Coolaid

Ka - Honour Killed the Samurai
Death Grips - Bottomless Pit
Isaiah Rashad - The Sun's Tirade
Elzhi - Lead Poison
Kendrick Lamar - Untitled, Unmastered.
Rome Fortune - Jerome Raheem Fortune
Chance the Rapper - Colouring Book
Aesop Rock - The Impossible Kid
YG - Still Brazy
Open Mike Eagle & Paul White - Hella Personal Film Festival
Joey Purp - iiiDrops


That's in order, at least as of now. There's been a ton of great hip-hop releases this year, as far as I'm concerned, and I had hard time leaving off stuff like Chris Crack & Vic Spencer's joint, as well as Denzel Curry, and Kaytranada.

Oh snaps, I forgot about Lead Poison.

This is the reason I want to see other people's lists so I can listen and re-listen to stuff that I either missed out on the first time or play again.

Also would Kaytranada actually count as hip hop? I'm pretty sure that's an electronica release.


As much as I played that A$AP Ferg album, it wasn't really that great. He had like five maybe six tracks max that were awesome but everything else kind of sucked and felt like filler.

Yeah, I feel like I'm forgetting some stuff too. Lead Poison was fantastic though, the way he took beats which were kind of simplistic and straight forward and made his lyrics the true basis of the project made it a really rewarding experience imo.

That's why I didn't include it on my list. I would say it's very heavily influenced by hip-hop, but there's no question that it isn't just a straight-up hip-hop project.

I hated the project. I'm not a Ferg fan to begin with, but I thought it was one of the corniest releases this year. I liked the track with Lil Uzi Vert, and that was about it.

To each his own I guess, I dug it.

I stopped trying to stay caught up with new releases a while ago but I did grab that new De La and like daaaaaaaamn dude, it's pretty killer! Also very pleased with the quality of Impossible Kid compared to Skeleton. Also that performance of Dorks on Colbert with Yo La Tengo was a real fangirl face melter.
