2014 Year End
My top 10 albums of the year
did this last year and had fun doing it so Ima do it again .
format is: # description * favorite song
but first... Mixtape of the year: Mick Jenkins-The Waster[s], Ep of the year: Isaiah Rashad- Cilvia Demo
#10 Ab-soul-These Days... An ambitious concept for the Black Lip Pastor who takes on what music sounds like "these days" moving from Dj Mustard Type beats to ATL Migos flow even Battle rapping. *The battle w/ Daylyt at the end of W.R.O.H
#9 Nikki Minaj- The Pink Print... This is probably Nikki's best album yet with her relying more heavily on her hip-hop roots but still keeping her pop records as well. the features from Meek Mill were crazy! *Shanghai
#8 Schoolboy Q- Oxymoron... Dark and brooding captures the depth of someone truly bout that life *Prescription/Oxymoron
#7 Big Krit- Cadillactica... Smooth beats that could also bang out the trunk if i had a car (-___-) Also some dope concepts as well *Standby
#6 Flying Lotus- You're Dead... Only out of the top 5 because it could be debated whether this is Hip-hop, it may fit more with Jazz/electronica but the blend is too good not to acknowledge *Never Catch Me (Video of the Year)
#5 Run The Jewels- Run The Jewels 2... El-Ps production is once again on point blending all of this weird stuff wit bass that you have to hear wit headphones. But his voice and flow are kinda bad when followin a Killer Mike verse *Close Your Eyes
#4 J. Cole- 2014 Forrest Hills Drive... We see some of Cole's most vulnerable lyrics creating his best for sale album yet *January 28th
#3 YG- My Krazy Life- I don't think anybody expected this album to be as good or conceptual as it was. Truly made me want to ride around in a low rider wit a Jerry curl *Do It To Ya
#2 Freddie GIbbs & Madlib- Pinata... These Beats LAWD!! Gibbs flows over them with no fear also painting honest pictures of the underbelly of Gary, Indiana *Pinata (BARS!!!) and Real (2nd verse is one of the best disses ive heard RIP Jeezy )
#1 Logic- Under Pressure... was never a huge fan of Logic but kinda tracked him.. He truly matured on this album and put his whole heart on this album. You can feel his hunger in some of the songs *Im Gone or Buried Alive or Till the End (I cant make up my mind)
thanks if you read all of that 1 love
