Caleb Baker
t. Gramps
Anthony Nguyen
If you're younger than any of those albums you shouldn't be here
Julian Barnes
because they are great albums are you kidding me
i'm not sure if i can say these are objectively the best, most influential or whatever metric you're using, but out of all the hiphop i heared (which is a lot) these are the ones i like the most at the moment
Wyatt Perry
what's bottom right?
Henry Hall
nice list man, cudi's album was number 5 on my list but later i changed my mind, it wasnt on the same level as other four. still a very good album tho
man on the moon
Luis Carter
Atrocity Exhibition
Jacob Murphy
awesome tastes, those are some great albums my friend. upvoted
Eli Thompson
You can't be fucking serious
Lincoln Nelson
>blond
>rap
Dominic Watson
sorry bro i'm mostly an old head
i'm just starting to get into post 90s hip hop but i'm still pretty new to it
Henry Rivera
This.
Endless and Cherry Bomb were better.
Leo Myers
Gotta be contrary!
Endless is decent but yeah, not buying that. Cherry Bomb is absolute shit.
Julian Bennett
endless was the most self indulgent half assed thing frank has ever done
Adam Brooks
Fair enough you would probably think the same about the shit I don't know then.
Zachary Perez
I think this band form PL is quite close youtube.com
Henry Reyes
that's right, you whippersnappers are ruining my hiphop
Christopher Rodriguez
Explain what was bad about Cherry Bomb and Endless.
>says the dude who thinks Blonde is good
Explain what was bad about Endless.
Jose Gomez
endless is self indulgent and unfocussed, the features are bad, most of the beats blend into one and the whole thing just sounds wanky
it could have been a really good ep but there are way too many filler tracks
Aaron Butler
Is this bait? Yeah plebs like MBDTF and TBAP even though they're 8s at best, but the new Frank Ocean and Travis fucking Scott? You gotta be kidding me if you like that trap garbage. Last 10/10 hip hop album was pic related and I would implore anybody to show me anything as good made in the last 5 years, with the possible exception of the new ATCQ which doesn't count because it's basically a glossed-up 90s boom bap record anyway,
Isaac Barnes
if your GOAT rap albums list doesn't have stuff from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s you're probably fucking up.
not that you personally have to love all those eras but if you're aiming to make an "objective" list it's dumb not to acknowledge that there's gems throughout rap history.
Cherry Bomb is Tyler trying to make a NERD album, and it has about the same hit-to-miss ration as actual NERD albums (~50/50).
yes, your post is definitely bait.
Lucas Thomas
Nigga I just want somebody to recommend me some good modern rap knowing that:
>I don't think Kanye and Kendrick are god's gifts to rap, but I don't hate them
>I like DOOM
>I hate trap
Tyler Russell
try this:

Adrian Foster
Now that scratches my offbeat mid-2000s backpacker itch. I bet you're baiting but I don't give a fuck.
Joshua Rogers
Common - Like Water For Chocolate
?????
Jack Thompson
no bait, there's plenty of good 2010s stuff that taps into this vein, just like there has been since the 90s.
youtube.com
soundcloud.com

i guess what i'm saying is instead of being angry about the stuff that's shoved in your face, go looking for stuff that piques your interest instead of assuming it doesn't exist.
there's too much music being made for that.
Jose White
Henry Moore
This is a good album
Asher Hernandez
Only one I was born for was madvillainy.
Henry Butler
>the features are bad
This is how I know you didn't listen to it. There barely were any.
I listened to Blonde twice and I couldn't remember a single song from it.
>Cherry Bomb is Tyler trying to make a NERD album
Kek, no. If anything, it's his attempt to make a Death Grips album.
Jonathan Scott
Check this album out
youtu.be
Aiden Bennett
like the other user said Cherry Bomd is Tyler's DG attempt
Zachary Thompson
>This is how I know you didn't listen to it. There barely were any.
i didnt say there were loads of features but i dont like sampha and i dont think arcas contributions really improved it at all
maybe you should try listening to blonde again, i genuinely believe its hit best album to date
Dylan Cook
this makes me doubt you've ever heard a NERD album or a Death Grips album for that matter.
this took like 6 months to really click with me past the singles and now i'm annoyed at myself for being so dense.
REALLY good and the subject matter means that Mike is forced into a more intense place emotionally than he was on Dark Comedy.
Liam Morales
open mike eagle is cool but i've always prefered milo personally
youtube.com
Ryder Robinson
milos new album is probably the best thing he has ever done, it's amazing
Jackson Foster
it was hip hop aoty for last year desu
Mason Nguyen
very very incorrect opinion
Jaxson Morales
respectable choices
Gavin Barnes
why has nobody said barter 6
Owen Harris
>it was hip hop aoty for last year desu
hard choice between this and flowerboy but i can agree to a tie
Jaxson Hughes
> no u
Great argument.
Kek, you're literally complaining about background vocals that have very little impact on the songs themselves. And how that somehow is worse than a completely forgettable and non-impactful album. Your taste is arbitrary and inconsistent at best.
Nathan Bennett
very very incorrect opinion
Nicholas Hernandez
Rate
Blackout - Dreamland
Madvillainy
Gravediggaz - 6 Feet Under
Denzel Curry - Imperial
Good Kid Maad City
Nolan Lee
Here is a better top 5:
1. Bottomless Pit
2. The Money Store
3. Government Plates
4. Exmilitary
5. The Powers That B
Jaxon White
because rap/hip hop doesn't have to be "hard"
Jace Jenkins
Danny Brown - XXX
Big K.R.I.T. - 4eva Is a Mighty Long Time
.clipping - CLPPNG
cLOUDDEAD - cLOUDDEAD
milo - So the Flies Don’t Come
desu
Gavin Edwards
very VERY very incorrect opinion
Christopher Murphy
how is blond even close to being a hip hop album??
at best it’s bland PBR&B
Evan Ortiz
>if you wanna cookie you can book me
best track
Brandon Hill
No bully pls
Isaac Morgan
comparing it to DG ignores the funk/r&b strain that runs through the whole album, most notably on stuff like "Find Your Wings" or "2Seater" or "Okaga, CA", or that the more aggro songs are more tied to trap or old Neptunes drum patterns than the more chaotic DG stuff.
the only thing they have in common is blown-out levels on some tracks and that's not nearly enough.
Benjamin Ortiz
>arca's beats have no impact whatsoever
at least i listened to the album because you clearly didn't if you think arca and alex g didnt play any part in the sound
also that was just one of my criticisms, i notice it's the only you focussed on because you know the others are all true
endless is way more forgettable than blond in almost every way, it's less musically interesting for the most part, as well as less catchy so the only way you could find find endless less forgettable is if you watched the visual album with it and aren't capable of taking in music without visual aid (aka retarded)
frank literally released endless just to get out of a label contract, then released blonde as the album he actually wanted to make
at least i presented some actual arguments beyond "i listened to blond twice and found it forgettable" or, to paraphrase "i listened to blond twice and wasn't musically literate enough to take any of it in so literally forgot what it sounded like and am too lazy to go back to it"
Aaron Johnson
I'll give you that.
>i notice it's the only you focussed on because you know the others are all true
Because all your other points are subjective, except for the beats all blending together since that actually applies more to Blonde than Endless.
>endless is way more forgettable than blond in almost every way, it's less musically interesting for the most part, as well as less catchy
Kek, not really. Name me the best song on Blonde and I'll give you 5 better ones on Endless.
>so the only way you could find find endless less forgettable is if you watched the visual album with it and aren't capable of taking in music without visual aid (aka retarded)
I didn't even see the video, but nice reach.
>frank literally released endless just to get out of a label contract, then released blonde as the album he actually wanted to make
Doesn't mean it's good.
>at least i presented some actual arguments
All of which were subjective. Saying something "just sounds better" isn't an argument.
>i listened to blond twice and wasn't musically literate enough to take any of it in so literally forgot what it sounded like and am too lazy to go back to it
Kek theres literally nothing there kid. Endless was like Frank's Kid A while Blonde is more like Pablo Honey.
But please, tell me about the DEEP musical idiosyncrasies of Blonde that are just flying over my head. I'd love to hear them.
Matthew Peterson
obviously the entire premise of this thread is stupid and baity
but this guy takes it to a whole new level
i know its probably bait but he's made me bite because i dont think i could sleep tonight if i didnt call this faggot autistic
literally everything he's said on this thread, in both the conversations he's had, inform me that he's 15
either that or he's a pretty good baiter in which i case i tip my hat to him for his dedication and his accurate portrayal or mental disability
Andrew Ward
>I can't refute anything he said
>Better call it bait!
Keep listening to everything Fantano and p4k tells you faggot.
Jose Bennett
i've only just joined this thread so i'm not going to get into an argument with some middle school contrarian who knows nothing about music
just though i'd let you know how stupid you look to everyone else, i was trying to do you a favour kid
Adrian Murphy
Why is Kid A on there
Juan Roberts
>stop challenging my views REEEEEE
Wew can't handle all this autism. I'm sorry you don't have the mental capacity to express your opinions.
>middle school contrarian who knows nothing about music
The projection is strong with this one.
Oliver Harris
>criticises me all my points being subjective
>only presents subjective points himself
you really showed me there
and for the record
isn't me, even though i disagree with you im happy to accept that this is your opinion
Aaron Diaz
If you want to listen to some good, actually memorable R&B I'd recommend Sampha's Process (even though his feature somehow left a bad impression on you lmao).
Blonde isn't bad, just not as strong as Endless imo.
Jack Lewis
i really wanted to like process and gave it quite a few listens when it first came out but it just didn't connect with me some how and i never found myself enjoying it that much (which is probably part of the reason i didnt like his feature, because i know that i dont really like him lol)
Samuel Reyes
theres also hendrix and white stripes on there. i assume this is his regular chart and he's just a hiphophead
William Collins
replace blond with Madvillainy
replace TPAB with The money store
replace Rodeo with Illmatic
Bentley Foster
this except MBDTF is actually good
Anthony Davis
This.
Lucas Baker
I'd honestly say this is in the top 25 hip-hop album of all time.
Tyler Lopez
Why do people like mbdtf so much?
I thought it was an good album that went in a different direction than other hip-hop albums even to this day, but is it really a 10?
The albums dives after monster
Bentley Miller
All but I don't feel Biggie and Pac much, still can't wrap my head round all the shilling
Liquid Swords confirmed GOAT though
Alexander Adams
MBDTF shill confirmed
Black Star is also GOAT asf
Ian King
The Streets is great, but not that fucking great
Check out Foreign Beggars - Asylum Speakers for some good UK smartnigga rap
Chase Bell
Unrelated to thread, but what's the song at 1:05? It's on the tip of my tongue, but I rarely listen to hiphop
youtube.com
Adam Garcia
There have got to be a few GOAT hip hop albums that aren't exclusively rapping over jazz beats
Robert Turner
This. It's more like a soul infused Radiohead or bon Iver album
Nolan Cruz
This list is pretty good, it covers all the major decades and many of the major subgenres of rap. (Except for maybe trap, but I don't know of any trap albums on the level of these albums.)
Dylan Rodriguez
Alexander Adams
Sup Forumscore: the taste
John Stewart
Fucking true. I have seen posts where people say "Blonde is a good hip-hop album". They are probably saying it because Frank is black and makes some music with hip-hop artists.
