i'm just gonna come out and say this: i heard some of the new puff daddy album and there are at least a few joints on it. normally, i think he's an unabashedly weak rapper... but at least he's got his own style.

@Raj, how do you embed something unconventional, like Audiomack. The embed code from the website doesn't work. Not a big deal if it ain't happening.
 
@ketan No Audiomack support yet. If it becomes a "thing"... I can work on it. Thanks.

This one is a guilty pleasure for me...it's really that beat that I keep coming back to. Few months old but fuggit':

Enjoying the hell out of this album. Not exactly the re-invention of rap music but very nice listen from beginning to end.

I guess at this point I've more left the board than am left on it but


Pusha T - Darkest Before Dawn
50 - The Kanan Tape
Dave East - Hate Me Now
Mike Davis - King Davis
Yo Gotti - CM8
Jadakiss - T5DOA (tape not album)

 
More guilty pleasure shit here. Obligatory white rapper that sound aiight poast...the beat and the cadence are what I think I enjoy about it...content is 'meh':

Hi bassie!

For some reason I've found myself reluctant to check out the Pusha T. I'm guessing it's worth giving a listen to then?
 
I thought MNIMN was really disappointing - it's basically a two tracker for me. I was hesitant with Darkest, too, but I rate it high now.

It was a really good year for rap, what was good was excellent...and varied. Vince Staples, Jay Rock, Jadakiss, Yo Gotti, Travis Scott, Jeezy, Dave East and Pusha are my top lps this year and they are all super different from each other.

OK really good to know thanks; MNIMN was so underwhelming as to disappear from my memory as soon as I heard it and I assumed that future GOOD releases would follow a similar path. I will check it out (along with the Jay Rock which entirely slipped by me).

Yes, it was a really, strong year for rap and, particularly, consistently good whole albums/mixtapes It was also great to see people like Vince Staples follow up their promise with strong albums.
In addition to your list I'd personallyadd the beautifully morose Earl Sweatshirt album which got me really excited for what he does next along with Future's mixtapes, Denzel Curry, Milo, and various Young Thug. Just looking at that list underlines the variety of the releases I enjoyed and I wasn't even really digging deep last year. Would really welcome another year like that.
 
Wassup, Bassie?!
