The early releases from the major hip hop acts this year have been no less than a 7.5 so far. No classics but still have major replay value ex Don, Baby keem Cole

Cole was some buns but yes everyone’s coming out strong so far

I’m not too worried about people dropping classics but instead being inspired and motivated

Rocky

Tip about to have rap album of the year

hip hop needs leaders

The big artists dropping has been cool, but there some smaller artists def coming into their own rn that is way more exciting imo

Never really left tbh

Niggas just wanted to make thinkpieces

Baby Keem album was cool but I couldn’t get used to the vocal change

Don Toliver isn’t really a rapper to me

that's like a definition 7-7.5 album

All these major albums lately have been this at best for my ears tbh

Nope

0/10. Be honest with yourself

2026 so far is a bounceback year cuz big names dropped decent album like how 2025 was the year of old rappers cuz they dropped some ok s***

I thought 2025 was honestly pretty strong

Tbh I feel like the bounce back year was two years ago but that’s just my opinion

keem dropped a classic
