    Post yr contender for AOTD 2020s.

    What makes a aotd? i think it's more than just quality. its something ubiquitous and seminal. gamechanging--- everything after is in some way a response to it

    why ask this question so early? I think that for an album to be representative of a decade it's gotta come early enough in the decade for its influence to saturate the genre

    WLR

    • wlr, like 808s and heartbreak, breaks open a new way forwards in posttrap, folding in elements from punk and hyperpop
    • a thesis on how posttrap as a genre can lean into its colonial nature and produce a "futuristic" metropolitanism
    • imo transcendent vocal performances for the ages
    • now you have no idea what narcissist sounds like.

    In terms of Hip Hop albums, so far for me it's the last JPEGMAFIA record and this new Kendrick album.

    billy woods x Preservation - Aethiopes

    Could make a case for this, Haram, Brass, or Shrines. woods and ELUCID have been on a whole other plane so far this decade. I would argue every album has bettered the former and Aethiopes is currently the peak - for now. Certainly the very best rap albums of the decade so far.
