Not a classic

album was fire tho

10 years….crazy

sheesh. what a year.

Wouldn’t call it a classic but I actually used to bump this s*** quite a bit back then

Underrated if anything

Listening to this for the first time rn, these riffs are stupid hard

That's f***ing crayz man dam

Most classic album released in 2013 if we being honest.

I remember being on ktt1 and someone had made a thread on artists dropping that year Beyonce Jay em Drake ye toro y moi Mac jcole literally just to name a FEW

holy f*** i'm old...

such cappppppp

Acid Rap was best rap album* of 2013 btw, will forever die on this hill

cant forget these classics

this might be the best year for rap ever

Not really a classic but I bought this album in 2013 cuz I was still on some real hip hop s*** and I was surprised at Kweli’s direction because he took a more mainstream approach on this album and you really wouldn’t know that from the cover or album title

If you like Talibs albums and haven’t checked it out I highly suggest u do

I know there's a certain element on this site who always thought this era of Chance was corny, and another who have aged out of "nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah-nah," but listening to the last minute of "Good Ass Intro" right now... every little flourish just seems perfect. it really feels like he caught maximalist lightning in a bottle with this one... way too complex to have been "spontaneous" in its construction, yet still feeling totally organic... I truly feel like the reason Chance's career has never quite been what we felt like it could be is that it really is impossible to make something so genuine-sounding as this a second time.

To me, Acid Rap really is (as Dave Eggers said about Infinite Jest) "a spaceship with no recognisable components, no rivets or bolts, no entry points, no way to take it apart. It is very shiny, and it has no discernible flaws. If you could somehow smash it into smaller pieces, there would certainly be no way to put it back together again. It simply is."

tl;dr, IGH

Honorable mentions:

Btw this era of music is still unmatched in my honest opinion.
