huge fax that’s what makes it so good lol

Nas - Life Is Good
Almost 20 years after dropping a Hiroshima bomb on the game, the GOAT returns to show rappers how to age gracefully. Restoring the hunger of his younger days, with an updated, more mature outlook on life, Nas gives us one of his most personal albums yet. Not a perfect album (although it easily could've been), but very close to it.

Vince Staples - Summertime '06
Vince Staples probably never wanted to be a rapper, but the universe had different plans for the boy. Armed by a ferocious flow and vivid lyricism, he gives us one of the best rap debuts of the century, occasionally showing that beyond his apathetic demeanor he has a lot of heart.

Isaiah Rashad - Cilvia Demo
This dude Isaiah is the definition of talent and craftmanship. Who would've thought that a previously unknown rapper, on his breakthrough project that's titled a demo, featuring a cast of mostly unknown producers, will sound so undeniable? A student of OutKast, mixing getting lit and faded with self-reflection, "music for the vibers" as he will call it, he gives us a therapeutic classic.

Schoolboy Q - Blank Face LP
Sorry Q, but a nerd like me still thinks this is your best album. More psychedelic than his other efforts, while never compromising how gangsta it sounds, Q attacks those beats in so many ways and his hook game is always unpredictable and enjoyable.

Roc Marciano - Reloaded
Roc is a passionate hip-hop head and he made this album with the intent of giving the listeners the same feeling that the classics of the 80's and 90's gave him. On a mostly-self produced affair, mixed by Q-Tip, his cutting-edge production, laid-back yet menacing flow and complex, often humorous wordplay quickly become addictive.

Summertime 06 and Blank Face

the blank face instrumental leaks is still one of the hardest instrumental albums ive ever heard

Cilvia Demo is incredible. Please give us more Zay.

the suns tirade underrated

Good list OP, I like your list

Agreed. Ton of great stuff in there.

Nobody cares about this

Also influential. He started a movement that's still getting bigger and better every year with Griselda, sLUms, etc

I’ve only heard rosebuds revenge from him but it was nice

Oh yeah, Reloaded his best s*** for sure. The rest of his discog still fire tho underrated artist

pilot talk and roc marciano s/o

Just listened to it I gotta listen to the rest of his s***

Chief Keef - Almighty So
Finally Rich expanded and diversified the singular sound of BFTD, but at the same time, kinda commercialized it. By distancing from main producer Young Chop as well as the major label's chains, Almighty So captures Keef at the peak of his lean-induced nihilism and finds the ultimate mix of consistently enjoyable and straight-up fascinating.

Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager
Cudi's melodic spacey rap is healthy for your mind and soul. Following up his genre-bending, culture-shifting classic debut, now he takes us into darker and more psychedelic realms. The combination of his beautiful voice and knack for melody remains powerful, while his production and songwriting become more diverse, detailed and focused.

Rick Ross - Rich Forever
Coming off a series of high quality projects and show-stealing features, it truly felt like Ross was the hottest rapper of the post-MBDTF, pre-GKMC era. Rich Forever replaces the melodramatic bloat that makes other Ross projects slightly over-the-top by pure street energy, where every producer and feature just tries to go as hard as possible.

Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap
Despite wearing his influence on his sleeve, there is something about Chance that made him so refreshing and exciting. He can definitely rap but also has pop star showmanship. Say what you want about him now, on Acid Rap he does everything just right. It's jazzy and d***ged-out. It's childlike and fun, but also introspective and serious.

Mac Miller - Swimming
Mac was such a musical dude and his final statement showed it like no other. He finally found the confidence to go all out without features. He started singing more. It's pretty heartbreaking that this album was too mature for mainstream consumption. Yet it captures the beautiful and peaceful soul that was Mac just perfectly. What a way to go out. RIP.
