...along with the countless other huge names, is this the best year for hip hop in recent memory?

Yes

YeA

best year since 2016

It’s already up there with Ye, drake, Tyler, WG

Been a good ass year overall hope it’s the same for y’all if not better times are coming for sure 🤝

I think this may beat 2016 when all is said and done tbh

hopefully jay and pusha drop as well

Would be great if all big names drop this year.

Hopefully 2022 we get new batch of artist with no family ties if you know what I mean

so far great year

no one has missed to me

Except Drake and Baby Keem

If the music is good, yeah

We’ve had plenty of years that were supposed to be great on paper because of the big names that dropped and those years still sucked. Just depends on if it’s good s***

if they missed i def wouldve said it

So far though, the second half of this year is going to get f***ing carried

This. Who cares if the artists are big-name if the projects are subpar. Drake and Ye projects were good by general standards, but bad based on their discog.

Gon be up there with 2012, 13, and 14

Kanye will never drop this year

We have a lot of big names dropping, but are they dropping their best? No.

Don't think Drake and Kanye are dropping this year

we are not gonna mention he put "cole" in the title

Shut the f*** up

Anytime Drake and Ye drop is good already

Baby Keem didn’t miss either.
Drake dropped mid when compared to his discography but still better than 90% of stuff out there.

The Off Season AOTY

The quality of the music matters more than the names

Drake and Cole have already dropped dookie butter
