So far we already have:

• Future double album, with a mixtape and possible beef between him and 21/Gunna
• Kendrick, Rocky, Weeknd, Future, Rick Ross going at Drake
• Kanye trilogy series with one being released
• Best Yeat project
• Bladee return to his sound
• Mike with one of his projects in years
• Cash Cobain leading Jersey club
• Underground taking over with acts like Ken, Lone, xaviersobased, etc
• 21 solo
• Q return
• Megan-Nicki beef

With stuff like Weeknd, Carti, Rocky, Kendrick (double album), Kanye having to drop soon. we eating !

this feels like the first pre-pandemic year we've gotten post-pandemic

Fr. we gonna get nostalgic in due time for sure so relish in this

Nah

I think the beef inflated s*** but now that it’s over we will return to mid lol

Even tho 2020-2021 were goat years for rap lol

*Since 2012

The music is good too though

i can only get excited for so many future albums in one year

No? 2020 was a decent year for music but bffr, besides the underground, 2021 was weak as hell. Though, both of those years were better than 2023

I get what you mean but he’s been so good lately, and I don’t even necessarily like his 2020 and 2022 albums too much

naw, I don’t think 2024 will be better than 2013-2016

To each his own ig, i loved 2020, had wlr, motm3, EA, dark lane demo tapes etc

i enjoy ea and wlr but at this rate 2024 will eclipse it, and almost has already and we’re in may lol

Dude got excited quick cuz the drake metro future Kendrick beef lmao Chris brown n Quavo too, it was just nonstop disses for a bit but how they it seems over gna be boring af

Nah we need a new crop of rap superstars to take over like the 2016 xxl class

Haven’t been tapped in with Quavo and CB lmao

The music is fire is my point but a beef can elevate a year forsure

Idk if we can trust that Ye will release any other Vultures this year

first off, i don't 2016 was THAT special but we don't yet have the rap albums that rival anything from that year or even some the years past that one. but it's still very early.

but this is how i grade how good a year is, how many quality rap albums dropped within that year.

WSDTY was practically unlistenable, Vultures was trash, 21 album came and went

Only Drake can save 2024 now (Has already started to, with Family Matters)

Best year since 2013

If his next release is gonna be like FATD, keep.

Now is the perfect time for Kendrick to drop.

Delusional

Best yeat project my ass

It's still too early but 2022 still had the best overall rap albums of this decade.

Ramona Park, Her Loss, MMTBS, Drill Music In Zion, Heroes & Villains, It's Almost Dry, I Never Liked You, Cheat Codes, King's Disease 3, Melt My Eyez, NO THANK YOU, Sick!, Soul Sold Separately, Tana Talk 4, God Don't Make Mistakes, etc.

Ok for Q, Future, the beef and probably vince staples / gambino's new album but not for the rest
