    My faves:
    Common - Let Love
    Boogie - Everything's for Sale
    Anderson .Paak - Ventura
    Bob - Southmatic
    Binary Star - Lighty Ears Apart
    Ed Sheeran - No6

    In that order.

    HMs are Bandana, 4 Real 4 Real and Rap or go to the League.

    I don't think 2019 has lived up to what 2018 offered but it was still a great year. Very much looking forward to 2020!

    As far as albums are concerned, I wasn’t too satisfied with that many releases.

    Ventura was very good, might get my AOTY
    WWCD is tied with Ventura atm for me
    TM104 was faithful to the Thug Motivation style
    Hollywood’s Bleeding was also good
    E-40’s Practice Makes Paper was good but I’m from the Bay and grew up with that hyphy s--- so I’m biased
    The Lost Boy and Born 2 Rap are very similar. There’s great material but half of it is not for me
    That Dreamville album was a major disappointment as a whole project, the music is the exact opposite problem of Born 2 Rap
    Port Of Miami 2 also disappointed

    Can I consider the Carter V OG leak as an album from this year? That s--- still gets plays @Big Cuntry

    Heard too little albums to actually make a top 10. Did hear a lot of songs I enjoyed a lot, but as far as albums go.. I dunno. I guess Future, Denzel Curry, the J Cole project and Anderson Paak album.

    Summer albums from pitbull and becky g were nice for the vacation though!

    80% of the artists listed i've never heard of before.

    How do you guys keep up with all this s---? Lol

    I miss the days when T.I., Kanye, Game, Wayne and a whole bunch of the big names were in their prime. I didn't have to swift through a bunch of garbage to find something good. I knew when they dropped something it would at least be worth listening to and I could find songs that I would enjoy.

    In the past 5-10 years, it seems like a thousand of new rappers have emerged. With Youtube and all the different streaming services it's easier than ever to get your stuff out there. While it is a good thing for content creators and artists, it also means there's a lot more junk. s--- that would never fly with a decent record label.
