    logic is inoffensive to me but the album wouldn't make my top 50.

    @Tha Story i liked it, probably 35-40 range.

    Pinata and Run the Jewels 2 are just incredible, easily top 5 albums of the year.

    Piñata still #1 for me, really can't decide between Dark Comedy or RTJ2 for #2 though. Very good list.

    A good list all things considered (including additional factors.) I think Pinata is the best album I've heard all year, RTJ2 is even better than the first one. Dark Comedy is a great album no doubt but I wouldn't put it any better than those 2, or Blasphemy (by Ras Kass)

    Happy to see Vince Staples up there. 7eventhirty deserves a mention because that was a great album as well. MMG (Mello Music Group) had a great year. Lowkey a lot of great albums from there this year. Problem is most of you won't hear most of them, like that fool @reservoirGod .

    Word, I haven't listened to much music at all this year.

    I'll work my way through this list over the next few weeks though.

    Yeah Pinata is also my favourite so far, only heard RTJ2 once, yesterday, but it sounded great on first listen.

    @WPG as someone who only has time to listen to mainstream releases (due to not knowing or following enough underground rap), I was completely lost at your list :'(

    I am going to download the Dark Comedy album and see what I'm missing though.
