We constantly shyt on rap nowadays and its departure from the essence. But in 2011 which was somewhat of a down period in my life I must say that hip hop was very good. shyt kept me grounded. shyt was almost on 2003 level. In a time where us rap fans have become mad fickle and antsy its remarkable how much some of the albums mixtapes dropped in that year can still get bumped today. Some of these jawns have really and truly stood the test of time. I've had this song on repeat for the last hour:
A classic. The whole mixtape is perhaps my favourite release in the last 5+ years. On the same level as MBDTF. Ambition and Watch the Throne for me. Almost all of which came out in 2011. Saigon's album finally dropped too. Quality music. Here's a summary of some of the releases that occurred in case yall forgot:
There was such an influx of talent and quality music. One that I hadnt experienced in so long. Even the Carter 4 was in rotation, shyt was filled with bangers upon bangers man.
Let's appreciate this year...hold it in high regard.
