Also for an album that I was told had weak production and people dissed when it dropped on rap twitter, Big Fish Theory sure has made a lot of year end lists 
I feel random shade from a certain poster I quoted in here so I undapped his post. Bless.

King Krule and Fever Ray's albums are amazing.
I feel like DAMN is a...damn good album but I'm a bit baffled by the AOTY accolades. I understand why people love it of course - it's a dope album with bangers, singles, and a couple "real rap" tracks. But I figured the more mainstream sound would hurt it. It's nearly getting the same praise TPAB received, and that album was far better. But again...I will say DAMN appeals to a lot of people who may not have liked TPAB.
CTRL is a good album. Not great. It has VERY high highs but also some songs that are just whatever; not bad but I don't listen to them when I can replay Broken Clocks/Weekend/Drew Barrymore/etc.
Ultimately TDE won this year and it has completely changed my idea of what they can do. Kendrick is gucci now - he has the catalog and hype to continue doing area tours. SZA had a huge year and will get bigger next time; she can go wherever she wants next. Q had a hugely successful tour and has radio hits. Rashad had a nice tour. I remember Top/Punch talking about doing a TDE tour years ago. Dreamville beat them to the punch, with Cole taking his label on multiple arena tours. But now it almost seems stupid not to do a label tour. They have the artists to do it, their own security, their own DJs, etc etc etc. This is some Death Row shyt.

I feel like their about two years due on a TDE tour. That shyt would gross ALL the money
Damn is by far my pick for best album of the decade.
I dismissed this album and shytted on it . Went back to it and thought it was absolutely groundbreaking
Really love how hes paying homage to LA's 70 soul and black rock. Keep doing your thing kendrick, you genius
