FishScale probably....OB4CL II a close second

I will say that Summertime '06 gave me hope for new hip-hop, or at least Vince Staples lol

i'm sittin' here tryin' to remember the last time i was really excited bout a new album....

i was excited when news of the new dre hit and then right before i was listenin' to it but then when i was listenin' to it i had mixed feelings about it

it's grown on me a bit since it's released but i wouldn't count that experience

I been listening to that Dr Dre Compton album pretty heavy lately. I edited out all the long ass intros and skits myself so it goes straight to the songs.

Rap?

Lupe Fiasco's Pharaoh Height 2/30 Mixtape. talk about some shyt that came from out of NOWHERE. Lyrically and conceptually brilliant shyt. From the opening track with the Metal Gear V sample (okay, New Order sample too), to the dazzling ass storytelling ending track, Lupe danced all over this shyt and dared us all to dispute his claims at GOATness.



Non-Rap?

Recreational Love by The Bird and The Bee. I've been a huge fan of the group since their first album in 2006. Not many people have heard of them. They make what I like to call "Quirk Pop" music. Very sparse, very bare bones. Percussion and keys, mostly. They did 3 albums and a Hall and Oates cover album. lol It's only two people, Inara George sings and Greg Kurstin produces.

But trust me when I say, you HAVE heard Greg Kurstin's work over the years. Since that first Bird and the Bee album, he's produced:

Lily Allen's entire "It's Not Me, It's You" album
Sia's entire "We Are Born" and songs on "1000 Forms of Fear" albums, including "Chandelier" and her entire newest album "This is Acting"
Wrote and Produced for Lana Del Rey
"Stronger" for Kelly Clarkson
Co-Wrote and Produced "Hello" for Adele


anyway, Recreational Love showed how much he had REALLY grown as a producer and writer from then until now. It's interesting watching writers and producers work when they're making their OWN music for themselves.

Easily one of my favorite albums of the last 2 years.



erh... sorry. I don't get to talk about my favorite music enough. :to:
