Damn this is why I love the end of the year, lists that make it easy to catch up on what I missed.

This is always my favourite GAF thread of the year.

Naah, Zombie is too good. Though, if H-24 came out this year I might've chosen that instead.

Finishing up my list now, but does Ramriddlz/Venis count as hip-hop?

He's like halfway between being in the lane Fetty Wap is in and straight up dancehall/R&B. I think he's more of the latter but just wanna make sure because motherfuckers are putting Frank Ocean on their lists and shit.

[HiResDes]

I don't get all these complaints about Frank Ocean being on the Rap list. You guys actually listened to both albums? Half of both is Frank rapping or at least sing-rapping.

I don't think you know that rapping is breh


Edit: Also I'm editing my list just a little.

 

[Koozek]

I don't think you know that rapping is breh

Okay, maybe not half, but many songs have rap verses sprinkled throughout with half of some songs consisting of raps.

Examples on Blonde:
01. Nikes [from 3:00-4:00]
05. Solo [0:00-1:00, 1:53-2:50]
06. Skyline [0:35-0:57, 1:21-1:33]
09. Nights [0:00-1:40, 3:40-4:27]
10. Solo (Reprise) [0:00-1:28 - André solo track, but technically full Rap song]
15. Seigfried [3:28-4:26]
17. Futura Free [0:29-2:07, 2:50-4:26]

Total runtime: 60:08; Total time of Rap parts: ~11:39
=> ~20% Rap


Examples on Endless:
03. Alabama [0:07-0:40]
05. U-N-I-T-Y [0:00-2:53 - full Rap song]
07. Commes des Garcons [0:00-0:50]
12. Slide on Me [1:20-1:50]
13. Sideways [0:16-1:14]
18. Higgs [0:26-1:24]

Total runtime: 45:10 (including a lot of instrumental-only stuff); Total time of Rap parts: ~6:42
=> ~15% Rap


Now 15-20% might not sound like much, but because the parts are spread across the whole albums it feels pervasive throughout. Where do you draw the line nowadays with pretty much every rapper sing-rapping anyway? The only difference between these Frank Ocean albums and Chance or Drake albums is that Frank can sing well.

Spoiler

Okay, okay, I get it. It's R&B. Sorry.

Spoiler

Pull out the calculator to proove an album is Rap, brehs.

I intentionally avoided being strict about what falls within the genre. You listen to more hip-hop than most people. If you think it qualifies, I won't argue with you.

Album of the Year
1|Noname|Telefone
Noname has done some nice guest verses over the years, but none of them prepared me for Telefone. It covers a wider range of topics and emotions in a half hour than the average album does in twice the time. She's able to deliver the joy and grief in her coming of age gracefully. The production manages to stay consistent in both a qualitative and sonic level while still giving each song it's own distinct sound. With this album, Noname has emerged as the head of an exceptionally talented Chicago freshman class.

You can add Saba to the list of Chicago rappers more talented than Chance with half the recognition. His songwriting demonstrates an insight I don't expect from his peers. ComfortZone has a bunch of interesting song concepts that are aided by his willingness to shake up the typical rap song structure a bit. If Scum had come out this year it'd for sure be my SOTY.
