Fuck, forgot to vote.

Well, great list anyway. Hard to dispute this (though I still need to give Tribe a proper listen).

Isaiah was my #1.

Solid list. Only one I haven't heard on that list is Noname. Guess I'll be checking it out then.

Also I'm super happy that Young Thug is in the list. What a fun album that is.

Forgot to vote and it may have cost blank face which was in my top 3.

But happy to see that and Atrocity getting recognition. SS3 >> Jeffrey too

First off, that "Pick Up The Phone" cover is flames.

Secondly, Tribe deserved it. I didn't love the album as some other people on here, but it certainly wowed the hell out of me when it came out. It's truly something special, and I hope Tribe find a way to live on after Phife's death. If anything, this album showed how much hip-hop needs Tribe and, more importantly, how hip-hop needs Q-Tip back behind the boards, making beats.

Thirdly, Kanye may be a fucking L magnet now, but you can't deny "The Life of Pablo" contains some of the best songs of his career, despite it being a shitty album. As a pop album, one full of disparate songs that don't connect, it's great. As a Kanye West record, it's pretty mediocre. Still though, "Famous"? "Ultralight Beams"? "Waves"? "Fade"? "Saint Pablo"? "No More Parties in LA"? All of those songs are brilliance, it's just a shame they had to be attached to a mediocre album concept.

Good ass job, guys


Pablo is a very schizophrenic album, but that does seem to be the point of the album. It's about the different parts of Kanye shining through a different points. You can tell it's a very personal album in that sense. Some people find the concept is half baked, but I find that a bit misguided considering it still has a more focal theme than most albums that released this year. I've always just embraced the diversity of the album, in terms of content and sound, and just appreciated it in that sense. I don't think there is a single bad track on the record.

I think it makes a lot more sense if you think of it as a really good album (tracks 1-13) with a really good EP tacked on the end for good measure (16-20).

One of my favourites of the year, and far and away the best live show I went to, but it's a stretch to call Malibu or Yes Lawd hip-hop albums despite featuring hip-hop tracks. It's neo-soul more than anything.

I haven't heard half of this stuff, but will now. Hard not disagree with Drake getting letdown of the year.

It's a solid album. And Kanye even if his lyrical ability is sometimes questionable always brings solid production ideas and execution.

I personally enjoy all the songs on their expect maybe Wolves. Which I skip more often that not.

'Real Friends' makes even more sense now in the shadow of his mental breakdown.

Waves is hands down a banger. Even Fade which at first seems so throwaway just vibes so well.

Still I remember several people voting for it and the thread runner saying he would count it.

I honestly do not see the hype around Kendrick's album, I thought is was pretty bad overall. No clear direction and a lot of non-rap type songs where he does this weird bad singing voice that made me cringe. Also for rookie of the year I think there are way better candidates than noname like 21 Savage or Lil Uzi (if he counts as a rookie).

actually scratch that, I don't want to hear the justifications. it'll just make me depressed and 2017 just started. gotta stay positive.

Malibu had 17 points putting it in 13th place (tied with Coloring Book).
Yes Lawd! had 5 points putting it in 26th place (tied with 5 others).
Paak had 3 points for Artist of the Year, putting him in third place.
Knxledge one point for Produce of the Year putting him in fourth place (tied with 4 others).
The full data is in the spreadsheet.
