I've been digging into hip-hop albums I've never heard before starting with year 2000 and working my way up. This site’s been pretty useful. Found a few gems.

Goated website, it has algorithmic suggestions too based on your ratings/likes! Fun way to discover albums or hear some new stuff from the current year that may have went passed your radar

Oh, that's cool. I’m definitely going to create an account.

I really like that they include both the subgenre and overall score. Having the subgenre listed makes it way easier to narrow things down, especially with metal, but even with hip-hop too.

Did somebody say Stake?

I’m honestly surprised that so many people didn’t vibe with the Big Boi album given how much love OutKast gets.

Maybe next round album will be better. Personally, I actually prefer this album over most of the OutKast projects.

The album is cool and all but not many records can top ATLiens, Aquemini and Stankonia. Atleast for me. Those aged insanely well too.

I've always found OutKast a bit overrated or hit or miss but Aquemini and Stankonia are fire albums. The rest I can I live without lol

It's going to be hard for any Outkast or Big Boi album to surpass this masterpiece

The user/critic scores is also how I gave each album their seeding placement in the 2024 album bracket I did, plan to do the same for 2025

I can’t get into RYM tbh, I feel like AOTY is much more smooth. Maybe I just wasn’t looking at RYM right
