f---, I forgot this album had It Was a Good Day on it as well. Top 10 most iconic songs of hip-hop, period. That alone deserves this album a 10!

6/10

I've always been mixed about Travis, in some parts he's a great curator at bringing in the right people to create something thoroughly enjoyable. On other parts it bugs the h--- out of me at how abysmal his rapping is, lacks purpose more often than not. Rodeo is both of those principles colliding, there are some undeniable head-nodders like Oh My/Dis Side and others where he's literally a sacrificial lamb offered to the guest who bodies him on each song (the aforementioned Oh My is very much an example of this too lol).

I can't lie, this still has some fun to it. He def addressed some of his notable weaknesses of creating and sticking with a theme like he did on Astro, but I still have to hold some of these flaws accountable on Rodeo.

10/10

One of the most impactful pieces of music I've ever listened to on a personal note, really defined my year in 2016. The wait for this was agonizing, Frank was thought to be a missing man, adding insult to injury was that hilarious stair-building promo he did for the equally brilliant Endless. I could tell from the skeketon of that project we were in for something special once Blonde came around. Once Nikes hit, you were packing your bags for an adventure into the surreal world of Frank Ocean.

Frank's writing has always been cryptic and equally descriptive, he combined that aptitude with a avant-garde approach to vocal pitch changes and ambient atmospheres, even abandoning basic song structures to give us something unique without it being overly complex. Each track realized it's purpose; they're personal & equally engaging, you still won't be able to understand the enigma that is Frank Ocean, but he humanized himself just enough to reach a cordial appreciation to his thoughts. No other contemporary R&B/Pop album sounds like this, few were brave enough to ever venture with their range the same way Frank did on Blonde. To me, this is one of the defining 3 albums of this decade.

I kinda feel the opposite to @Joshua Smoses I loved Blonde when it dropped and ranked it above Channel Orange at the time, but I found myself listening to it less and less over time and I almost never revisit it now. It’s still a beautiful album and I like it a lot, but it just didn’t have the longevity of his previous projects to me. This sounds kinda negative but I do like the album and it’s still an 8/10

One of thugs few 10/10 projects. Man trully already has a goat discog. Literally every song on this should of been a hit.

Best thug project by a long shot. Always thought he was overrated until this. But I really, really enjoy BTG. I've listened to it three times in the last two days and I still really enjoy it. 8/10

8.5/10
this really is a commendable album, my favourite thing about this album is how well skepta is able to match his energy to the aggressive sound of his beats
this is one of my most loved UK releases from the past few years
Favourite songs: Konnichiwa, It Ain't Safe, Man, Numbers, Lyrics

Skepta is really the only artist I can think of who's been able to translate the early 2000’s classic grime sound to an album format without changing it even remotely. Konnichiwa is gritty, real, and hilarious. Although I disagree with it being his best album, it’s still an 8.5/10

Was previously Future’s best album until The Wizrd came along. Pained R&B Future is my favourite form of Future, and this is him taking it to the extreme. Essential summer music.
9/10
