    a few albums i haven't heard yet, but i like ranking a lot.

    BTG as a number 1 placement will def turn heads, but it's every bit as good as d--- or 4:44 to me so it's warranted.

    The top three criticisms I've seen of this list are

    3. No Logic :lmaooo: (vintage r/hhh)
    2. No Tyler (fair, but album wasn't out when we made this and it took a little longer to publish than thought, otherwise I would have added it)
    1. Thug being #1 (expected)

    I'm cool with that.

    A couple interviews, a couple features, a couple reviews. We're taking it slow and letting it be ran by social media posts as we build up more regular writers, but my goal is to have 1-3 articles a week to start. We'll probably post breaking news but don't wanna burn out like the sxn80 blog did, blogging is too time consuming to do for free.

    If you have any ideas for articles let me know.

    Give it a go! I love the sounds on it. And Smino is a really versatile rapper/singer.

    It does get a bit dragged out towards the end of the album but the last track is a highlight for me.

    Dope publication name. :allears:

    Nice to see Step Brothers make the list. Good enough for me. I'd highly rec Elucid's Valley of Grace if you haven't heard it.

    I definitely would like to contribute sometime @BigCountry, I think I actually sent you some writing samples awhile back for something.

    Your piece is well written too, although AABA should be on there and d--- should be #1 (I do agree 100% with your assessment of it tho)

    Why is everyone mad about OP's rankings :lmaooo:

    Flower Boy was alright but this was written before it came out, get out your feelings nobody wants to listen to your UK rappers in 2017, we want thug and kung fu kenny

    Admittedly never listened to Oddisee's new album. Stormzy I haven't been able to get into, and this list was written before flower boy dropped, otherwise it woulda been on there.

    buddy you can't even make a list of 17 albums :laff:

    you're furious that a genre muddied concisely executed concept album by young thug is ranked higher than a safe and brief album by gibbs.

    the gibbs album is good, the thug album is great. the list reflects that pretty well imo
