    This s--- is trending all over twitter and other social media, so thought that we might as well bring it here.

    Some people are splitting it up into years (freshmen, Soph, Junior, Senior), some just are naming any four albums through their years in high school.

    class of 2012

    Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon

    Eminem - Recovery (lmao)

    Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

    Wiz Khalifa - Rolling Papers

    B.o.B. - Adventures of Bobby Ray
    Lupe Fiasco - Lasers
    MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
    Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad
    Gnarls Barkley - Odd Couple
    T.I. - Paper Trail
    Drake - So Far Gone
    Drake - Thank Me Later
    Kanye West - 808s and Heartbreak
    Hopsin - Raw
    Young Fathers - Tape One

    I missed out on a lot of good s--- that was released but then revisited classics like Kendrick's albums and so on after the fact. As you can see the albums were just mainly from exposure on Aus radio stations and then some random woke s--- that has aged like milk since then.

    Young Fathers was an amazing find and probably one of the catalysts for me to dig for music since then

    That is what I meant, like four albums you loved that defined your taste that also came out while you were in high school, but people kind of just listed their four favorite albums of all time while in high school
