[QUOTE=ThatCrazyGmanV2;46965292]tbh I voted for death grips a couple times for laughs[/QUOTE] I wasn't going to vote but the guy was whining about a campaign to get Taylor Swift to win it so I voted for Taylor Swift because she's actually awesome anyway.

so Lupe Fiasco's new album is actually real good. I'm surprised by how much I like it considering that F&L2 was a trainwreck it also made me a Ty Dolla $ign fan so there's that

Also i listened to MF DOOM a bit, seems like he is totally my jam.

People who use IEM's Im curious. What do you think of burning in your earphones? There is some debate going on about this. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/tick.png[/img] - I think it improves sound quality on a new pair. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/cross.png[/img] - I think it doesn't improve sound quality / I think it damages the earphones. [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/information.png[/img] - Not sure / Haven't heard about it.

[QUOTE=erfinjerfin;46974103]all of these albums are from after 2000 wtf this list is absurdly weak, most of these are not hip hop "essentials"[/QUOTE] That's because it's the modern list. [URL="http://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/1irgch/the_second_round_of_essentials_voting_is_now/"]Here's the classic list.[/URL]

[media]http://soundcloud.com/dapl/orphan-purple-crows-5n4ppn9-7ur713[/media] DAPL either suddenly upped his production game after sounding exactly the same for like 7 years, or he got someone else to make the beat for him, because this is not the DAPL I know

If you're really into pop rap then go for it, but as someone whose new to the genre it'll really warp someone's first reactions.

Bjork's new album leaked, though I don't know if it's a final version. The last song is particularly low quality.

wtf it's already released??? [url]http://pitchfork.com/news/58111-bjorks-new-album-vulnicura-is-out-now/[/url] and so the artwork is too: [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/45/Bjork_Vulnicura.jpg[/img] ahhh my mind was not ready :( [editline]20th January 2015[/editline] holy shit the first track is really homogenic like. this is beautiful!

[QUOTE={TFS} Rock Su;46972688]What are some good hiphop albums to start with?[/QUOTE] It really, really depends on whether you're more interested in classic hip-hop or more modern stuff. If you're interested in classic stuff, the albums AK'z posted are phenomenal albums that every hiphophead has to have listened to. If you're looking for newer stuff, there's a shit-ton more variety. For classic albums pre-2000, look at the hiphopheads [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/1irgch/the_second_round_of_essentials_voting_is_now/"]classic essentials list[/URL]. It's missing a lot of really important albums and it criminally neglects a lot of super-awesome 80's albums (and has zero Run-DMC which is awful), but it has plenty of important and influential albums worth listening to, especially for 90's hip-hop. If you're looking into more important and influential modern albums that won't sound as dated, check out the [URL="https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/1imyre/the_first_round_of_essentials_voting_is_now/"]current essentials list[/URL]. This one is arguably worse than the classic essentials list, but it's another good start to give you ideas of what type of hip-hop you like. There's a fuckton of variety in hip-hop and you really have to look around to find what you like. The only modern album of the last 5 years I'd say is absolutely essential to listen to is Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - there's plenty of other phenomenal albums like Kendrick Lamar's GKMC and Drake's Take Care, but it really depends on the type of hip-hop you like.

Madlib's production style is similar and it was one of the better albums of 2014. MF DOOM also collab'd with a new-school rapper named Bishop Nehru for a short album, NehruvianDOOM. I didn't really care for it, but it's worth a listen if you like DOOM.

This is it, this is the kind of Bjork I love, the kind of album where she personally invites me into her life.

[video=youtube;OrR1TGQY20Y]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrR1TGQY20Y[/video] Saint Pepsi packs some serious funk in it's pants. never fails to make me feel like i'm having a good-ass day.

Azelia Banks pisses me off because she never really delivers considering she starts on pretty much everyone.

Watch the Throne and Cruel Summer were the albums that took me the longest to complete, because I just kept wanting to go back to Niggas in Paris, and Mercy.

[QUOTE={TFS} Rock Su;46972688]What are some good hiphop albums to start with?[/QUOTE] I personally like Death Certificate by Ice Cube, 3 Feet High and Rising by De La Soul, Brooklynati by Tanya Morgan, Things Fall Apart by The Roots, ATLiens by Outkast But for whatever reason, I think I prefer to listen to individual hip-hop songs on a playlist rather than entire albums.

so D'Angelo's Black Messiah is the most chill album of 2014 It's addictive

[QUOTE=.Isak.;46985015]so D'Angelo's Black Messiah is the most chill album of 2014 It's addictive[/QUOTE] yeah, it's pretty damn good. which tracks did you dig the most?

[QUOTE=Eyefunk;46985041]yeah, it's pretty damn good. which tracks did you dig the most?[/QUOTE] Really Love is phenomenal, I've definitely played that the most. I like both parts of Back to the Future, too, and Betray My Heart. The entire album is great, though - hardly a bad song on the whole thing.
