    I don’t think we should base these years off of singles and sales but more so quality and enjoyment. I love the releases of 2016 but 2024 edges out for me (even outside the beef) with the amount of great records to be released continuously whether mainstream or underground imo.

    @bmslhs 21 годину тому +4

    I feel like two different conversations are being had. 2024 hip hop didn't do the numbers like 2016 did but that's more to do with they way people are consuming music. Of course we had streaming in 2016 but the algorithm was not as bad as it is now. It's way easier to isolate yourself musically now and that has taken away some of the sense of community we once had that made us flock to albums when they drop. The Kendrick vs Drake beef was closest to achieving that moment again.

      If you remember correctly this was recorded prior to the live and Rod added extra context during the live. He said once he has to make his list he noticed he skipped over a lot of underground artists so as a whole it was a good year but mainstream wise 2016 still edges it out for him

    Marlon craft - while we're here
    Jid - the forever story

    great video guys - i do think maybe the better debate point in a sense would’ve been “2024 is the best year of hip hop since 2016”. i reckon within the 8 years, everyone would have it as a top 3 years. also important to remember that the beef should be included in comparison to any year because it’s been the biggest in a while. discounting that does the debate some disservice. but was still a great video, just wanted to share my thoughts rather that to come across critical. merry christmas gang

    I feel like this year was the best year musically because of the whole Kendrick & Drake beef, Kendrick dropped “GNX”, Future & Metro dropped “We Don’t Trust You”, ScHoolboy Q dropped one of his best albums since Blank Face LP which is “Blue Lips”, Vince Staples dropped “Dark Times”, Tyler the Creator dropped “Chromokopia”, Eminem dropped “The Death of Slim Shady” & the deluxe, Lupe dropped “Samurai”, LL Cool J dropped “The Force”, Doechii dropped “Alligator Bites Never Heal”, Ab-Soul dropped “Soul Burger”, J. Cole dropped “MDL” earlier this year and then dropped a audio series talking about his life and career then decides to drop his 3 classic mixtapes on DSPs & dropped 8 new bonus tracks off of 2014 FHD 10 year anniversary addition, not to mention the feature run this year even after his apology to Kendrick with the exception of “Grippy”, SZA just dropped her deluxe to “SOS” which is “Lana”, which should’ve been a whole separate album btw & Cordae dropped “The Crossroads”. This year was definitely not dry musically. All of my favorites were pretty much outside except A$AP Rocky & J.I.D who were the only 2 that I was hoping would drop an album this year but they didn’t. 2016 was definitely a memorable year, but I feel like this year was more interesting & fulfilling musically. 2015 was more of a better year musically than 2016 for me btw.

    2016 still wins but to me this year we one of the best years since then. I agree the first 2 months this year were kinda dull, but once March hit, it was pretty consistent. The beef definitely played a big part in this year's popularity, and around May and June, a lot of ppl were scared to drop bc that was the peak of the beef they didnt want their projects getting overshadowed lol. The last quarter of this year is why I think a lot of ppl wanna put it against 2016 bc SOOO many artists were dropping quality damn near everyweek.

Think you should definitely check them out as they have quite a socio-politically charged backstory that is one to rival Public Enemy's great backstory!

    why are sales a part of this conversation? We got quality work, too much I'll even say in the underground. The case for a BIGGER year is a reach, but BETTER def can be made for 2024
    if we constantly center this kind of convo around "big names" we're just stuck in this position where nothing can ever top past years. All the shit that came out under billy woods' label, Mach-Hommy, all the Blu joints, TDE comebacks, Lupe.... tf? Redman just dropped Muddy Waters Too today.
    This was a great year for ppl in tune, and that is what matters. I would rather have a lot to listen to than have the culture just waiting for "moments" where a bunch of normal people come in, have a good time, then leave. 2024 was like the late 90s and 00s where the mainstream kinda sucked, but the underground had a LOT of great shit.
    And that movement still LASTS to this day, unlike the come and go stuff. I dont need more Diddys and Hovs, that kind of "big names." We all saw this year what kind of road that bourgeois stuff goes down to.
    I want more ppl that can start stuff and build up over the years for their craft, not the bag. Idc what's poppin. That lost all meaning with Jack Harlow lol

    2024 is more important because of how bad hip-hop was musically for the past 3 years overall. This year has provided a crazy amount of albums this year. Basing what the "regular people" say isn't a good metric...because look how the standard has changed for quality from 2016-2024. The 1st 2 months were try, but we were flooded after Feb. And you have to take into account that no new artists have broken through from 2016-2024....so that speaks on how the state of hip-hop has deteriorated. 2016 had a stronger year, but yall gotta at least provide context to yall points. The metric for album sales has drastically changed. The labels began consolidating, and music industry has been down (sales wise). Quality is always going to matter & context def matters.

    As a hiphop music content creator , 2024 for a list of reasons is one of the best years in the 2000s. You guys are seriously over stating how 2024 had nothing but drake vs Kendrick. Make yall minds, is it quality or acclaim and sales?
    Cole dropped
    Damn near the whole TDE dropped
    Future dropped 3 albums
    All the mid major artists ransom to Benny bold etc dropped

    Y'all not giving any recognition to JPEGMAFIA's new album really hurt my insides. It honestly could very well be the best hip hop album of 2024
    I assume the crew haven't heard Joey Valence & Brae - No Hands yet but I feel it's 2nd best of the year. Those guys are whippin up mind blistering ballistic BANGERS. I understand missing these cuz of their studio transition period but these 2 projects seriously overpower all the other rap for this year and prop up 2024 big time.
    I'm also surprised they didn't mention these
    Mach Hommy - RICHAXXHAITIAN
    Freddie Gibbs - You Only Die 1nce
    Logic - Ultra 85
    Rapsody - Please Don't Cry
    Common & Pete Rock - The Auditorium

    Man the 40+ year old guys just dogged 2024 out. A complete bias throwing out Kendrick and Drake feud then proceeded to ish on tracks/albums that actually were good. When it comes to comparing these years you also gotta take into account that consuming music in 16 is wayyyyy different than it is in 24. People don’t listen to albums and stick with them anymore but the songs went crazy. The only reason I like 24 better is because of the feud but this year still stands a fighting chance without it

    I don't really understand what their criteria is. Is it albums that they liked, or albums that charted? I don't necesarilly care so much about the charts, but more so the quality of music that's been released in that year. If you liked a lot of the albums, that's what matters the most. How they perform on the charts never crosses my mind. I honestly don't know why it crosses anyones mind like that. If you like it, you like it.

      I don't know if it's a personal thing because of my age, but 2011 felt like a real epochal, changing-of-the-guard year. It was the year Kendrick, Tyler, A$AP Rocky, Danny Brown, Death Grips and Childish Gambino properly debuted, the year Drake really started blowing up with 'Take Care', and it kinda felt like the finale of Kanye's 'first era' with 'Watch the Throne'. It just felt like every month there was a record dropping from a fresh new artist with some radically different voice or sound, and a lot of those artists have become massive over the last decade.
