It says a lot that there were albums that I could have added but there just was no more space. Most of these albums should have been far better than they turned out to be and I hope these artistes return in the future even better:
1. U.S. Girls BLESS THIS MESS:
after a long stretch of consistency, alas, a stumbling block.
2. Shabazz Palaces ROBED IN RARENESS:
half-baked at best if we are being honest.
3. Kevin Abstract BLANKET:
if you went looking for bops then prepare to be sorely disappointed.
4. Genesis Owusu THE STRUGGLER:
a bit all over one monochromatic idea and missing the restless mania.
5. Killer Mike MICHAEL:
we waited over a decade so we should have got EPIC.
6. Shamir HOMO ANXIETATEM:
all hot rolls come to an end eventually.
7. Kelela RAVEN:
maybe a bit too casual.
8. Billie Marten DROP CHERRIES:
expected way more.
9. El Michels Affair & Black Thought GLORIOUS GAME:
not sure how this failed to gel but it just feels as if Black Thought just did not bring his A game.
10. Spencer Krug I JUST DREW THIS KNIFE:
I judge him to a ridiculously high standard, and this sounds like he really is no longer trying.
