🐐’ed rap and rap-adjacent albums

My top 30 rap and rap-adjacent albums of all time that shaped my music taste into what it is today.

  1. Frank Ocean

  2. Tyler, The Creator

  3. Kanye West

  4. Lil Uzi Vert

  5. Future

    Im getting tired of writing these. Best Future album

  6. Young Thug

    Thug's most unique album. His vocal range transforms and evolves into a voice that doesn't even sound like him. This is also an incredibly special album because only thug could make it.

  7. The height of the new "underground". With Summrs being at the forefront, this album has infatuating beats with beautiful melodies, and an incredibly somber undertone. Summrs touches on everything from addiction, deaths within his family, heartbreak, etc. on this tape, and I think that's why it feels authentic.

  8. Travis Scott

    It seems I have a tendency to like artists early work more, and a tendency to love music with psychedelic elements/ever evolving songs. I love the rawness of this album, whether or not he’s talking about anything, it takes you on a journey. It’s a rollercoaster and kinda feels like you’re at a…. rodeo..

  9. A$AP Rocky

    Rocky’s masterpiece. With hints of classic NY Boom Bap lyricism and jazzy yet psychedelic beats and melodies, this album feels like the winter season.

  10. 8
    UnoTheActivist

    The encapsulation of a “vibe”. In my opinion, uno’s best album. 8 offers a unique taste into mumble rap. With Somber lyrics, hypnotizing beats, and a versatile selection of songs. One of my favorite album that’s came out since 2020.

  11. Kanye’s masterpiece, in my opinion. Years of good music but a horrible public reputation. This album solidified his creativity and musical groundbreaking abilities. Also an incredibly dark yet beautiful, like the name suggests lol, album that hits different.

  12. Lil Uzi Vert

    LUV is rage came out at a pivotal moment for me. This album encapsulates a certain feeling that is unlike any other. Being this is Uzis first official project, it’s also raw, dark, and gritty. My favorite album of all time.
