how is it 'not fair' if you have the audacity to name it as the sequel

continuations will always be judged by the bar set by its predecessors regardless of the former's quality

Tyler's Wolf, Kanye's Yeezus, Danny Brown's Old. But I gotta agree, MMLP2 is a good album. I think Em's critics will always compare it with MMLP2, which just isn't fair imo. It's a great album, but it will always be compared to MMLP1, instead of other more recent artists/albums.

Old, Born Sinner, Acid Rap, Yeezus even. NWTS close, especially if you include the promo tracks that didn't quite make it on like 5AM in Toronto.

Action Bronson's new mixtape is out but I haven't had a chance to sit down and listen to it yet.

you missed out Magna Carta Holy Grail. The album is not super solid but suprisingly enjoyable. It's definitely less corny & commercial than some of the track in MMLP2

MGHC was mediocre. Solid beats, but most of Hov's lyrics were average (at best), you could obviously hear how complacent he's gotten.

most of these are good (except Yeezus), but none of them are great imo. MCHG would indeed come close, but didn't that come out in late 2012?

andryau, you're forgetting how truly dire Wayne's I am not a Human Being II is, but yeah, MCHG (and it did come out in 2013) wasn't good, and I say that as a huge fan of Jay Z.

I thought Yeezus was incredible.

Yeezus: Daring, challenging, some songs are brilliant, overall an interesting creation
MCHG: Tired, inessential, rather pointless, some songs are ok, overall a boring creation

I guess if you are really conservative MCHG has the positives and Yeezus the negatives...
Yeah, well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man

I just feel like Jay-Z doesn't really care about making good music anymore and is just cashing in. Like not only was MCHG lazy but his guest verse in pound cake is just him rhyming cake with cake like 20 times

let it be noted, all roads lead to Kanye

Yeezus is a jam packed 40 mins of cutting edge experimental production by a proven musical heavyweight and if you give it a few more tries and still cant appreciate any of the tracks you just aren't advanced enough.

MMLP2 is classic Eminem, and he always uses the whole CD. There are tracks to stand tall with his classics and goofier ones that will become cult favorites. Since he gives us so much content I tend to overlook a little airiness in Em's studio albums, so a few lame tracks is basically nbd. If the bonus track is good though, MMLP2 will overtake Yeezus for best rap album this year for me.

Kendrick's GKMC is the only other that's in the same league this year.

MCHG very zzzzzz

meh, i love the production on MCHG and while Jay is not exactly spitting lyrical miracle bars on it, i do think he has interesting things to say on the album that haven't really been talked about much in HipHop cause he's in a very different position now. but i can see how you could think it's boring, and it does have a huge weakness in those last two tracks which are downright terrible. Yeezus... is it creative? absolutely. but i find it totally unlistenable, it's noise and not music to me. and you can't tell me Kanye's lyrics on that one are any better than those of MCHG. saying I AM A GOD 100 times is not dope.

GKMC came out in 2012. but yeah that's clearly the best rap album of recent years.

no but with Kanye at least the subject matter is ridiculous enough and the production is good enough that it covers it up. With Kanye you never really went to him for lyricism, you can't exactly say the same about Jay Z. The production on Yeezus is unorthodox but it doesn't make it bad. I ended up really liking it.

like,betteroffDEAD is the best hiphop album(well ok its a mixtape actually but w/e) that came out this year along with twelve reasons to die and doris imo.
but thats just my taste
also Ka's Nights Gambit is really solid as well.
Mellowhigh dropped last week and is okish.
Some people really love Lords of Flatbush but personally I think there are more bad tracks on that mixtape than good ones.

old,mchg and yeezus are my top 3 let downs.

So much to listen to and relisten to. I meant to dive into old, 12 reasons and betteroffDEAD (i've listened to the first 2 once) more, but then I got distracted by MF DOOM and have spent the last month listening to Mm.. Food, Vaudeville Villain and Key to Kuffs. I regret nothing.
