COMPLEX: The 10 best RAP albums of the past FIVE YEARS

[weezybab11]

the consensus is that the top 2 is on lock so only 10-3 matter


and if we're being honest, Take Care isn't really respected in hip hop, c3 ain't supposted to be on the list because complex only care about the albums released after Octobore 2008 (c3 was released before october ) and xxx should be higher.

TupacShaquer

cole world and born sinner ain't respected enough in hip hop to be considered as top 10 albums of the last 5 years


hip hop fans should understand that what THEY like =/= what is good or bad. I don't like mbdtf and gkmc, but they are objectively AMAZING, I fucking love Indicud, but I think it's only average according to my critical & objective point of view

Control System missing from there

This list
Kanye 3 times
No Cole
Take Care at 4
No NWTS
Complex

[weezybab11]

Cole doesn't belong to the list, even if you like him

Take Care is widely considered as good, not greatl, NWTS is widely considered as inferior than take care

Complex' lists have always been just something randomly put together

You think Yezzus was better than Born Sinner or even Cole World?

[weezybab11]

I hate yeezus, but if I had to be objective, yeah I'd say that it was better.

more cohesive, better lyrics, better production and it was a more complex and complete album than Born Sinner.
Born sinner had great production but it was very repetitive, it was decent imo

You think Yezzus was better than Born Sinner or even Cole World?

Yes it was. Especially Cole World. Shit was average.

[WeezYIsCraaazY]

As a rap album, My Beautiful doesn't even deserve to be on the top 10.

The only one deserving of the top 10 is good kid.

[Gman918]

Complex is usually a WOAT hip hop site so this list is pretty irrelevant. And to the people saying C3.. It's from 09-13.

Fuck all that blur the lines crap you're talkin, It's called evolution. Just because his beats didn't consist of BOOM BOOM TICK don't mean it wasn't Rap. He rapped, didn't he?
