The Melodic Blue not making it out of round 1 is brutal
its garbage
@@2short463 you’ve def never heard it
the house is burning is also a really good album too so i cant be too mad at it
@@2short463 😒Your comment is garbage.
Bruh the melodic blue is actually a great album ppl should listen to it to see a future giant in keem
It's so nice to see The Forever Story get it's flowers 👏👏
Literally everyone gives that album flowers
@@SomeKanyeFan Its imo underrated numbers wise.
@@SomeKanyeFan “literally everyone” the Grammys?
@lukaztek982 ya but its getting its flower from the rap community numbers are a useless measurement
@@josedabigbrain3667 yeah but would still be nice to see JID get the numbers and mainstream attention he deserves.
So many 2020’s albums have had incredible replay value, especially Heroes & Villains and The Off Season
top 15 albums of the decade
I get that sometimes you don't listen to an album much after it comes out but this feels like such a "damned by faint praise" comment. Like "I can name at least two albums from this decade that are good enough to at least listen to sometimes"
Alfredo & The House Is Burning is better than both those albums
@@thedon0516 have I said they weren’t? Alfredo is my favourite album of the decade, but it’s replay value isn’t as good as the two albums I named…
@@man4437 what I mean is, I listen to these two albums at least once every other week, which is more than any other album from this decade.
This was fun. Makes me want to go listen to these again and do my own bracket.
Facts bro
I didn’t expect Smiling with no Teeth! one of the most overlooked albums of the last couple years. super charismatic and likable while having substance
didn't expect that to be included at all. great album.
@@DAVECHER dave!! i agree, although i question their genre-assignment as it is not really rap i think so much as it is RnB.
@Lucas Crowe yeah that's what I thought too. still cool to see it included though.
Melodic blue getting bounced first round was a heartbreaker
The forever story is definitely my rap album of the 2020’s so far
1:52 Savage on Walk em down is absolutely crazy. Especially with the little piano in the background it just hits so hard.
Damn, no Sometimes I Might Be Introvert? That’s definitely my favourite hiphop album of the decade so far
Easily in my opinion aswell. Little simz has 3 albums that could already be seeen as classics in my opinion.
38:54
@@danielguerrero5292 oh okay fair enough. That gave even more respect than i already had towards Them! Thats a fantastic album.
@@danielguerrero5292 I didn’t catch that bit! Thank you for pointing it out

Rare by nas being a not great song is an insane take imo
It absolutely is. Rare is in my top 3 favorite Nas songs of the 2020's lmao
Fr like wtf is he saying I was so confused
Possibly the best song on the album (alongside Store Run)
Love the RTJ love. Feel like mainstream rap fans don’t give RTJ enough credit. One of the best discography, no misses.
Facts. My favorite is Rtj 2 though.
You know how you guys do album reviews, you should do artist reviews, you can use the same thing you rank them on (Artist performance, production, content, etc.) but it’s with their entire discography. And if you do this your first one should be Kendrick.
They Kendrick d riders
They dickride Kendrick lmfao
@@thefaceofunemployment1373 i wonder if people were calling mj fans meat riders back in the day…
@@YourGuyWedge then almost everybody was a d rider back then.. 😳
Youre insame, many people can win over kdot; Lupe, Andree 3k, Rakim, Jay Z, Eminem, Doom, Blackthought, and Nas.
My Top 10 of 2020s so far:
Alfredo by Freddie Gibbs
Mr Morale by Kendrick
Melt my Eyez by Denzel
Forever Story by JID
SIMBI by Little Simz
Circles by Mac Miller
Miles by Blu
RTJ4 by Run the Jewels
LP! by JPEGMAFIA
KD2 by Nas
W taste
Pusha T new album is fire too
@@dionb7584 overated album
@@rogue9230 definitely not
You liked kd2 over kd3?
KD3 on repeat
Legends never die deserved to at least make the bracket
ridiculous that it didnt
Be quiet dawg
I don't know if my comment will be read but you gotta start doing fav type videos. Kinda similar to your top 10 albums of the year videos. Because these videos are the ones that really give us, viewers, ur taste and what u like free from any objectivity, which is my fav content by u guys because it gives me an idea on what u guys really like and as a result gets me excited to dive into these albums/ artists' discographies. I hear u often saying "objectively this objectively that" which is definitely not wrong but it kinda gets boring with time knowing what ur gonna pick in any tier list or bracket video because u pick the "objectively" right choice. For example, your top 10 rap albums of all time video was so dope but it would've been even more exciting in my opinion if it was Our Favorite Rap Albums or Our Favorite Hip Hop Artists. Anyway, great content as always and u have been my fav youtube channel for a while now.
Rare from KD2 is a great song
i need a college park review
Keep pumping out that content fellas! NFR 4 Lyfe
the house is burning over The Melodic Blue is crazy💀
Saba’s album should’ve been in this bracket
Few Good Things it is
The best album of the decade - Sometimes I might be introvert wasn't even included
I agree this is the best album of the decade so far and it doesn't get talked about enough
they didn't include it because they knew it was gonna win (38:54)
@@lakipalaniappan i hadn't arrived at that moment yet. It s cool to see that they acknowledge its greatness
@@lakipalaniappan having that album over TFS is crazy. TFS wipes imo. (Little Simz is definitely fire tho)
i think it's controversial that you have KD2, but not KD3
amazing video alfredo vs the forever story is an insane matchup would love to see this but with 2000's albums such as the eminem show, man on the moon carta 3 etc
How could they not include the 4x platinum album MY TURN 😭😭
Sales don't equal to quality. This mf don't learn🤦
on god
Even if they did include it basically every trap album on this bracket is better than it.
@@zachsteele6964 I and many others would beg to differ.
@@bradleygraham7355 yall gon be begging for a while
Something told me CMIYGL was gonna go against SIMBI but SIMBI wasn’t even on here but I’m so sad to see it lose first round to MMESYF but that’s a damn good album from Zel. I couldn’t bring myself for Tyler to lose to it though if it was up to me.
You should do an all time mixtape bracket, would love to see match ups like Da Drought 3 vs Faces
A bracket you guys should do soon is: Albums We’ve Reviewed Bracket… would be dope to see your guys’ opinion and if it’s changed since these albums came out
Damn this channel is so underrated
Picking between forever story and melt my eyes is like picking between mom and dad
Everything else can wait, NFR just posted a new bracket
I can always count on you guys for consistency
2020s have been such great years for lyrical rap especially last year, but I wonder if trap is gonna take over this year or what kind of rap will take over
Rap will obviously, trap recently has been declining in terms of the quality (with the exception of H&V)
I have a feeling pluggnb might become the next big thing like rage, like recently with the Da Biggest Bird memes and the Uzi Watch This remix getting so mainstream
Rap-bending will take over. Basically people testing out sounds to push the genre forward
No way Lu just said Rare off KD2 was trash brooo.
W on the Smiling With No Teeth praise though!
Y’all should do a “Best Verse” bracket!
This bracket is crazy, so many unexpected but well-placed matchups. Boldy James is underrated af, all of his albums since Price of Tea could have made the list
CMIYGL and MMESYF is kinda fucked tho, probably the best hip hop albums from the past 2 years
im surprised that sometimes i might be introvert wasnt here
This going to be a banger video when i watch it on break.
Alfredo is just amazing bro
SIMBI definitely album of the decade so far! Respect!
I looked at the bracket for 5 minutes trying to find SIMBI
The house is burning one of the greatest soul rap albums of all time
W taste
One of my favorite of the decade so far. I really really hope we won't have to wait so long for another project from him
loved the vid when is best rap albums from each year coming out again? yall gotta do one for 1990's that 1996 year is probably the best in rap way to stacked
Y'all really feel like rare is a skip for kdII? I do think there are skips on here like epmd 2 or yktv, but i actually really enjoy rare and think it it one of the stronger songs on the project.
Manger on McNicholes by Boldy James might be the Best Rap album of the 2020s so far. The closest album to being as concise and grand as TPAB. Listen to it if you haven’t.
Killing Nothing by Boldy James is my choice for best rap album of 2020s. That album is 🔥too though
agree 100%
Wow you missed the actual best albums to come out since 2020. Nas’ King’s Disease and Magic series. Wtf
thank god you mensioned little simz at the end lol
I love that you said that about SIMBI at the end! Respect
a fire suggestion would be more free smokes some interesting matchups would be
The forever story vs MMESFY
TPAB vs illmatic
ready to die vs Marshall mathers LP
444 VS DAMN.
Fire matchups
surprised u didn't include circles, would be up there for me, great bracket still tho
House is Burning over Melodic Blue is insane
it's wild
Love your videos dont ever stop
DONDA was my favourite of the decade along with LP!
Crazy it didn’t even make it out the 1st round smh
My top 10 of the decade :
Alfredo - Freddie Gibbs and ALC
God don't make mistakes - Conway the Machine
LP! - JPEGMAFIA
The Forever Story - JID
SIMBI - Lil Simz
MMATBS - Kendrick Lamar
H*tler wears Hermes 8 - side B - Westside Gunn
MMESYF - Denzel Curry
DMIZ - Lupe
BTTIGTP - Injury Reserve
Sick list bro! Especially having Little simz on the list!
@@Waluigi-vr4qz actually there is one thing I’m going to change now, instead of pray for Paris from Gunn i think HWH8 part B is actually the better project of his. If you haven’t listened to it you must. It’s incredible
@@all-caps3927 i might give it a try.
W for having Conway on that list
@@ronaldoisbetter71927 he's so underrated I had to give him credit
So happy you included smiling with no teeth. Never heard of this album, listened to it, and I can totally see why it’s on this list. Beautiful album
Love the podcast, been going through some stuff lately and yall keeping me on my up rn, thx so much
My top 10 albums for the 2020s
(not in order too btw)
Alfredo by Freddie Gibbs
Sometimes I might be introverted by little Simz
Call me if you get lost by Tyler
The forever story by JID
KD2 by Nas
LP! By JPEGMAFIA
Hitler wears Hermes 8 by Westside Gunn
Melt my eyez see your future by Denzel curry
Donda by kanye
Run the jewels 4 by run the jewels
Eternal Atake is kinda underrated ngl. It could just be the nostalgia because I would listen to it all the time when I would go fishing during quarantine, but I actually do like it.
Did you just call ‘rare’ a skip? That song is 🔥
love the content boys, when is the next Ranking Rapper Names and Rapper Rating Cards? loved those videos
Rare is a banger
Y’all forgot by the time I get to Phoenix by injury reserve (which is my Favourite)
Bro the My Eyes beat switch is sooooo good
y'all missed some fire albums fr. like legends never die by Juice
My Top 4 would have been:
SIMBI, LP!, The Forever Story, Scaring the Hoes
For me Alfredo would be my pick, Pray For Paris, Melt My Eyez, The Forever Story and Mr. Morale would be my honorable mentions
savage mode 2 is so much better than heroes & villains lol
my top 5 albums of the 2020's so far in terms of replayibility:
1. Shoot For The Stars Aim For the Moon - Pop Smoke
2. Heroes & Villains - Metro Boomin
3. Mr Morale & The Big Steppers - Kendrick Lamar
4. SOS - SZA (not really a rap album but fire album regardless)
5. Call Me If You Get Lost - Tyler The Creator
Forever story better than all those
@@Gaving311 fr
Legends never die should have been on here.
Was Circles not in consideration given it not being a traditional rap album?
Now I want to see an episode of Free Smoke
TFS vs. MMESYF
You could've included also Punk and Life of a don, cause they were released back to back
2020's R&B album would be fire
Not having Joeys 2000 is crazy tho ngl
LP! the best album on here. MMATBS is 2nd. Great content boys!
Also weird you don't have SIMBI on here
Ope there it is at the end HAHA
The disrespect for Its Almost Dry fam. A bracket of 32, and it's not here. Damn!
Black Habits by D'Smoke also should have made it in.
they shoulda put donda and clb against each other in the 1st round
Eternal Atake still so under appreciated
Wait. Hold up. You're saying Rare is one of the weakest tracks on KD2? What? How?
A little surprising that Blame it on Baby won it but I’ll support it 🙏🙏
how is my turn not part of this bracket literally the biggest album in 2020
facts
The love for Little Simz is just immaculate
eternal atake has so many hits it's kinda criminal
Aethiopes losing first round hurt my soul Ngl. Album of the decade so far imo. I honestly haven’t heard that smiling with no teeth album yet tho so that’s definitely something I gotta tap into
My exact thoughts my friend. People sleeping on Billy is paaainful
Shoot for the stars got done dirty
should’ve had Circles
How is legends never die not on here?
Here are my top 10 albums of the decade (not in order)
The Forever Story- JID
Manger On McNicholes- Boldy James
Kings Disease 2- Nas
SIMBI- Little Simz
MMESYF- Denzel Curry
Cheat Codes- Black Thought
LP!- JPEGMAFIA
Alfredo- Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist
Mr Morale and The Big Steppers- Kendrick Lamar
Drill Music In Zion- Lupe Fiasco
Y'all did Donda dirty putting it up against Mr Morale in round 1 😢
circles gotta be here bro, yall trippin
Does it count as a rap album? Maybe
crazy how 2 of the greatest 2020s projects didnt make the cut, Royce's ''Allegory'' and Black Thoughts Streams of thoughts v3
On your opinion ofc
Bro said allegory
2024: Vince staples
2023: Danny brown
2022: JID
2021: Jpegmafia
2020: Freddie Gibbs
2019: Freddie Gibbs
2018: Pusha T or Denzel Curry (I can’t decide)
2017: Kendrick Lamar
2016: Danny Brown
2015: Kendrick Lamar
I think Alfredo is the best rap album of the 2020s easily, only 10 on this list imo
My turn should’ve been on here
where’s Legends never die??
Exactly what I was saying it was the biggest rap album of 2020
MMATBS over Donda is crazy
I feel like savage mode 2 is a bit underrated, some Tracks like said and done and rip luv have such great vibe to it metro really smashed that production
Think Shoot For The Stars takes it over Her Loss that was a HUGE record and you couldn't go anywhere without hearing some of those hits
these come in clutch when you got your flight delayed 🔥
WHERE IS MY TURN
