prof skye saying that CONWAY THE MACHINE is the perfect song to listen to with your NEWBORN might be the most prof skye thing ever loool AVAA
RIP KA! There will never be another like him, period.
Derapy sent me 🙌 excited to check out your library!!
Yeah, awesome! Love Derapy. Happy to support others who are doing great work on hip-hop.
I'm here doing my mandatory view + like in service of Derapy.
You do really make a lot of great videos professor.
Yeah, awesome! Love Derapy. Happy to support others who are doing great work on hip-hop.
Homie brought the graphs. He is a mad scientist of rap reviews 🧑🔬
Do you ever actually drink your tea? You bring the cup up to your lips, but you never actually drink. Just kinda funny AVAA!
Tea is supposed to be drank in sips. Chinese tea for example is served in small tasting cups several times.
Vultures 1 above Samurai & I Lay Down My Life For You good lord 😭😭😭😭😭😭
AVAA, i could not agree more with ur framing of the year, balance. We got great mainstream, underground, expetimental, abstract, gangster, conscious hip hop all year. A truly great year for hip hop. Rest in Peace to Ka
I am here because of derapy!!
Thanks for supporting his channel
And can’t wait to see your stuff
Yeah, awesome! Love Derapy. Happy to support others who are doing great work on hip-hop.
hey prof skye, great video as always. wanted to thank you for supporting smaller creators like derapy as well!
Smaller for now!
That dope shit video was really good...AVAA Professor...Skye in graphic design definitely deserves a raise...
I think Same Love by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis is a great example of quadrant II, it charted high and was about a conscious topic, but has some of the silliest/dumbest bars ever
Totally agree that Samurai would be AOTY in literally any other year. Definitely the best year for music since 2016
James Acaster heads rise up
Interesting both years elected Trump
I mean, I been a Lupe fan since the Cool at least, but no... Samurai is not AOTY. Even in a dry year.
To paraphrase Lupe off superstar.... "did you improve on the design something, make something new?"
With Samurai. Lupe went in his bag with Samurai, yes, but it's the same bag he always goes into. I can't say it's AOTY for that alone.
He honed his blade, but didn't make a new weapon.
Locking in for this video - but not before swinging through the merch shop to get a Skye X Kafka Tee as a gift for myself for Christmas because this channel is great. Prof Skye is out here showing love to the community of creators like Derapy is exactly what makes this internet music community so damn cool. ❤❤
I loved the way you selected the favorites, thanks for a great year of reviews! you're already a mandatory channel to view when an album drops
AVAA, professor. Derek from derapy sends me and I'm so grateful you're sponsoring a portion of (or even the entireity of? Idk actually, he didn't say) his video. Glad 2 of the most recent youtube channel I've discovered actually talk to eachother, given how different the backgrounds are.
Yeah, awesome! Love Derapy. Happy to support others who are doing great work on hip-hop.
I see so many comments mentioning Derapy here, hmmmm, guess I gotta check that channel out. AVAA
As someone who found both the Prof and Derapy independently this year because of the beef, please do; he covers a wide spectrum, but his music reviews are both informative and entertaining. A lot of us are also here because the Prof bought an ad spot on his show when he just lost his job, so a lot of us are here to thank him for supporting other shows, too.
Highly, highly recommend watching the Drake vs. Kendrick supercut, as most of them were made fairly close in time to the beef and have some hilarious moments as he, a Drake fan with very good taste in Hip Hop music regardless and in addition to that, watches Drake get destroyed and then implode. The Heart Pt 6 rant is quite funny.
Derapy sent me! (at least today's visit) I really appreciate your analysis
I get it. GNX was wild. I was like man this is really good but I wish it was a little better and with no skips
And then I never stopped playing it and didn't skip any tracks, even GNX (like whaaaa)
i agree that the having underground might be the least interesting category but i'd argue it is the most important one. i think that those artists will influence most of the hip hop from the future
You can take any sub-ccategory from this video and compare that top 5 to any general top 5 of the year list in the 2020s so far and i think the subcategories would win, thats just insane. If this isnt the best year in hip hop ever its at least the most surprising because it came right after a long drought
Marciology is my album of the year!🏆
AVAA prof been too Hollywood to heart it for the last 10 videos but ima give it anyway 😂 great year good sir
Already a subscriber but Derapy sent me! Vince staples is so underrated, one of my favorites from this year.
NGL it's kinda hilarious to say the takes are contrarían when it's literally his award show. "The award show you set up and judge is biased!! >:("
AVAA great list! We have similar lists but I’d like to mention the RAP Ferreira album!
Sahbabii- “Saheem” is a top 5 rap album of 2024 (in my personal top 3 alongside Ka & Kendrick)
Saaheem my aoty 🙏
This is the coolest French professor ever
RIP Ka
😔
🙏
I like that you are honest about Kendrick making your channel more visible, because that's what got me here 😂
Still listening to Richaxxhatiain🎉🎉
TDE is heavy here. And rightfully so.
Also, the west coast shows they make the best albums.
Professor Skye trying to educate chat like one of his classes.
Meanwhile chat: ooo that one look like dragon
AVAA I enjoy how you defend your takes with a level of academia lol But at the end of the day it’s a feeling for the music. I will have to check out a few of these albums before I do my own little award ceremony. Thank you for your insight!

AVAA, now that I've seen it I'm mostly surprised Please Don't Cry didn't make your list and Killer Mike and LL COOL J didn't get mentioned. I also forgot Hemlock Ernst and Open Mike Eagle in my list.
Mine goes 1. Doechii, 2. Kendrick Lamar, 3. JPEGMAFIA, 4. Rapsody, 5. bbymutha, 6. cupcakke, 7. cakes da killa, 8. denzel curry, 9. Audrey Nuna, 10. schoolboy q, 11. vince staples, 12. LL COOL J, 13. K.A.A.N. (The Lost Files), 14. Rome Streetz, 15. Del the Funky Homosapien
Unc. . . . .did you listen to Rapsody's album "Please dont cry" ?
If not, YOU SHOULD ASAP!!!
Have you listened to that kenny mason mixtape he dropped like a month ago? Probably my favourite project this year. Short conceise and every track on here feels distinct. Liked it much more than that new kendrick album
Came here to say you should review BigXThePlug- his ear for beats is insane. Take Care is a SOLID project to bend your ear to.
Be safe & be well.
Seconded! Just got turned on to him and can’t stop listening
I'm surprised that any of the boldy James projects didn't make it to the video
Legit dropped like 4 amazing projects
Damn🥺 I Really Love Both Vultures😭 like really 😭

Rapsody, Common and Doechii were my great 2024 surprises.
those albums from cavalier, nahreally, & common/pete rock are all so good (every album u named is idk why i feel the need to specify those)
great list professor! just wanted to shout out Penalty of Leadership by Boldy James and Nicholas Craven. such a stacked year for rap that this one from the start of 24 doesn't make the cut
I would argue that a good example of low head, high heat, and high heart would be the album Macklemore his grammy win.
Cold visions AOTY on GOD
Ka is the Howard Roark of Hip Hop. I’m still in shock at his passing.
1 album that has all Heart, skill and heat maxed out is Dark fantasy. Best of all time
Please talk more about movies I love when you mention film
looking real majestic sir avaa
He's still the guy, that's right Prof. Loved the stream and your input, as usual. AVAA
i would totally buy that t shirt
I, too, love head!
Farma G (UK rapper from Taskforce) will be dropping his first album early next year.
If you don't know him or Chester P, or Taskforces music, you're missing out.
There aren't many as deep as Chester.
Henry Coffin- Harlem Night
Schoolboy Q albums fits your jumpy wiggly personality
Cold visions aoty
Can't End On A Loss (outro) soty
FAX
At McDonald's get the sad meal
So cold
I’m surprised by how often I return to Cold Visions
Professor? I dont think you're contrarian, though i might just be saying that to get you to disagree with me. Also if nothing else this video is just a list of all the albums from this year I need to get back to plus all the ones I've enjoyed in 2024. AVAA
AVAA
I can't stand behind your unabashed acceptance of Kanye anymore. You clearly are a man who loves art, as such, I'm sure that you understand that the context surrounding the creation of a work can add an extra dimension to analyze it through. You acknowledge it in this review, when you say that Ka's album became better because he passed. It's somewhat brash to phrase it like that but it's true: his passing added an extra wrinkle that adds a lot of beauty, that wouldn't exist if it just popped out of the ether miraculously. The context of his real life adds beauty to the music, which was already largely about the realities of death.
Then we have Kanye. The man who brazenly uses his final song on his album to celebrate that he is an unmedicated, bipolar, nazi. Other points in the record, he carelessly objectifies women and asserts patriarchy. And with the context surrounding the creation of the album, we see that is all it truly is. There isn't a subversion of ideology at play, Kanye is presenting himself as he exactly is. A womanizer, a proud antisemite, a self-destructive narcissist. There isn't any goodness to celebrate in that. There isn't any context to enrich that standpoint he has taken. "Crazed, bipolar, antisemite and I'm still the king." In the wake of encrouching facism, this is not the art we should be putting on a pedestal, claiming that we will worship it in a decade's time. I believe we will look back at V1 as a dominant social symbol of our time's degradation towards antisemitism, racism and misogyny.
Also, I just have to question. What leads to your confliction with giving RXK Nephew's American Tteroristt the title of "best rap song ever", when you seemingly feel no such conflict towards Kanye? Especially considering Kanye actually lives, espouses, and celebrates the terrible things he rapped on V1?
Why is Sky's younger brother on here using Zoom of all things?
I wanna know your opinion on Joey Valance and Brae AVAA
The fact that Tyler, The Creator is his own producer separates that album from the rest. I agree on top 4 as a whole, but Tyler jumps from 4 to 1 for me.
Surely, Beastie Boys and Joey Valance and Brae are in Tier 2?
1995 is the dopest year.. Raekwon, ODB, gza, AZ, big L, fat joe, LL cool j also had a banger
AVAA Derapy sent me!
COLD VISIONS AOTY VRO
Could you upload in 1080p?
AVAA! Curious about your thoughts on this prof. 2Pac, my personal GOAT, I'd put him between quadrant i & ii (1.5). Thoughts?
Nett
AVAA could you please make a video on bjork
That would be so fire
Boldy James & Conductor Williams - Across The Tracks?
Unintentional snub. Love that album
@@professorskye Nice no worries professor, love your content :)
Where is Cold Visions, or does he not consider that rap? Yeah his top albums are rappers flexing & finessing, but don’t talk enough about getting tired of stressing and hanging with peasants in a depressed state….
I think at some he mentioned that he’s not sure about where to put bladee so I hope will see him in the end of the year non rap list
Hold up.. Common and Pete Rock not being considered?! That can't be the case
LL's album was fire but it didn't make the top ten for me this year because it was such a good year.
Cavalier snubbed twice
HE BOUGHT RICHAXXHAITIAN VINYL???????? IS HE A MILLIONAIRE
Did you ever read Erich Fromm's To Have or To Be ?
Very similar to a concept i came up with thinking about artists, except my 3 are if they’re Good, Interesting, or Cool. Similar to your 3 with some little differences. Example are Travis Scott is good and cool but not interesting. Playboi Carti is cool and interesting but not good. Lou Reed is also interesting and cool but not good. Obviously these artists have quality musicianship and all that, but by not including good I just mean that it’s not part of what makes them great. An example of all three would be Kanye.
is there a link to download that quadrant graphic? AVAA
Where Marciology and The Skeleton Key??
Vaulters 2 is not that bad
May be better than v1 now
Nothing wrong being second fiddle to Billy woods
I want a hiphop octants shirt
GNX is an instant classic for me
Radnici Niša nemaju pečat because Prof took it
AVAA, please listen to xaviersobased and 1C34
Day 378 of Asking you to Review Achilles Come Down by Gang of Youth
I love your videos but the Kanye glazing needs to stop. You're really praising songs where Kanye compares himself to serial r@pists and talks how he's "antisemite but still king"? No thanks. Even if we ignore the lyrics these are the worst performances of his career and he gets washed by every single feature
Truly baffled as to what he sees in the half baked slop ye put out this year
Since when can't a person compare themselves to rapists? You are close minded.
Wait can is spell rapist? Do I have to use the @? Genuine question
Genuine question. Do I have to use the @ sign for some reason when typing rapist? will it get taken down?
so you’re saying he needs to stop saying what you don’t like to hear, move forward with BS, “it needs to stop” ordering someone on putting out their real unbiased opinions of the art form.
you’d love for him to fake pander and keep y’all “loyalists” floating, nah gtfo with this shit.
RICHAXXHAITIAN is my fav this year
Dafuq is that bow in your hair?
Chromakopia being top 5 is acceptable but I personally say it deserves top 3 but I understand too much greatness this year
Mainstream, attempt to be sincere, stupid as hell?
I nominate 'Stan' by Eminem.
I'd nominate 'Where's god' by ICP, but I think that's only heat for Juggalos.
AVAA
AVAA but even on a purely musical level it was genuinely one of the worst projects to come out of the mainstream in a while. He's supremely washed up and struggles to make anything good to me
forgot to say, was referring to vultures 1
Mavi not on the list
That is how good of a year it was. A truly great album
Vultures 1 is my fav album from this year ❤
Unpopular opinion(s): GNX is the best rap album of the year and the second best album released on that particular day
Mahashmashana
I lay down my life for you is definitely better produced album than ye's album, vultures 1,2 is just feels so empty for me it's so forgettable even more than donda 2.
Freddie Gibbs - You only die 1nce
Kendrick Lamar - GNX
Kanye sucks avaa
AVAA
Ollie Mitchells “Fuchsia” should be top ten
