Check out the alternative hip hop artists. They broke up recently, but the Odd Future Collective (and it's many member's solo acts) have a pretty unique (and diverse) discography. They're most known for Frank Ocean and Tyler, the Creator, but those two aren't even my favorite. This does have my favorite album by Tyler though.

Brockhampton just release two full length albums this year that are pretty strong. It's kind of amazing that they had all this ready to go in just one year.

Jay-Z deserves a revisit with 4:44. I've never much cared for Jay-Z until this album, but I'm listening now. Apparently he's responsible for this tragic Eminem x Beyonce single, and he cheated on B, so you know he ain't perfect.

This year has also seen new stuff from A Tribe Called Quest, which caught everyone by surprise, and P.O.S released their first album in four years.

Kendrick Lamar's DAMN isn't To Pimp a Butterfly, but that's such a high bar, it's hardly fair to compare the two.

If there's one department 2017 hasn't been shit on, it's the music, and that's true across all the genres.

Sorry my dude but that ship has sailed years ago. I have no desire to get back into hip hop.

Like, I dislike Kendrick Lamar. Safe to say I'm never going to be a hip hop fan again.
