We got 0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:03.600 a special asked legendary hip hop journalist b Dot my 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:07.480 guy b Dot from rap Radar. Okay, how you doing, man? 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.400 Look good man? How you doing? I'm good. It's crazy 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:15.080 because I specifically remember this time last year you and 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:19.480 Elliott ran My dude, I was playing video games in 0:04:19.560 --> 0:04:23.599 my man cave watching that Drake interview and then the 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.280 Griselda interview followed up. It was just it was like 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:30.919 some of the best. It was like a historical month 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.200 because those were two of the best interviews, especially that 0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.560 Drake interview is like a historical interview and you guys 0:04:35.560 --> 0:04:37.760 have a lot of those. Yeah. Man, that was hard 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:39.600 to keep a secret. You know. I had to hold 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.200 that in for like two weeks and we decided to 0:04:42.200 --> 0:04:44.920 do it on Christmas Day because you know it's Christmas. Yeah, 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.800 it was a gift to y'all, you know. So it 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:50.560 was amazing, man, Thank you. Man. I appreciate. It's hard 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.840 watching those interviews back because then I'm like, damn, I 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.520 should have asked this question or what should have framed 0:04:55.560 --> 0:04:58.080 it this way? So I always cringe when I watched 0:04:58.320 --> 0:05:01.920 the interviews again. But you know, se like everyone enjoyed it. 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.040 So I feel like that always happens when you interview 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:08.680 someone like that. You're always like, ship, I forgot this, 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:11.359 and then you yourself all the way back home like 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:14.240 fuck what you know, it happens. You know, you catch 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.480 him the next time around. What was something you you 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.640 you had uh felt that way about what the Drake 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.560 interview like that you would wish you would have asked him. 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.799 I think I would have asked them more about Nicki 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.120 Minaj and their relationship. And I think there was something 0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.680 about Cuddy I wanted to ask him about. But that 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:34.080 was that was about it. So you know it the 0:05:34.120 --> 0:05:36.640 next time around, right for sure? Man, And you guys 0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.680 have been doing a great job throughout the pandemic, like 0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.080 you know, with the with the you know, the title 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.480 check ins and then you have your art art what 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:48.760 is it? Art of wraps or artifacts? What is it? 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.880 It's called artifacts and play on the word artifacts, right, 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:53.640 So it was just basically kind of like a hip 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.320 hop show and tell I had this idea for a 0:05:56.400 --> 0:05:58.800 long time. I pitched it to MTV. I me and 0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:00.960 it Canon actually were part is on it. It was 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.920 another It was another name called Junkies, and I just 0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:07.039 switched the name. And we had pitched it to MTV 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:09.920 and Viacom and things were in motion. But you know 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.840 how that happens. Things got the old weight and I 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.240 decided to just do it on my own. And so far, 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.520 so good. I'm enjoying it all right, So let's get 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.400 to this list of yours, man. But first of all, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.440 you got multiple lists, but multiple lists I have lists 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.680 on lists. I think I'm gonna put out another one too. 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.320 For best albums. I was gonna say, yeah, I got mine. 0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:32.280 I was going to share with you, so well, well, 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:33.719 first of all, this will be probably come out if 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:36.200 you're gonna if you're gonna release that today, yeah, we 0:06:36.240 --> 0:06:37.880 could share it on the podcast. It's gonna come out 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:42.560 after Let's let's start with the things we strongly agree upon, 0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:44.760 and that's Freddi Gibbs. Now, you and I have been 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.600 a part of the Freddi Gibbs Way for a very 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.120 long time. The first time I interviewed fred was in nine. 0:06:50.640 --> 0:06:52.359 You know, he's he's always been one of my favorite 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:55.960 rappers in the world. And you know, obviously he had 0:06:55.960 --> 0:07:00.360 the esgn uh you know, he was doing his worts 0:07:00.400 --> 0:07:04.440 column with you with rap Radar dar dot com. Yeah, yeah, 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.400 and uh, you know, I think that it's, you know, finally, 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.320 every everything's kind of coming around for fred you know, 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:13.880 as far as just peer's respect and you know, and 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:16.920 and mind you. I think in twenty fourteen, Pinata was 0:07:16.960 --> 0:07:22.320 a classic. Last year, Bandana was a classic. It was 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:25.680 my best rap of last year too, I agree, And 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:27.480 I always kind of get like yo, man, that he's 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:29.440 your boys. You know, I'm like, nah, man, Fred is 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.440 that guy. So I think i think let's talk about 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:34.760 Fred's year, man, because you know, I think Freddie Gibbs. 0:07:34.920 --> 0:07:37.600 You know, even even going back to last year, you 0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:40.760 you'd be hard pressed to find a two album run. 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.160 I mean, there are those that exist, obviously, but man, 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.120 that's a hell of a two album run. I agree. 0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.640 I think you have Bandana, like you said last year, 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.840 and just this one this year is just like Alfredo 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.320 is incredible. I think Fred is wrapping at a really 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.160 really high level. It's at the point where when he's rapping, 0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.680 I'm on the edge of my seat just anticipating what 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:03.400 he's going to say next. Like he's at that level now, 0:08:03.440 --> 0:08:06.240 you know. So I'm just really happy that he's finally 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.720 getting the recognition he deserves. I mean, I think the 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.280 Grammy nominations definitely put the spotlight on him a little 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:14.720 bit more. And it's funny because I remember talking to 0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:18.160 him throughout the year, that's all he kept talking about nomination, 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:22.240 Like him the nominations probably already a win. So I'm 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:24.440 really happy for him and I hope he does take 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.680 it home. Yeah, it was important to him last year too. 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.360 I think that that was a big, a big reason 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.160 why they did the album with the RCA last year. Yeah. Absolutely, 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:33.800 and you know he got Snubb last year, so this 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.680 year definitely, it definitely felt like okay finally, I mean yeah, 0:08:37.920 --> 0:08:41.880 in general, the Grammy nominations this year for Best Rap Album, 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.720 if I had to put money on it, yeah, like 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:50.760 my own money. Yeah. I think NAS probably goes home 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.079 with the trophy and not because it's the better album, right, 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:57.000 I agree, But it's just like Nas, how many times 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:59.040 has not been nominated and he hasn't gotten a Grammy. 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.679 I feel like fucking Susan Lucia rat you know what 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.440 I'm saying. Like he keeps getting nominated for different awards 0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.400 and he just never wins. So I think they'll give 0:09:07.400 --> 0:09:09.960 it to him this time around. But you know, it's 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:11.640 either gonna be him or Alfred or I don't think 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.280 anybody else has a chance. Yeah, surprises happened. I never 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.520 forget when Drake and Justin Bieber were of the best 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.920 New artists and Esmeralda spald in one and I was like, 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:21.679 who the fuck is this? Yeah, I still don't know 0:09:21.679 --> 0:09:26.160 who this is exactly. So you know, I think even 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.800 the last year they had a tie if I'm not 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:30.400 mistaken right, or it was it the year before the 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:35.600 best rap performance, Yeah, I don't remember. That's crazy. Yeah, yeah, 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:38.160 I think I think Fred deserves to win it, and 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:41.719 I think I think the betting favorites gotta be nas though, 0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.160 just because it's like when Leo DiCaprio had all those 0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.800 Oscar nominations and they finally gave him more than you 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:50.120 know what I'm saying, it's exactly. And then another person 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.840 who you had high on your list, who I think 0:09:52.960 --> 0:09:55.800 also doesn't get a lot of enough respect. He's he's 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.360 not he's around ten on mine, but your list you 0:09:59.360 --> 0:10:01.800 had Rush really high. And I think Russ doesn't get 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:03.960 enough love, he doesn't get enough respect. I also think, 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:06.120 you know, people just it's kind of popular to just 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.840 not like Russ, to dislike the guy. It's hard being 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.800 a white rapper these days. Well, he's also really cocky 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:14.600 and like he makes it. You know. I always say 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.920 like Russ gives out so much free game that artists 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:20.120 should like really listen to, you know what I'm saying, Like, 0:10:20.240 --> 0:10:22.320 I think I'm sorry, and I was gonna say, like 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.680 that's even even if you take his music and his 0:10:24.800 --> 0:10:27.920 skill out of it, like he's really dropping like serious 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:30.480 gems that any artist should listen to. I agree, I 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.640 think Russ is nice. If you're a rap fan and 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:35.480 you don't like gravitate to Russ's lyrics, like, I just 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:37.679 can't really respect your opinion. I think a lot of 0:10:37.679 --> 0:10:40.200 people don't even give him a shot that's true to 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.440 his rhymes. He's spitting his ass off. I think the 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.640 chomp ep was a great example of that act, and 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.040 it's all of the freestyles that he peppered throughout the year, 0:10:48.600 --> 0:10:52.520 specifically the life from the Villa one style, like congrats 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:56.320 freestyle is crazy. How can you listen to that and not, 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.640 you know, give him his props. So I think Russ, 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:01.880 you know, he does a lot of the pop records 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.960 as well, so I think that gets mitigate, that gets 0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:07.760 overshadowed by the rap stuff. But you know, Russ is incredible. 0:11:07.800 --> 0:11:09.440 He could really wrap his ass off and he can 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.240 hang with the best of them. Who was somebody who 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:19.559 you you think was like knocking on your like top 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:22.840 ten that didn't necessarily make it. This ship was hard, 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.959 Like I was wrestling with this list for at least 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:29.120 since like Thanksgiving, it's rough, it's hard, and plus I 0:11:29.120 --> 0:11:31.920 do it for ten just to you know, to focus 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:35.160 on that. But someone who I think like if you 0:11:35.200 --> 0:11:40.760 did like eleven like honorable mentions, Larry June. Okay, okay, 0:11:41.320 --> 0:11:44.360 that Larry June project, it might make the list. Hey, 0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.480 Larry June is crazy put he put a whole album 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:49.200 out with Bernard too. He had a crazy year, Larry June. 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:53.440 That Keep Going project is fire Yes, James the Price 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.320 of Team James had a crazy year. Uh Smoke Dizza 0:11:57.760 --> 0:12:00.520 his album fire Like. There's a lot of rappers that 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.160 I personally like, but I can't necessarily put them on 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.959 the best Rapper list because I feel like they had 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:09.360 the skill, but did they have the presence or did 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.800 they have you know, the performance on tracks. I'm just 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.199 I'm trying to be objective and also subjective at the 0:12:14.240 --> 0:12:18.880 same time. So now, somebody who I didn't include in 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.760 my top ten lists because technically his album came out 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.280 in January or December of last year. And someone who 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:28.679 I consider to have the best melodies in all of 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:32.240 hip hop is Roddy Rich And I know a lot 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:34.800 of people have been you know, and I don't disagree 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.199 with anybody who thinks Roddy Rich should be on that list. 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.880 I just kind of I think Roddy Rich is one 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:44.839 of the best songmakers period. I agree. I think Roddy 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:47.640 Rich is a better Roddy Rich. Correct, you know what? 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:51.360 He can no for sure, But I've also believe he's 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:54.360 like a product of twenty nineteen more so than twenty twenty. 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:58.920 And his album lived a lot this year. Man, it did, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:02.880 but it came out last year, right right. That's that's 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:04.520 just how I base it off. And also, I don't 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:08.199 think when I think of best rappers like I don't 0:13:08.640 --> 0:13:10.760 for me, I don't put Roddy Rich in that category. 0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.400 He's not a person that comes to mind make a 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:15.560 great song. But what I'm thinking, like the best rappers 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:19.480 is going to go, it's not necessarily Roddy Rich. Yeah, 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.440 I'm gonna give you a quick rundown of my ten. 0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:26.440 I got Freddy Gibbs at one, Okay, I got Conway 0:13:26.480 --> 0:13:28.240 at two. So so far we're two for two on 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:32.080 our list, all right, I'm with it. Benny at three, okay, 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:38.920 with three for three, Mazi at four. Hmmm, So we 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:41.440 got to start putting some respect on Mazzi's name. Man, 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.880 I like, he put out two great albums this year. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:48.400 I like, and he's like, to me, the one guy. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:52.160 Obviously he's from Sacramento, but like when it comes to 0:13:52.240 --> 0:13:54.880 like the West Coast, shiit like, I feel like he 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:59.400 is the guy who everybody respects, who you'll meet as 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:02.360 a rapper too. So I got Mazzi high on my list. Man, 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.840 I'm not mad at that I got Big Sean at five. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.000 I really enjoyed Detroit too. I really enjoyed his presence 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:11.120 on a lot of other people's records. Obviously full things 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:17.959 with Gibbs, we did we have big Yeah, okay, yeah four, 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:21.320 So things are gonna get real different then here I got. 0:14:21.960 --> 0:14:24.800 I got Royce to five nine at six, okay, And 0:14:24.800 --> 0:14:27.720 I don't think Royce major list. I was thinking about 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:31.800 Royce too, But what did it What prevented Royce from 0:14:31.800 --> 0:14:33.480 making the list is the fact that he put out 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:36.240 I liked Allegory, but I also think if it wasn't 0:14:36.280 --> 0:14:39.560 for the Grammys, that album would have been forgotten about. 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:42.560 And after Allegory, I don't think he really did anything 0:14:42.560 --> 0:14:44.640 else throughout the year. He was kind of silent. Yeah, 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.480 I mean he was on Shawn's album I Mean He 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:48.120 He also he also I Mean Look. I also go 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:50.120 back to the Minem album he Gassed the m album. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:53.920 He produced on the album I'm Gonna Go Killer Mike 0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.800 at seven Run the Jewels four is an incredible album 0:14:57.840 --> 0:15:00.120 to me, So I got Killer Mike at seven. I'm 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:01.960 at that, I think is one of the best rap 0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:03.720 songs of the year. Walking on the Snow is the 0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.440 one for me, man, the one with a thanks to 0:15:05.520 --> 0:15:08.560 Boo on the hook, another artist who's not on your list. 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:11.760 I got Busted Rhymes at eight. Really, yeah, man, I 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.840 really loved E l E too. Man, you liked that album. 0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:18.040 I really enjoyed it. Bro I hated the album felt 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:21.560 like homework. You hated the album. I hated it really. 0:15:22.400 --> 0:15:25.280 It was when it was too long and busted. Just 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:27.080 to me, it just felt like it was moments where 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.080 he was spinning. I like the record with him in rhapsody, 0:15:29.320 --> 0:15:31.960 but in totality the record the album just felt like 0:15:33.000 --> 0:15:35.200 he was just yelling and it felt like just you 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.360 and you know, when you're trying to enjoy yourself at 0:15:38.400 --> 0:15:42.680 the club, someone's trying to fish yo yo, all right, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:45.280 I get see you. I got to mistake this out. Yeah, 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.920 I really enjoyed the Bust album. I'm probably I'm a 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:50.560 lot higher on the bus Rymes album than you are. 0:15:50.600 --> 0:15:54.360 Then I really enjoyed it. Man, Okay. I got Rust 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.680 at nine okay, and then I got a Little Baby 0:15:57.720 --> 0:16:02.400 at ten. Wow. Okay. Little Baby is an artist who 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:04.880 I never ever thought would make this list in my 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:08.880 entire life, based on like it being called the best rappers. 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:14.280 But man, if he didn't have a hell of a year. Uh, 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:18.600 and you know, he also probably gets most Improved of 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:22.240 the Year too, most improved player. Oh yeah, absolutely, like 0:16:22.400 --> 0:16:25.600 little Bait. If this, if we did the Hottest MCS list, 0:16:25.680 --> 0:16:27.960 you'd probably be number one, two and three hottest. Yeah. 0:16:27.960 --> 0:16:30.680 I think it's like him pop smoke and uh and 0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.280 probably righty rich and and and then you know you're 0:16:33.360 --> 0:16:37.560 probably feeling the baby and and who am I forgetting 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.720 that would be in that. I think Megan would make 0:16:39.760 --> 0:16:45.520 that list. Megan maybe, UZI Yeah, like that's a hot artist. 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:47.720 That's the hottest list, which we used to get pissed 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:53.480 off about what MTV would do, but it's a different conversation. Yeah, 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:57.520 you was on that panel, yep, yep, And I remember 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.560 voting for Drake and they voted for Kanye. But that 0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.920 was that. That was like four years ago. Yeah. So 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:11.160 some of my honorable mentions are Boldie James. Okay, Boldie's nice. Yeah, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:16.760 he had a crazy year. I also, of course, uh, 0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:20.320 west Side Gun. I think we have to just salute 0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:24.240 his body of work for the year. Pray for Paris. 0:17:25.359 --> 0:17:27.520 That's that's that's on the list. I'll give you. It's 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.000 on my list too. On the list, Yeah, it's pretty 0:17:30.040 --> 0:17:35.000 high on my list. Also, I gotta I gotta show 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.919 some love to Eminem. I actually thought Eminem's album was 0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:44.320 his best album in like ten years. I really liked Recovery. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.920 I liked Recovery a lot. Yeah, but Recovery was two 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.840 thousand and that was the one with like he was 0:17:50.840 --> 0:17:52.600 like walking walking down the road and Ship that was 0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:55.400 like twenty ten. Yeah, that was a long time ago. 0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.159 That was twenty ten. And since Recovery, really it's been 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:03.159 a whole lot of bullshit. Shouts Eminem shouts Paul No. 0:18:03.240 --> 0:18:06.000 I love Eminem. He's one of my favorite rappers ever. 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:09.800 And I feel like with this album, I finally was like, yes, 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:14.520 this is the Eminem album that I just wanted him 0:18:14.560 --> 0:18:18.040 to make all the features. They didn't sound forced. It 0:18:18.160 --> 0:18:19.760 was a step in the right direction. The intro I 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:22.760 remember listening to that. I thought that was crazy. You know, 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:25.600 so Eminem, that was definitely I think to your point, 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:27.960 it was probably the best album in a while. He 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:32.160 toned down the like forced ballads with a Skylar Gray 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:35.679 and you know, Pink and Rihanna and you know whoever 0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:39.760 the hell it was just like bro if I when 0:18:39.840 --> 0:18:41.840 when when the track listing came out and I saw 0:18:41.840 --> 0:18:44.560 her name on the track listing, I lost my fucking mind. 0:18:44.840 --> 0:18:47.359 I was like, guys, will someone tell Eminem to stop 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:55.960 putting this fucking girl on records. I haven't listened to 0:18:56.000 --> 0:18:58.560 the B side. They came out at nine o'clock last night. 0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.600 But nonetheless, I did think, you know, I throw emm 0:19:00.640 --> 0:19:03.160 in the honorable mention, NOAs in the honorable mention Jay 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:05.600 electing the honorable mention. I hope kind of watched him 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:08.359 on that album, but you know, you know, shout out 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.639 to Jay Electronical. But yeah, I think I think, how 0:19:10.640 --> 0:19:13.159 about this for the year? Do you think this was? Like? 0:19:13.440 --> 0:19:15.440 I feel like this is one of the best years 0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:18.240 in recent memory as far as like just the quality 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:20.879 of music we got. Oh absolutely. I think there was 0:19:20.920 --> 0:19:23.200 a lot of great moments, a lot of great music 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:25.720 that came out, and a lot of it probably just 0:19:25.760 --> 0:19:28.600 didn't get the exposure deserve. But if you were a 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:31.000 Rat fan, you know where to find a good shit. Man, Like, 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:34.240 there was great music all around the board for sure. 0:19:34.480 --> 0:19:37.600 All right, So look your your albums of the Year list. 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:40.280 It should be out by now. Yeah, I'm about to 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.200 put out maybe like in a few hours. Well so yeah, 0:19:42.240 --> 0:19:45.600 so this is gonna come out Monday, so so so 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.680 this will already have been out. So let's go over. 0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:49.440 I'm gonna run through my list, then you go through 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:52.960 your list. I bet all right. I got Alfredo's number one. 0:19:55.280 --> 0:19:59.120 I got RTJ FOROS two, I got Prayed for Paris 0:19:59.280 --> 0:20:03.679 at three.

Blast no Love Lost, but 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:20.199 see it's Blast. He's like, yeah, you know what, all right, 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:24.159 I'll tell you what. He's just one of my favorite 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.399 albums of the year. So we're talking rap albums. We 0:20:26.440 --> 0:20:30.760 can we can move him over. So what was that? 0:20:30.760 --> 0:20:35.200 That was six? So then I got Detroit two at six. Okay, 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:38.840 I got Detroit too at six.

It is hard, man, I'm 0:20:57.560 --> 0:21:00.720 still wrestling with my list, if you want to be honest. 0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:08.440 I got at eight The Allegory from Royce. I really 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:16.920 enjoyed that album. At nine, King's Disease. Wow Nazi. Mhmm, 0:21:17.400 --> 0:21:19.600 you're a Nazi man.

I didn't listen to jay Z for 0:21:32.119 --> 0:21:37.199
