I would almost consider 2018 the new golden years of hip hop. Its been a lot of great projects that have been put out by rappers. A lot of people say that rappers sound the same nowadays, but if you dig deep enough you will always find gems. This year you did not have to. Good material is easily accessible. Anderson. Paak was highly in anticipation after gifting people with his classic album Malibu. Dr Dre took him under his wing and helped him polish another possible classic and that is Oxnard. I think every track sounds sonically dope besides maybe 1 song and that track may grow on me. Big K.R.I.T dropped a surprise EP as well. Kirk Knight of Pro Era dropped an album too. I go back to the previous podcast and talk about Swizz Beats last album versus 9th wonders album. I think 9th wonder should make Swizz go back to the drawing board. 9th has star power throughout his album but nowhere near the superstars that swizz has throughout his album, yet it outshines from lyrics to beat selection. Both are solid efforts. Kevin Durant and Draymond get into a rift and Draymond hits Kevin Durant below the belt with his words. Kevin is gone after this year. As a OKC fan you know where i want to see him sign. Come home. Carmelo Anthony cut from the Rockets just after 10 games.
