r9 my taste guys

clipping. and Fiona Apple maybe?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I'd love to but I'm not an ant.

You were doing good until Cole

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Added names of the album and changed the layout of mine (11) since I really like the way Chi did hers.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Nothing Was The Same over Take Care and IYRTITL?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I'm not spending a large amount of time doing a full topsters so here's a quick top 10, top 5 are my favorite bleep bloop albums, bottom 5 are my favorite ambient albums

Dude, this is totally the opposite of what I thought you listened to

[Lil Uzi Vert]

here we go



idk how yall got those lists to show up on the side tho

Noname and Solange? SZA maybe?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

In no particular order. And these would probably change depending on my mood at the time of making the list.

Grizzly Bear and Weezer

You need some Fiona Apple too! Maybe some James Blake as well.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

you guys can't seriously like nmh its a straight meme

You have Cole and Tiller on your chart bro

In The Airplane Over The Sea is one of, if not, the greatest album of all time. It's an incredibly influential fuzz-folk bit of music that really inspired a lot of future artists as well as introduced and reintroduced a ton of musical concepts and ideas. It's like Kanye West's 808s and Heartbreak, in that it influenced a lot of the more emotionally influenced rappers right now like Drake. Not to mention the emotional aspects of the album can appeal to a variety of people of all ages.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

here we go



idk how yall got those lists to show up on the side tho

Noname and Solange? SZA maybe?

a seat at the table was one of my best albums of 2016, but it's not infinitely relistenable imo

Yeah I feel it's vastly overrated. Her vocal range made it such a struggle for me to get through the album.

Nice to see Joanne on there, nice bounce back up for her after the disaster ARTPOP was.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

drake a lil bitch

Xxxtenaction fan over here!

Drake is an emotional rapper?

so not rapping about ass and watches 24/7 makes you an emotional rapper?

Who would you consider to be the prime example of one if not him?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Got around to adding some more

I hate that I have nothing really to rec..

Big K.R.I.T. maybe?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Who would you consider to be the prime example of one if not him?

the state of mainstream rap and hip hop makes me so sad, i couldn't say one way or another
I was in the gym today and literally heard to worst song in my life. I'm too traumatized to figure out what it was

I hate that I have nothing really to rec..

Big K.R.I.T. maybe?

Don't worry, I'm basically stuck in the 90s with a few classics sprinkled here and there. I do have some more recent singles on playlists, but I haven't purchased an album in well over a decade and don't music that much anymore

I feel you. A lot of hip-hop today is objectively terrible. There is still a lot of good music out there, just takes work to find it sadly.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

really? I feel like we're in a pretty great age of hip hop. Run the Jewels, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Chance the Rapper, Tribe Called Quest resurgence, Vince Staples, Drake, Young Thug aka Jeffrey... like... we're in a golden age.

there's a couple of shitty meme rappers i can't stand but i think the state of hip hop is strong

I only see him really caring for ATCQ's resurgence. I don't think he'll really jive with anyone else there, especially Thug

Also you forgot Future's run and Gucci's resurgence.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

In no particular order. And these would probably change depending on my mood at the time of making the list.

Grizzly Bear and Weezer

You need some Fiona Apple too! Maybe some James Blake as well.

I almost added Fiona Apple to this list. I like her a lot.

You've should've put her over Grizzly Bear. Are you ready for the new Feist album?!

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I'm definitely forgetting something and some of these really shouldn't be here. Some of my favourite things to listen to rn and some old favourites. Please don't shit on my taste in music like you guys always do. I hate it as well.

Maybe Blood Orange and Foster the People?

How do you have Plastic Beach over S/T and Demon Days?

Also, for a lot of artists I didn't know which album to pick so I just went with the nicer artwork.

The album cover for Watching Movies With the Sound Off easily trumps The Divine Feminine's though.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

roughly, old and newer stuff. That top 4 is probably my real top 4 though, give or take.

kids/stillmatic/ a few others should be second tier classics, not enough squares

I don't even listen to Eminem nowadays but you gotta pay homage n whatnot. I also play wayy less old school hip hop on the regular not cause I dislike it I just bump different things. my feelings change and stuff


I see you Zulfy/Uzi/inte/Bins


FUCK. A KID NAMED CUDI SHOULD BE ON SECOND TIER. IMAGINE IT THERE.

Man I can think of only of 3 or 4 hip-hop albums I hold as in high esteem as Illmatic. Absolutely perfect, all the way through. Perfect length. Perfect flow between tracks. Nas is simply at his best on it.

Nice to see Faces on here. Tape is so slept on.

Have you heard of Freddie Gibbs?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

damn was not very good comparatively to the rest of his discography

False.

i saw him in concert and he was so drunk he was slurring words on stage. it was not good :9

He was going through some shit during that time.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Cloud Nothings?

i should listen to crystal castles again

I'm mad they fell off after S/T.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Other Ben Jordan thing is ok

excuse me
that benn jordan album is top tier ambient

Dude, this is totally the opposite of what I thought you listened to

I enjoy listening to literally any genre but I tend to stick with my bipolar disorder and listen to things that are either really quiet and ambient, or really loud and glitchy

Ah I see.

My mind is just blown right now man. I thought you were a dusthead after we had that discussion about Carti.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

You've should've put her over Grizzly Bear.

Veckatimest is pretty great don't be like that :')

P-Edit: I like Attack on Memory a decent amount but I don't know if I'd call them a favourite. A little more emo than what I normally listen to yknow?

Nah, Chi knows I hate Grizzly Bear and Animal Collective

Oh and yeah I can see that. I just figured you would like them since they're kinda inspired by The Pixies.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Why you gotta hate people who make weird music? D:

And I'll be honest, I don't hear that comparison at all lol

For what it's worth, I've listened to most of Animal Collective through having a close friend. To keep it short, I think they're one of the most overrated bands of all time. I don't find any of their songs particularly memorable and I don't think there is any ingenuity in regards to composition or strictly from a recording perspective. I would not care to be a fly on the wall for any of their recording sessions, I pretty much know exactly how they make each "masterpiece".

As for Cloud Nothings, how can you not hear it? Dylan Baldi literally worships Steve Albini who helped produced Surfer Rosa

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Maybe Blood Orange and Foster the People?

How do you have Plastic Beach over S/T and Demon Days?

I'll check out Blood Orange and I fuck with Foster the People.

Literally all Gorillaz albums are amazing, Plastic Beach just has special significance to me.

I heard they're about to announce a new album

I have very conflicting opinions on Gorillaz discography after Demon Days. Plastic Beach just isn't as consistently good as self-titled and Demon Days. The last third of the album (Pirate Jets comes to mind) just doesn't carry the pace and quality set by the opening of the album. That said, Empire Ants is one of my favorite Gorillaz songs.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I kept it to 25 and am wholly unsatisfied with this exercise. I think i need 3 seperate list of 25. Whatever. tell me my taste sucks and make fun of fetty wap being literally my favorite album of 2015.

Holy shit My Name is My Name! That album was underrated severely.

Push has been so consistent since Pharrell signed him. Feels like he's had the bar game on lock forever though.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I kinda hate the Gorillaz

Why?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Idk man...they just are boring to me. It's like the opposite of Drake. Gorillaz find something they like and they like make a song with that person and it sounds pretty similar to what they were doing before the song was title Blah - Gorillaz ft whoever. Where Drake finds something he likes, does his version of it, and then it's like boom Drake does dancehall now, or whatever.

Pusha T is the most underrated rapper of all time. If you count his stuff with Clipse, his discography will stand up to anyone. Period.

Hell Hath No Fury, Lord Willin', My Name is My Name, Darkest Before Dawn is supposedly B sides and was absolute fire.

Edit: @Binz, yeah, it's just my opinion. Feel free to like them. I just have never understood the hype.

First part is false, second is arguably true.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Who's more underrated?

I feel that the only guy not in The Conversation that should be in that conversation, is Pusha, which by default makes him most underrated.

Big Pun? Black Thought? GZA? Jean Grae? Royce da 5'9?

That's just to start to be honest, like I don't even listen to any of the above but Push isn't that slept on.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

UGHHH WHY ISN'T DEMON DAYS ON MY FUCKING LIST

im going to cry

You can always redo and make it top 100

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Who's more underrated?

I feel that the only guy not in The Conversation that should be in that conversation, is Pusha, which by default makes him most underrated.

Big Pun? Black Thought? GZA? Jean Grae? Royce da 5'9?

That's just to start to be honest, like I don't even listen to any of the above but Push isn't that slept on.

Big Pun is consistently put in the conversation.

Also, just saying, but if you google best rappers of all time; Big Pun, Black Thought, and GZA are all mentioned. Royce not close to the conversation, I don't know Jean Grae.

I never hear anyone talking about them to be honest, especially GZA.

I think you're confusing underrated with under appreciated.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

No, you just have a poor grasp on The Conversation.

Liquid Swords is CONSISTENTLY talked about as one of the best hip hop albums ever.

Pusha is someone that NOBODY puts in the conversation. No publication, no head, nobody. And quite frankly, he deserves to be there.

No you weren't clear. Now you're arguing he is one of the best of all time which is vastly different from underrated.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Below the Heavens is often regarded as one of the best albums of all time but if you ask most people, they would consider Blu underrated.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I don't think underrated =/= best of all time worthy. Just means not talked about or praised enough in my opinion.

You were basically telling me that his discography is just as good as Biggie's, Nas', Rakim's, etc.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Her Favorite Colour man.

Shame he fell off.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I'm seeing Gorillaz in June, I think! In Toronto.

You gotta post pictures!

[Lil Uzi Vert]

t means not talked about or praised enough in my opinion.

You were basically telling me that his discography is just as good as Biggie's, Nas', Rakim's, etc.

It is.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

It is.

the is that you think Nas and Biggie are still great after rap has evolved for 20 years after their best album was released.

It's like saying Oscar Robinson is the best basketball player of all time when he was really just the first guy to reach what we know consider basic basketball competency.

Now I know I'm being trolled

If we're being real, the only hip-hop albums from this decade that are touching Illmatic and Ready to Die are the ones in Kendrick's discography, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, The Life of Pablo, and Yeezus.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

In no particular order. And these would probably change depending on my mood at the time of making the list.

Grizzly Bear and Weezer

You need some Fiona Apple too! Maybe some James Blake as well.

I almost added Fiona Apple to this list. I like her a lot.

You've should've put her over Grizzly Bear. Are you ready for the new Feist album?!

You're probably right about that. And yes! We can talk about it after it comes out.

Deal

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I forgot to put blue album on my list =(.

James Blake is dope. I should probably re-listen to overgrown or give the colour in anything a first listen....

Blake won't ever top his debut but I still have so much love for The Colour in Anything. It's his most soulful work to date. His vocals have always been wonderful and he is so fragile when he hits the falsetto. There is so much emotion in his voice, and his lyrics are always simple and ambiguous so you get to interpret this beauty yourself.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

ost man


i wanna see how your tastes like

lately i've listened to....

yeezus - was pretty good. best parts are samples. lyrics are kinda shit.

olivia tremor control - good interesting band. foliage is just really weird and really nice, and dusk at cubist castle feels like a great ol psych rock record.

animal collective - i listened to stg,stv, sung tongs, strawberry jam, and feels. strawberry jam was my favorite, but i just cant really get into this band sorry

Shit lyrics on Yeezus? Were you asleep through Black Skinhead, New Slaves, I Am a God, Hold My Liquor, and Blood on the Leaves?

mpp?

i already listened to that

completely forgettable

Sesq speaking the truth!

How do you have Slime Season 3 over Barter 6?

Props for having A.L.L.A. on here though. A.L.L.A. is Rocky's magnum opus and I'll never understand the hate it gets.

MBDTF is an overhyped p4k meme

You have Cole on your chart. Dude has been trying to recreate The College Dropout his whole career. You can't talk about MBTDF or any other Kanye album.

MBDTF is one of the best albums ever made, sorry that you have bad taste.

I do think Yeezus isn't as great as a lot of people make it out to be.

Man Yeezus is a classic. The whole album and era influenced a ton of mainstream artists to go for more bold and avant-grade production in recent years. I guarantee you To Pimp A Butterfly wouldn't have been as weird and ambitious production wise without Yeezus.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Objectively: MBTDF, 808s, Yeezus, The College Dropout, Graduation, LR, Pablo

Personally: The College Dropout, 808s, MBTDF, Yeezus, Graduation, Pablo, LR

Strangely enough im not a huge fan of Barter 6. Idk.

And yea agree 100%. I can definitely understand people who prefer live love or long live, but when they talk shit on alla i just dont get it

I can't imagine liking Thug and not loving the shit out of Bater 6

I even prefer 1 & 2 to 3 but Drippin' is amazing.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Drippin was my most played track of 2016 according to spotify

Don't blame you

His flow on that is just crazy.

i didn't realize these charts are objective truths of the greats and not what you like to listen to lol

this kind of circlejerk pretentious vitriol for such a middle of the pack album kills me lmao

They aren't but your opinion is literally invalid due to having Cole

? i like bro rap i mean i recognize it aint gonna be moving the genre or anyones lives

my typical jam shit is migos.

That's more like it. Culture is an AOTY candidate.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

the point is i'd still rather seriously listen again to yeezus, pablo, or college dropout before i listen to mbdtf with the exclusion of runaway (:)). i rly don't think its better than any of those

I mean it's cool, like I don't care at the end of the day. It is just rare to find someone who isn't an old head that says MBTDF objectively isn't his best album.

Still though, no love for Dark Fantasy, Gorgeous, Power, Devil in a New Dress, Hell of a Life, or Blame Game?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

all this talk about hip-haps doesn't anyone listen to sad brained romantic ambient music like me

I don't like drugs either.

hey buddy you take that back or I'm gonna do shrooms and listen to diamanda galas and blame my bad trip on you

Or atmospheric alternative rock that relies on sonic textures as much as melody like me?

[Lil Uzi Vert]

i should listen to more ambient

listened to ravedeath 1972 and tired sounds of stars of the lid recently, both were nice

I mean I could try to get into ambient again. Found it very boring my first two go arounds.

for ambient music, try Ben Frost's "By The Throat"
for drone, try out Celer's "Discourses for the Withered"

and if you really wanna feel sad, William Basinski's "Melancholia"

I tried

Just isn't for me

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Since I know I can get there if I gave effort and school is coming to a close, I'm going to start working on a top 100

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I cant think of a genre of music that is decidedly not for me
maybe nu-metal or buttrock lmao

Electronic, jazz, and most rock isn't for me.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

GUYS THE NEW GORILLAZ ALBUM

IS SHIT

[Lil Uzi Vert]

More charts, less Gorillaz.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

GUYS THE NEW GORILLAZ ALBUM

IS SHIT

go away

Recycle Bin classic

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Need more like Mac and Savior

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Need more like Mac and Savior

really digging mac's new album so far.

It might end up being my favorite album by him when it's all said and done. I love the sense of maturity and emotion displayed that goes well with how he switched things up again to show he wasn't just an old dog who couldn't learn those new tricks. I wanted him to explore the synthy side to him while not sticking with the same sound, and that's exactly what we got. The album feels serious while being playful at times. My favorite stretch of the album is the final four songs as those are probably his strongest consecutive songs!

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Updated 11.

It's a lot more accurate now. I tried to do 50 but I just don't listen to enough music.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Give me recs!

[Lil Uzi Vert]

but I just don't listen to enough music.

What?

I don't

You know how picky I am.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Uhhhh tryyyyyy...hmmmmmmm

The Mountain Goats - The Sunset Tree is a really good one

Will give it a listen tommorow

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Give me recs!

Fleet Foxes? Foals? Aye Nako? Modern Baseball? Kehlani? Give Kamaiyah another shot causes she's fucking great?

Pedit: Second Mountain Goats but listen to the wrestling album.

Also I'm really feeling Thot Breaker.

Those suggestions

I'll definitely peep The Mountain Goats though.

Thot Breaker was a let down. I feel like Future and Thug did that style better with Hndrxx and BTG.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

Favorites of 2017, making an archaic list of all-time favorites is nigh impossible for me given that my preferences change constantly.

Neon Indian and Toro y Moi might be right up your alley.

[Lil Uzi Vert]

I know both and own a VEGA INTL Night School t-shirt I got at his concert

Nice!
