Here it is. Any other hip hop record that isnt on this list I either forgot to listen to or rjust didn't care enough about it. |
| 55 |  | Atmosphere
Southsiders
Ugh. 2.0. |
| 54 |  | Future
Honest
2.0. |
| 53 |  | The Game
Year of the Wolf
The imagery in the bonus track "Bloody Moon" was uncomfortable and very unnecessary. 2.5. |
| 52 |  | Yung Lean
Unknown Memory
Didn't like this at all the first listen. I should give this another try but I probably won't. 2.5. |
| 51 |  | Young Jeezy
Seen it All: The Autobiography
I'm sure we can all agree that "Me Ok" is the best song of 2014. 2.5. |
| 50 |  | YG
My Krazy Life
2.5. |
| 49 |  | 50 Cent
Animal Ambition
Honestly though, "Don't Worry Bout' it" is an awesome song. 3.0. |
| 48 |  | Your Old Droog
Your Old Droog
I really don't see why this album is such a big deal. 3.0. |
| 47 |  | Chris Travis
Silence of Me Eternally
worst album I've heard this entire year, but I'm giving it a 3. |
| 46 |  | Madchild
Switched On
3.0. |
| 45 |  | Andy Mineo
Never Land
Coming out of the same camp as Lecrae, you should know what to expect. Decent project with
potential to do a lot better. 3.0. |
| 44 |  | The Grouch and Eligh
The Tortoise and The Crow
Some Really good songs but way too many duds. 3.0. |
| 43 |  | ProbCause
Waves
This is what happens when you let Spotify discover music for you. Childish Gambino meets
Chance the rapper but not nearly as good, of course. 3.0. |
| 42 |  | Black Knights
Medieval Chamber
3.0. |
| 41 |  | Shabazz Palaces
Lese Majesty
3.0. |
| 40 |  | Alpha MC and Pigeon John

| 39 |  | T.I.
Paperwork
3.0. |
| 38 |  | Lil Herb
Welcome to Fazoland
3.0. |
| 37 |  | Mac Miller

A lot of good songs but its way too long. 3.0. |
| 36 |  | The Underachievers
Cellar Door: Terminus Ut Exordium
These guys are trying to hard. 3.0. |
| 35 |  | Bones
Garbage
It's something about Bones and his crew, a lot of their songs are sooo bad they're good, if
that makes sense? 3.5. |
| 34 |  | Antwon
Heavy Hearted in Doldrums
Way too many sexual lyrics and the production could use some work. 3.5. |
| 33 |  | Uncommon Nasa
New York Telephone
Very rough and grimy New York style hip-hop album. The gripe I have with this is that the
extent of how great the best songs on this project are, the worst songs are equally as bad.
3.5. |
| 32 |  | The Doppelgangaz
Peace KEHD
With all the praise this was getting, I was expecting a lot more. 3.5. |
| 31 |  | Mobb Deep
The Infamous Mobb Deep
3.5. |
| 30 |  | Lecrae
Anomaly
Jesus, god, lord, savior. This guy can spit and make a good track though. 3.5. |
| 29 |  | Bones
Skinny
Half of me wants to give this a 1.0 and the other half a 5.0. So I think I'll meet in the
somewhat in middle.3.5. |
| 28 |  | Spaceghostpurrp
IntoXXXicated
3.5. |
| 27 |  | King Louie
Tony
Best of the Drill. 3.5. |

| 24 |  | J. Cole
2014 Forest Hills Drive
3.5. |
| 23 |  | K. Flay
Life as a Dog
Why did I enjoy an album where some chick is crying about what seems to be her ex as much
as I did? 3.5. |
| 22 |  | Busdriver
Perfect Hair
Thought I was going to enjoy this a little bit more, since I am a driver of buses with perfect
hair. 3.5. |
| 21 |  | Clipping
CLPPNG
Great experimental hip-hop. 3.5. |
| 20 | | Common
Nobody's Smiling
Do your thing, Common. 3.5. |
| 19 |  | Vince Staples
Hell Can Wait
Dude killed it on "Hive" so I listened to this right away and I was pleased with it. 3.5. |
| 18 |  | Sir Michael Rocks
Banco
Not the most technical or blah blah blah but nonetheless, it is a very fun listen. 3.5. |
| 17 |  | Ab-Soul
These Days...
Seriously this album has a lot of great tracks and I wanted to rank it higher but like everyone
else, my main complaint is that it's a jumbled mess. 3.5. |
| 16 | | Black Milk
If There's a Hell Below
4.0. |
| 15 |  | Pharoahe Monch
PTSD: Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
4.0. |
| 14 |  | NehruvianDOOM
NehruvianDOOM
4.0. |
| 13 |  | Open Mike Eagle
Dark Comedy
4.0. |
| 12 |  | Freddie Gibbs and Madlib
Pinata
4.0. |
| 11 |  | Schoolboy Q
Oxymoron
Subject matter may lack a bit, but definitely his best work to date and I don't care what
anyone says. A very well thought out idea, good bars from Q and the guest verses (I hate to
say it but even 2 Chains), banging beats and a fun listen. What else could you want? 4.0. |
| 10 |  | Step Brothers
Lord Steppington
4.0. |
| 9 |  | Diamond District
March on Washington
First project I've heard from these guys and I was thoroughly impressed. Not one song
sounds the same as another and all the lyrics on point. 4.0. |
| 8 |  | Run the Jewels
Run the Jewels 2
A little more of a grower than their previous project. 4.0. |
| 7 |  | Logic
Under Pressure
I was truly surprised by how much I enjoyed this album, hopefully he can follow up. 4.0. |
| 6 |  | RATKING
So it Goes
Eagles are our brothers and flowers are our daughters. 4.0. |
| 5 |  | Rittz
Next to Nothing
Excellent follow up to his slightly disappointing debut. On this record he proves he has more
aspects to his game than the double time flow. 4.0. |
| 4 |  | Sadistik
Ultraviolet
Wouldn't expect anything less from him. If you've been sleeping on this guy, stop. 4.0. |
| 3 |  | Isaiah Rashad
Cilvia Demo
Wasting no time, this cat comes out of nowhere to prove that he's for real. He has a very
unique flow and flows great over any beat. Who woulda knew the new cat in TDE would walk
away from 2014 with the best project from their camp? 4.0. |
| 2 |  | Mick Jenkins
The Water[s]
Excellent conceptual album that has everything you could ask for. The constant water
references do get stale about halfway through and is the only thing holding this back. 4.0. |
| 1 |  | Milo
a toothpaste suburb
Nerd rap to the max but there's no denying the amount of thought, time and precision that
took to craft the album. Intelligent and intellectual lyrics, dream-like beats and spine-tingling
moments all put together to create this year?s hip-hop album of the year. 4.5. |
