My 10 favorite rap albums of all time: 10: To Pimp a Butterfly (Kendrick Lamar) Some of you out there might get M.A.A.D that I placed this so low on the list or that I picked it over the phenomenal Good Kid, M.A.AD City, but I still believe To Pimp A Butterfly is a funk masterpiece. I remember seeing reviews of it when the record first dropped saying “It sounds like a crazy person broke out of the asylum just to release this album”, but to me, they just don’t get it. The album as a whole, felt so free form and suits Kendrick so much better than what he usually does. Alright is still considered a black pride anthem by many and the single version of “i” is still one of my favorite Kendrick songs today. 9: Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World (Lil Uzi Vert) Now, before I get hate for this one, I have to go off the record and say that I LOVE Lil Uzi Vert. In a world of Lil Pumps and Lil Yachtys, Lil Uzi is probably the least hated mumble rapper in the game right now. And aside from probably my favorite song of his, “XO Tour Llif3”, Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World is my favorite thing he’s made. I remember the album catching my attention for the simple fact that the album art was based on the Scott Pilgrim comics’ art style. And this album was actually the first mumble rap album I actually liked. It’s because of it that I anticipated Lil Uzi’s “The Perfect Luv” so much. Though in my opinion, the darker tone that Vs. The World had fit Uzi much better. 8. Free 6lack (6lack) Many respect 6lack for starting out as a rapper and becoming something more. When I first heard Free 6lack and its opening song “Never Know”, I was immediately blown away by 6lack’s flow. It was more than just mumble rap, in fact it was very lyrical. It was more like he was singing. This album showed me and many others just who 6lack was and what he was capable of. 7. The Best of N.W.A (N.W.A) Okay, so this might seem like a cop out, but I was extremely torn between N.W.A’s debut album, Straight Outta Compton and their last studio album, Niggaz4Life mostly because without Ice Cube, Dre, Ren, and Eazy really shine with their word play and DJ Yella gets more time to show off. On the other hand, Straight Outta Compton was great because Ice Cube wrote most of the lyrics masterfully for their first outing. Plus, Express yourself is N.W.A’s best song. Fight me. 6. Coloring Book (Chance The Rapper) I was a huge fan of Chance for reasons that’ll be clear soon. So I was definitely waiting weeks for this album to drop. When it did, I was stunned by the features: Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Jeremih, Kanye West, Justin Bieber, D.R.A.M, Lil Yachty. This album is straight up NUTS, but in a Christian way. Within the first hour of this album dropping, people through around the word “masterpiece”. In fact, Coloring Book IS a gospel rap masterpiece. Everyone was going crazy for this mixtape Chance released for free. Not only that, this was the first mixtape ever given out for free to win a Grammy. 5. Acid Rap (Chance The Rapper) “Wow, Hip Hop Historian, you must really like Chance.” Fuck yes I do. Chance is God’s gift to man. This was my first Chance album and it made me fall in love with Chance. The first time I heard the album was browsing SoundCloud and stumbling across “Favorite Song” because of Gambino’s feature. I listened to the rest of the album and now I know the track list by heart. There’s a song here for everyone. Whether you wanna listen to something conscious, you want to vibe, or you just wanna have a good time. And the way Chance starts and ends this album with “Good Ass Intro” and “Good Ass Outro” is simply incredible. IGH! 4. “Awaken! My Love” (Childish Gambino) Putting this on the list was always gonna be controversial. This isn’t exactly a “rap album” but being an album under the genre or hip hop and by a rapper, it qualifies it. Anyway, this is another album where the word “Masterpiece” was tossed around a lot. I could probably attest to that. Although not my favorite Gambino album, and probably Donald’s least favorite album to make, you can’t argue with the results. This album solidified Gambino as not just a great rapper, but an amazing artist. “Awaken! My Love” is quite simply a funk magnum opus. Songs like “Me and Your Mama”, “Boogieman”, and “Riot” instantly stand out to me. “Baby Boy” is a beautiful track, and anyone who hasn’t listened to the sensation that is “Redbone” has never experienced true joy. 3. The College Dropout (Kanye West) Okay, here we get into some real shit for me. No matter what anyone says, Watch The Throne, 808s and Heartbreak, Graduation, Yeezus, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy will never compare to Kanye’s first studio release. The College Dropout was the album that got my high school English teacher into rap when he was a teen. Kanye just never released an album more down to Earth than it. In his other albums, it always seems like Kanye’s putting on this persona, while in The College Dropout, we get a side of Kanye that lived a lower class lifestyle for almost 20 years. Because of that, we have songs like “It All Falls Down” and the 10 minute “Last Call” where Kanye just keeps the beat going to tell us all about how much he struggled just for a deal. 2. Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde (Pharcyde) If you asked me what my favorite old school hip hop album was, I’d tell you it’s Bizarre Ride. If you asked me my favorite Pharcyde member, I’d say Fatlip. No, wait! Imani! This album just has so much variety to it. From the funkadelic Soul Flower Remix to the slow and impactful Passin’ Me By. A copy of both Bizarre Ride and LabcabinCalifornia need to be locked away in a vault for safe keeping. Pharcyde in general are essential to the history of hip hop and are one of the most important rap groups ever. I could honestly geek out and quote this album forever until I die. 1. Because The Internet (Childish Gambino) Now, I don’t mean to ride on Donald Glover so much, but not only is he my favorite rapper, but he’s my idol. He does it all. From movies, to tv, to standup. And all of that really shows on this album. Alongside the album came a short film written by Gambino named “Clapping For The Wrong Reasons”, and a companion piece to the album in the form of a screenplay also written by Gambino. The screenplay and all it’s mysteries have to be my favorite part of the story to this borderline rap concept album. I know I said Bizarre Ride had variety, but this album is on a whole ‘nother level. From songs everyone knows like the heartfelt “3005”(which has my favorite music video ever) to the silly “Sweatpants”, there’s so many gems in this gold encrusted diamond of an album. And along with Bizarre Ride, Because The Internet is one of the albums that I know every single lyric to. Plus, this album has my favorite Gambino song ever, “Crawl”. And I’d just like to point out that when Chance had Gambino featured on Acid Rap, he let him rap a whole verse and take over one of the choruses. But when Gambino has Chance featured on “The Worst Guys”, he has Chance repeat the same five words over and over again. I love Gambino to death. Because The Internet isn’t the cleanest album ever, in fact it’s sloppy and seems rushed together in hindsight, but that’s just it. This album represents Childish Gambino’s down to Earth starving artist phase and that’s something I can relate to heavily. I love Because The Internet.

The Most Inspirational lyric I’ve ever heard:

When most people get asked about the most “inspirational” lyric in a rap song, most people will probably turn to something from Eminem’s “Not Afraid”, Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” and “I” or Tupac’s “Keep Ya Head Up”. But I think of something that hits home in so many different ways with nine simple words. Chance The Rapper gained MASSIVE popularity in 2016 when he dropped his mixtape “Coloring Book”, which, to many in the hip hop community is highly regarded as an “electric-gospel masterpiece”. Chancellor Bennet grew up on the streets of Chicago listening to many of his rap heroes like Kanye West or OutKast. When he started his career near the beginning of the 2010s, he only released his mixtapes for free with a dedicated cult following. Fast forward to Summer of 2016 and nothing has really changed, save for his new worldwide fame. He continues releasing his mixtapes for free. It’s always been a staple of Chance’s music. Now, I’ve never been a fan of Christian Music, even rap. But artists like Kanye West and Chance have pushed the boundaries of what Christian Music can be with tracks such as Kanye’s song, “Jesus Walks” and almost the entirety of Chance’s “Coloring Book”, and this shows. Since the release of “Coloring Book”, Chance has been the only artist to win a Grammy for a mixtape. The fact that it fits into the often ignored genre of Christian Music speaks volumes. However, it’s not “Coloring Book” I want to talk about. It’s not even technically a Chance The Rapper song for that matter. Later that same year, Hip Hop superstar, Kanye West released his much anticipated album “Life of Pablo” much to his fans’ delight. And the beautiful and powerful opening song was to set the mood for the rest of the album: “Ultralight Beam”. The track starts out with a child praising Jesus as if he were a priest giving a sermon then continues very gospel-like with a choir singing and religious lyrics such as “We on an ultralight beam, we on an ultralight beam, This is a God Dream, This is a God Dream, This is everything.” expressing Kanye’s feelings as though he’s blessed by God to be in the music industry and to have the fame he currently has. The track continues with more Kanye and some incredibly deep gospel singing. Then comes Chance’s part… “You can feel the lyrics, the spirit coming in braille Tubman of the underground, come and follow the trail I made Sunday Candy, I’m never going to hell I met Kanye West, I’m never going to fail” That last line gave me chills and almost made me break down in tears the first time I heard it. First off, Chance The Rapper grew up listening to Kanye as a young ghetto kid for Chicago. He was one of Chance’s idols and someone he looked up to. Keep in mind, Chance personally knows both Jay-Z and Beyoncé, so for him to be on a Kanye song definitely means the world to him. On a personal level, this resonates with me as both a Hip Hop fan and an individual in general. As a fan, I love seeing these inspirational success stories of artists blowing up and being star struck by their role models whom they later perform with, but as a person, it’s much more than that. Those simple nine words “I met Kanye West, I’m never going to fail” fill me with nothing but faith and determination. As a person living with depression, never believing I’m good enough or that I’ll never amount to anything, it’s Chance The Rapper that puts so much hope in the future that I can’t help but smile with tears rushing down my face. And if you don’t know Chance, he has two voices: one is a high pitched voice he uses for fast, comedic punchlines and the other is deep and filled with so much soul. Him switching his verse up by using the latter in that line further cements his message. Also, the overall tone of the song is expanded upon by Kirk Franklin: “Father, this prayer is for everyone that feels they’re not good enough This prayer’s for everybody that feels like they’re too messed up For everyone that feels they’ve said “I’m sorry” too many times You can never go too far when you can’t come back home again That’s why I need… Faith” All of that combined with Chance’s simple nine words are the thing that give me the drive I need everyday I wake up hoping it’s my last day. I smile knowing Chance The Rapper exists in the same world as me as well as what’s probably my favorite Christian Song ever made.
