Top Ten Tuesday: C-Bo - HipHop

I personally really enjoyed it. I never listened to a full album from him before, my intro was his features on ROTD3. I also listened to the singles leading up to the album, GED was on heavy rotation for awhile.

Love his flow and I love his introspection. The production was also great throughout and all the features brought it. Right now my top three are probably Be Okay, Eye to Eye and Changes.

This one might make its way into my top 5 this year, great album overall.

Big Boi: Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty (2010)

9.2 → 7.7

In 2010, Big Boi had a lot of goodwill on his side. Maybe too much. Ever since OutKast first set the standard for Southern rap in the '90s, he was often wrongly seen as André 3000's sidekick—the straight-talking everyman to Dre's extraterrestrial funk fiend. With his long-awaited official solo debut coming out, it was time to correct the record. Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is still a good time—"Shine Blockas" and "Shutterbugg" can bounce with the best—but there are other questionable moments that may have been charitably overlooked. The ghastly modern rock crossover attempt featuring a band called Vonnegut. The old man-isms decrying a lack of real hip-hop. The T.I. sex raps. Looking back, the record sounds more like an end of an era rather than the start of something exciting and new. –Ryan Dombal

Knxwledge: Hud Dreems (2015)

7.2 → 8.4

Knxwledge's love for all things vintage gospel, R&B, and hip-hop coalesce into a distinct haze that's cast a large shadow over the independent beat scene. He'd been releasing projects since the late 2000s, but his 2015 Stones Throw debut Hud Dreems, released shortly after landing a beat on Kendrick Lamar's jazz-rap opus To Pimp a Butterfly that year, was an enormous leap in ambition.

The album's 26 songs are condensed into a staggered free-flowing suite of distorted samples, vocals, and film clips that warped nostalgia into something alien, familiar but wholly unrecognizable. These murky soundscapes are now the norm within independent hip-hop, holding nearly as much sway as the drumless loops revitalized by rapper-producer Roc Marciano. Beyond the inevitable shine Hud Dreems received post-Kendrick placement, it remains Knxwledge's most holistic project six years later. His fascination with Black music's past provided a template for its future. –Dylan Green

Chief Keef: Back From the Dead (2012)

7.9 → 9.1

You learn a shit ton about Chief Keef on his breakout 2012 mixtape Back From the Dead: He is so addicted to True Religion that he implausibly considers himself a fiend for a pair of jeans; he smokes insane amounts of dope every single day, so much so that his excessive coughing understandably causes people to think he has asthma; he doesn't do love instead he would rather hang out with the bros. OK, maybe Back From the Dead doesn't have the depth and vulnerability that would come along as Keef got a little older. But it remains the standard for drill at its rawest and most inventive. The Young Chop beats sound like he stripped ATL trap to its barebones and built something new on top of that foundation and Keef's warbling flows make the unveiling of every frivolous detail a massive revelation. –Alphonse Pierre
