FAQ:

Q: Why is Gunna #2? I remember reading he beat the Weeknd?

A: Gunna won the more coveted Billboard 200 #1. When people say that an album went #1, they're referring to the Billboard 200. The Billboard 200 doesn't release actual sales numbers for most releases like HDD does. HDD and Billboard 200 are both industry standards. HDD gave Gunna 2k more sales and the Weeknd 6k more sales, so the Weeknd ended up outselling Gunna for HDD's chart. We aren't going to switch to using the Billboard 200 just for the two top results. HDD is better for comparing across weeks because they give more sales information.

Q: Deluxe's are on here? How does that work?

A: It's just the sales for the album in that week. Counts all the sales/streaming done including songs on original album in the week that the deluxe dropped. Technically not a first week but interesting to look at (to me) so they're included.

Q: Source?

A: http://hitsdailydouble.com/sales_plus_streaming

Q: How is this list sorted?

A: It's sorted by the total first-week sales

Q: What are pure sales?

A: Pure sales are purchases of the album (iTunes, Amazon, physicals, etc)

Q: What are track equivalent sales?

A: Track equivalent sales (or TEA/Track Equivalent Albums) is a term used to describe the sale of music downloads or singles. A track equivalent album is equal to 10 tracks, or 10 songs

Q: Where is X album?

A: Only albums that make the top 50 in sales+streaming for their debut week are counted

Q: Why do some albums show exact sales numbers while others do not?

A: The albums that do not show exact numbers are the ones that have had sales corrections from Billboard

Q: Where can I find last year's list?

A: 2021 list, 2020 list, 2019 list, 2018 list, 2017 list, 2016 list

If you're looking for a recommendation give a description/music link/artist so that other people will know what you want.

Example: "I want to hear an artist that sounds like old Kanye production" (you can get more specific but usually enough). And then someone will respond with recommendations X, Y, and Z.

You can also leave a top level comment recommending an artist/project/scene that you think others might like if they like X, Y, and Z.

Example: "You guys should check out DJ Mustard's mixtape Ketchup RIYL (recommended if you like) post-hyphy and minimalistic west coast beats"

Remember, the point of this thread is to share music, try not to post stuff that's already really popular unless it answers someone's question.

The more descriptive you guys are with your posts, the easier it is to help you find what you want. Just stating an artist's name isn't that helpful since you might only like one specific aspect of that artist's music.

Why the 2016 XXL Freshman Class Stands as the Best Ever

Posted: 25 Jun 2022 09:48 AM PDT

[FIRST IMPRESSIONS] Lupe Fiasco - Drill Music In Zion

Posted: 25 Jun 2022 02:05 PM PDT

It's been a little more than 24 hours since one of hip hop's most beloved dropped his 8th album. This one was a bit different than his others as he set out to do all the verses for this album within one day (though it ended up being 3). What are everyone's thoughts on it after listening to it over the past 40 hours?

Imo, this album was simply incredible. From the first listen, I fell in love with the soundscape that Soundtrakk has put over this album. Every song is amazing to listen to, the jazz influences are strong and exactly the type of vibe I love to hear Lupe over now. And he came through completely from a sonic perspective: the flows, choruses, refrains, etc. that are on this project all seem to integrate beautifully with the music. The touches of live instrumentation on here are perfect as well, brings me back to Cripple with Elena Pinderhughes on Drogas WAVE. Super easy to put on rotation, and I've been spinning it non-stop since it released.

Lyrically as well, this album is already showing it's high potential, though as with any Lupe album, even one done in 3 days, it'll take some time for everything to sink in. Ayesha's poetry on the intro was beautifully constructed and placed you right into the project mindset from the jump. I'm usually someone who skips intros, but I've found myself never skipping this because of the minimal spacey background instrumental and the rhyme schemes on top of the message being presented of the power within the oppressed.

Ghoti was a gentle track to kick off the songs in the album, and I'm in love with the vibe of this song even though I haven't had the message sink in. The individual bars on this song are pretty fun however, especially in the second verse.

Then we got the first album single with Autoboto, which has grown excellently since it's first release. The return of Carrera Lu, one of the most high energy songs on the album as a bit of a switch up, and the headshots verse at the end is the highlight here for me.

Precious Things is one of my favorite song contenders and the Nayirah chorus here might be her best contribution on the album, absolutely beautiful. The twinkling keys and distorted EDM-ish voices on this build a fantastic instrumental. And Lupe comes through with just an absurd hand-based scheme for all three verses, while also talking about former friends and their attitudes towards him. But then he also ties it into how the hands are no longer used to write down raps, referencing maybe the lack of concentrated lyricism in the current scene, or that he maybe was punching in during this whole song/album? Either way, crazy concept, and very listenable song.

Kiosk has to be the most improved song for me on here, initially did not like the first two verses and the weird filter over the lyrics. As I listened more though, I love the build up here for the first half of the song, because it makes the second half that much more fun after the beat drops and Lupe comes out with a crystal clear third verse. The kiosk concept talking about consumerism, the need for current artists to unnecessarily spend on jewelry. And then flipping it talking about the impact of blood diamonds, and other tragedies that God allows to happen. Another great track, after the second half here, I realized that the album for me was an easy 5 of 5, and I was going to probably end up loving the whole thing a ton.

Then Ms. Mural, to cap off maybe the best trilogy/series in hip hop history. Immediately the instrumental hit, and Lupe telling a story about a patron talking to a painter, while also describing his muses, why he makes the art that he does, and how he's able to do it, is mind blowing. It seems almost like he's talking to his fans/patrons, about his process of making music, which seems very intimate. Then he continues on to talk about the power that art has, and what it's done for him, and the state of the trends over time of how art evolves. As the end of a mural trilogy, I can't think of a better way to close it off than to tie in his song making and painting, especially with Tetsuo and this album having his own painted covers, the song title Mural, and how in all these songs he finds himself painting a picture with his words. Another best song on the album contender.

And the album doesn't fucking let up, because Naomi is another jazz banger. Even Christ took a knife for the team so, swing, might be my favorite Lupe refrain/chorus on the album. The Malcolm X scheme was done super well and fun to listen to. Again the live instrumentation here from Crystal Torres I believe was excellent. Just purely from a sonic perspective, this is yet another best song on the album contender.

And after this crazy run, we get the title track, the second lead single on the album. Beautiful record, unfortunately I literally played this 100+ times over the last week, so for me I had already fell in love with it and it was more of a break during the record. But an incredible song, with the first verse talking about various modern societal concerns (rapid technological development threatening privacy, the pursuit of money, environmental harm, etc.). And then the second verse drills down to a case of a mistaken execution and a story of Lupe annoying him to get back at him? Which is hilarious to think about contrasted to the tragedy of the story. Another incredible track, another best on the album contender for me though it seems to maybe not flow perfectly between the last two songs?

Penultimate song with Seattle probably one of my least favorite songs, and I still love it. The chorus is a bit too poppy for me, but Lupe coming in on the verses is still classic. I do have to be in the right mood for this one sometimes, and I think this one might end up being a grower. Also haven't really been able to distill the message of this song yet.

Which leads us to the closer On Faux Nem (Chicago slang for facts, which contrasts the lying chorus throughout the song). Maybe the most beautiful song I've heard talking about the unfortunate passing away of a lot of rap artists recently. The first verse's moment of silence was powerful and gave me time to think about the artists that have passed away recently. The talk of the hypocrisy in a lot of rap, especially drill, that talks about killing and murdering people is incredibly strong. Although it sounds "cool", or menacing, or powerful, what Lupe says in the chorus strikes deep, no matter if you enjoy hearing the songs or not, you really hope that people aren't doing what they're saying on these songs. Then comes in with the jail/plane verse, also talking about the unfortunate subjects that hip hop has been filled with, and how Lupe himself is a part of the problem (either the p, or the beginning/cause of it, or the roblem, the end and the result of people before him contributing to it). Brings back Hurt Me Soul vibes here, and the closing posthumous album/life insurance policy line is one of the best one liners in the album. And then he comes with the 4th verse, where he talks about his thoughts on religion, sometimes wanting it to be false, sometimes wanting it to be true. For my fellow Hindus here, the "Wear my dharma like it's armor 'cause I don't wanna return to the wheel of the quivering meat conception" line is an excellent reference to breaking the cycle of reincarnation by following your dharma (duty), and it's awesome to hear your favorite rapper give a shout out to your culture/religion like that. Yet another song of the album contender.

Overall, album for me was near perfect, probably going to be my album of the year, and one of my favorite albums in general, especially with this concise run time. Could see this becoming my most listened to Lupe project, and Drogas WAVE is my favorite album of all time. ~9.5 out of 10, if not a full 10

(DISCUSSION) Doja Cat - Planet Her (1 Year Later)

Posted: 25 Jun 2022 09:54 AM PDT

Planet Her is the third studio album by Doja Cat, which was released on June 25, 2021. She first teased the album back in mid-2020 during her VMA interview saying the album has different sounds but that it is similar to 2019's Hot Pink. The album's lead single "Kiss Me More" was released on April 9th 2021. Followed by "Need To Know" On June 11th

Personally think this was one of the best albums of last year. Doja really stepped up her game and delivered an album full of hits. I love the dreamy feel this album gives off and Doja's performance only elevates that feeling. My favorite tracks are Woman, Payday, Get Into It, Need To Know, I Don't Do Drugs, You Right, Options, Kiss Me More and Why Why

Posted: 25 Jun 2022 08:13 PM PDT

It's roughly been about 24 hours since Cochise dropped his second studio album "THE INSPECTION"

For me personally this will probably end up topping Benbow Crescent. It's a lot more consistent and much shorter. The production is top notch and Cochise continues to deliver really great performances over the beats. Also a big fan of the features as well! Sosa and Nudy never miss, especially on features.

My favorite tracks are....fuck it, all of em lmao. This album bangs

One year ago Evidence released his latest studio album Unlearning Vol. 1 via Rhymesayers Entertainment. The album includes features from Boldy James, Conway, Navy Blue, Fly Anakin and Murkage Dave. Production credits on the album goes to a whole host of talented producers, including Evidence himself and Alchemist.

Personally this is one of my most listened to albums from 2021, and I really like the personal side Evidence is showing in his raps on this project. How do you guys feel about the album?

How does it compare to his other solo albums? How does it compare to his discography as a part of Dilated Peoples and Step Brothers?

TLDR; link to review: https://nicksmusiclist.com/reviews/vinyl-days/

Hey everyone,

I think music reviews are a great way to introduce people to music that they'd otherwise never hear about. I also love writing them, since the process helps me digest an album deeply in a way that's tough to do otherwise.

The challenge is making the review experiential. Text-based reviews can be fun to read, but can still leave you without a good sense of what the music will sound like. YouTube-based reviews can often include song clips, but then they risk being demonetized (or, more often, they're just reaction videos that are based on first impressions / unrefined takes).

This isn't a ground-breaking innovation, but I've started embedding short audio clips in my reviews so that people can experience the music as they read along. Ideally, this will help people experience the music in a time-efficient way, so they can end the review with a good sense of whether or not they might enjoy that particular album or artist.

Would love to get this community's reaction. What do you all think? Helpful? Not helpful at all?

No monetization plans for my site, by the way. Just love sharing my enthusiasm for music with as many people as possible.

Nick

I feel like the vocal deliveries of rap artists influenced by jazz musicians really bring something novel to rap music. Pharoahe Monch, Myka 9, Kendrick Lamar, and Busdriver all come to mind.

[DISCUSSION] Westside Boogie - More Black Superheroes (1 week later)

Posted: 24 Jun 2022 09:02 PM PDT

This might be my AOTY so far. My favorite of the ones that dropped last Friday too. Stuck, Aight, Can't Even Lie are my favorites. Also got some surprisingly good features from Soulja Boy and Snoop (not that I expected them to be bad, but they both absolutely exceeded my expectations). What do y'all think?

It's been one week since Logic dropped his new album, Vinyl Days.

After having a bit more time to process it, what are your thoughts? What are your favorite songs? Least favorite songs?

Where does this album stand among the rest of Logic's albums?
