Loved listening to Eminem in my jr. high days, it feels and sounds as edgy and shocking as it did back in the day. The production is nearly flawless (especially on songs like Stan and The Real Slim Shady). Nearly gave this album 5/5 but I'm reminded of how blatantly homophobic and misogynistic hip hop was (and still is).

4.5/5. New Order for the millennial. This band makes me feel some type of way but I can never put it into words. Perhaps nostalgia or the anxious feeling of wasting my 20s.

Neon Bible
Arcade Fire
Lead singer is not a good person but if we separate the art from the artist, this album is perfect. They recorded most of it in a church and the sounds of the pipe organ juxtaposed to cautious lyrics about religion is executed brilliantly. It’s the best Canadian album about how fucked up America is.

Kanye West
4.5/5. He’s not a good person and has lots of issues but to separate the art from the artist, it’s a very special album and I love the minimalistic approach. His sampling is so unique and creative, totally dig the industrial influence too. This Kanye era was something else before he sadly lost his mind.

The Score
Fugees
Would call them a rap supergroup but this was before the members had successful solo careers. Very influential in the genre but like most hip hop albums from its time, the skits are ridiculously stupid and cringeworthy. Glad they’re mostly a thing of the past.

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
OutKast
4.5/5. Every hip hop fan definitely MUST listen to this album before they die, 40 songs in total but was left wanting more at the end. Speakerboxxx is more straightforward with a consistent southern rap sound with typical beats. I like the experimentation in The Love Below.

4.5/5. Everybody not wanting to cancel Kanye because he made Graduation but if there was an album that saves him, it’s this one. A strong debut that puts Kanye’s groundbreaking production and samples on full display. It singlehanded elevated the relevance of alternative hip hop and marked the shift of mainstream hip hop from shitty pseudo gangsta rap towards emotional and socially conscious lyrics.

Nick Drake
The way that he captures melancholy in his lyrics is unmatched and he certainly had a natural talent for the guitar, his choice of tuning is as strange as it is fascinating. Nick Drake was the textbook example of tortured artist, gone too soon but I’m deeply grateful to be able to listen to such a profound work of art in this lifetime.

A staple in the East coast hip hop scene. Interesting choice to use soul samples but it paid off in the long run. The lyrics and raw production are a reflection of the hard times experienced by the Wu-Tang members growing up in a harsh urban NYC environment.

Robert Smith considers this one of his favourite albums and I trust his judgment. The combination of punk rock and keyboards set forth the new wave movement that would dominated the UK in the late 70s and early 80s. Peaches is such a banger.
