These are the hip-hop albums of 2010-present that REALLY matter:

Kanye: MBDTF, WTT, Yeezus, TLOP
Kendrick: Section.80, good kid, TPAB, DAMN.
A Tribe Called Quest: We Got it from here...
Vince Staples: Summertime '06, and maybe Big Fish Theory
A$AP Rocky: LiveLove, LongLive
Danny Brown: XXX, Old, Atrocity Exhibition
Chance: Acid Rap, and I guess Coloring Book
Pusha T: MNIMN, Darkest Before Dawn
Shabazz Palaces: Black Up, Lese Majesty
Death Grips: Money Store, No Love Deep Web
Earl: Doris
Black Milk: No Poison, No Paradise
Frank Ocean: Channel Orange, Blonde
Freddie Gibbs & Madlib - Piñata
Ghostface: 12 Reasons to Die (first one, before he started repeated himself to a ridiculous degree)
And, yes, JAY-Z: 4:44

I'm probably missing a few, but my point is... like 99% of this shit is forgettable ass shit. Underachievers went nowhere. Run the Jewels have become pretty intolerable, so even though I do like their first and third albums well enough, I'm not about to say they really "matter," and I think they've gotten old and that their albums have little repeat-listen value. Denzel Curry went nowhere. YG bleh. The Game has overdone it by doing the same thing over and over and not seeming to give much of a fuck about quality. Even A$AP Rocky has slipped, and I'm really on the fence about whether or not he'll be able to pull another good album off. Wu-Tang bungled it. Future is largely a disappointment. Drake is... just... wow. Y'know? I was almost rooting for him when IYRTITL came out. Still think that's a fairly tight album, but the sounds are fucking so old and boring now and the face is more punchabke than anything ever. Young Thug has yet to impress me in a lasting way. Wayne is dead as fuck, or nearly there. 2 Chainz is just second rate, even if he's likable... none of his music has any lasting value. All the Lil Uzi and co. types are just boring, with the occasional good track, but nothing great. Migos and Rae Srummond are both pretty forgettable in my opinion, though they might grow into something. Haven't yet.
