2015 Appreciation Thread...

[murksiderock]

Was 2015 the greatest year in music this decade? Hip hop, I really think has a case. Granted, we still have to get thru 2019 to definitively say, but my early vote for greatest year of the 2010s (2010-2019) is 2015...

Here are some of the classics and near-classics released in 2015:

To Pimp A Butterfly (Kendrick Lamar)
If You're Reading This It's Too Late (Drake)
What A Time To Be Alive (Future/Drake)
Dirty Sprite 2 (Future)
You Should Be Here (Kehlani)
Beauty Behind The Madness (The Weeknd)
Documentary 2/2.5 (Game)
It's Better This Way (Big Krit)
Summertime Shootout (Fabolous)

These are just off the top I can remember banging all year, I know I'm forgetting some. Everybody feel free to post other classic/near-classic albums from '15, and if yall feel another year this decade was stronger than '15, let's chop it up!

I know for me, I was playing all this shyt into 2016, both years were hella fun and wild for me. I got good memories of the music that dropped that year, and honestly I'm a guy who listens more to music of my adolescence (2000s/2000-2009) more than to modern music or older shyt (I listen to about as much 90s shyt as I do today's shyt)...

Let's tall about it!

Jay Rock dropped "90059", Scarface came back with "Deeply Rooted" also Freddie Gibbs with "Shadow Of A Doubt" towards the end of the year. 2015 was a solid year

Pusha T "Darkest Before Dawn" was ill. Including a standout cut that didn't even make the album bit was used in promo:



My bad, this joint was '16 but was still classic...

I got indroduced to the seed of 6ix back then.

That year was also the year drake and meek mill had a feud. That shot was hands down the most sad and pathetic shyt I have ever witnessed in the history of hip hop.

 

[GPBear]

Definitely was the culmination of a lot of shyt, felt like America was finally gonna progress and then immediately fukked up and elected an orange Nazi

Tetsuo & Youth & Album About Nothing also dropped.
That July also provided more than enough entertainment

 

[murksiderock]

I gotta slap myself, how did I forget about "Suffolk County" by Cousin Stizz????

 

[murksiderock]

I just gotta say, I'm hella reminiscent of '15. That was my year and I'm getting '15 vibes about this year...

Stizz be talking that Boston shyt and I love it!
