What’s The Best Rap Album of 2017? Back in 2017 hip hop fans were blessed to have a year of amazing album releases from a variety of sub-genres. Some of the year’s most memorable albums include Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. and Jay-Z’s 4:44. The main topic of conversation for this podcast episode was the stand-out albums from 2017. We spoke about trap albums such as Playboi Carti’s self-titled, Migos’ Culture, 21 Savage, Metro Boomin and Offset’s Without Warning, and more. In terms of experimental hip hop we spoke about the Saturation series from BROCKHAMPTON and Tyler The Creator’s Flower Boy. Other notable rap albums from 2017 include Joey Bada$$’s All Amerikkkan Bada$$, J.I.D’s The Never Story, Rapsody’s Laila’s Wisdom, Big K.R.I.T’s 4 Eva Is A Mighty Long Time, and more. This was an interesting year at the Grammys because it was one of the first times in history that the academy chose great nominees for the best rap album of 2017 award. The nominees were Tyler The Creator’s Flower Boy, Rapsody’s Laila’s Wisdom, Migos’ Culture, Jay-Z’s 4:44, and Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. The award went to Kendrick Lamar’s DAMN. and it’s a fair choice considering the album’s concept and poetry. This video takes you through the albums that were previously mentioned and then focuses on the two best rap albums of 2017. What do you think was the best rap album to come out in 2017?
