Good question, I must have been insanely slow on the 2014 uptake as nothing immediately jumps out at me.
I quite liked YG's album 'My Krazy Life'
The production on it's really impressive and the hooks are infectious and YG actually possesses enough charisma and authenticity to pull off the gangsta style.
Unlike Freddie Gibbs, who released Pinata. Again, the production is the best part with Madlib laying down some sick beats. But I can't quite take the mumbling, 2Pac on rewind, style of Gibbs seriously. He tries too hard to try and push his badass persona and his music suffers at times. However, I do at times enjoy the style as it comes across quite effortless especially in his delivery.
Future's album was fairly decent. There were a few good tracks. But his style has never been one that's immersed me too much. He's making progress as an artist but he's still a bit sh*t.
Rick Ross' Mastermind is inconsistent, but the big man puts out another solid effort.
