You're not the only female hiphop head don't worry.

Is this ever going to kick off?

**Frownland** · 02-29-2016, 08:06 PM

What's the point? Madvillainy is just going to win anyway.

Aloysius · 02-29-2016, 10:09 PM

Most of the ones I like have been listed already, I would just add:

1. Cypress Hill - Cypress Hill (still their best by far imo)

2. L'Orange and Jeremiah Jae - The Night Took Us in Like Family (thanks to Exo, I heard about this album from his 2015 list)

^Have you heard Time? Astonishing!? The lyricism isn't as good, but I think it's superior on all other fronts.
