Very Velocious Verdicts, Vol. 1 - Future, Oddisee & Mozzy

Albums I'll be covering in the first installment of this new series!

Okay, so as most of you probably already know. I write a lot. Covering each track on each album at first, on paper, seems like a great idea. But the problem with hip hop (and music in general nowadays) is the over saturation of tracks on albums. It seems like the art of short, and concise albums is lost in 2017. Every rapper, it seems, just loads their track lists with upwards of 16+ tracks, with runtimes of up to one hour and 30 minutes.  1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES FAM. THAT'S 3 EPISODES OF "SEINFELD" WITH THE COMMERCIALS INTACT, THAT'S INSANE AND UNNECESSARY. There are literally movies out there that can be watched and re-watched in that time period. The point is, I don't like overly long musical albums. Doesn't matter who it is. Let Michael Jackson & 2Pac come back and release a joint album together. If that project is 25 tracks or more, they can BOTH go back to the graves they dug themselves up from (RIP though, I love both artists, no disrespect)...

Honorable Mentions of 2016 (In No Particular Order)



2016 is DONE. Thank goodness cause I took a lot of L's last year. But THIS year will be different. I hope so anyway...

Anyway here are some projects that didn't make my "Top 16 of 2016" but I still think deserve to be recognized cause all these artists showed some form of greatness in one way or another, whether they'd be old or new artists all these guys showed much potential or just pure awe inspiring moments like I said.

Anyway, let's get to the first honorable mention...
