Top 10 Rap Albums of the 2010s 

1:58 confessions of a dangerous mind - logic 5:14 the big day - chance the rapper 7:31 harverd dropout - lil pump 12:30 total xanarchy - lil xan 16:00 deathreats - tom macdonald 19:38 revival - eminem 22:50 baby G.O.A.T - kevo money 28:43 binge - machine gun kelly 31:28 kamikaze - eminem 37:36 certified lover boy - drake

a collab with NFR means a day closer to a Hivemind appearance

Didn’t expect Total Xanarchy at number 1, but I am pleasantly surprised to see it here. Nice to see a great indie pick from Tony.

i love seeing three black men celebrate the greatness of the artistry coming out of their community

Luca is right! Having the entire Beatles discography as the number 1 pick is actually a great choice!

Let’s agree: Anthony needs to start a podcast with guests like NFR

anthony’s: 01:58 billy woods - history will absolve me 05:14 freddie gibs, madlib - piñata 07:31 clipping. - clppng 12:20 big krit- 4eva is a mighty long time 16:00 jpegmafia - veteran 19:28 death grips - exmilitary 22:50 danny brown - atrocity exhibition 28:43 kendrick lamar - good kid, maad city 31:28 death grips - the money store 37:36 kendrick lamar - to pimp a butterfly

01:58 Supermarket - Logic 05:14 Tattletales - 6ix9ine 07:31 the big day. - Chance the rapper 12:20 Visionland - YBN Nahmir 16:00 Find the beat- Blue face 19:28 Good intentions - NAV 22:50 total xanarchy- lil xan 28:43 Soulja world - Soulja boy 31:28 Certified lover boy - Drake 37:36 Revival - Eminem

Man,Fantano with the #3,#2 and #1 spots being Nothing Was The Same,2014 Forest Hills Drive and MBDTF is something I didn’t expect! Realer words haven’t been spoken⁉️

It’s refreshing seeing a celebration of hip-hop vs a “this one is better than the other”

I like NFR, but this video is a reminder why I’ve been following fantano for a decade now. He simply exposes me to better, more exciting, and less obvious music than anyone else with a sizable following online

We need Anthony as a guest on hivemind

I'm shocked NFR didn't know clipping. The debut really is what Fantano hypes up and their quarantine sister albums are equally worth listening to. Not my favorite hip-hop group but they're a must-experience for hip-hop fans occupying such an interesting niche, they continuously stand out in my rotation.

“We Got It From Here” Tribe Called Quest is SOLID 2010s top tier album

I love it when Melon does a serious analytical critique of rap and hip hop in a Sunn shirt. INSIDE OF YOU THERE ARE TWO WOLVES.

1:58 Bladee & Ecco2k - Crest 5:14 Bladee - Good Luck 7:31 Bladee - Exeter 12:30 Bladee - The Fool 16:00 Bladee - Spiderr 19:38 Bladee - Working on Dying 22:50 Bladee - Gluee 28:43 Bladee - Icedancer 31:28 Bladee - Red Light 37:36 Bladee - Eversince

Shoota - 3:24 R.I.P- 6:26 Stop Breathing - 10:20 No Sl33p 14:40 Long Time - 17:14 Sky - 20:31 JumpOut TheHouse - 25:24 Flatbed Freestyle - 26:36 New N3on - 30:25 Flex Up - 37:59 Rockstar Made - 39:57 R.I.P Fredo - 44:25 On That Time - 47:33 Off The Grid - 50:10 Location - 51:15 Die4Guy - 55:02 F331 Lik3 Dyin -

Surprised to hear the NFR guys not hear clipping. To me Daveed gives Andre 3000 vibes in his flow and storytelling capabilities. Not diminishing his own identity because it's certainly unique and good.

It breaks my heart that Fantano doesn't have Kids See Ghosts in his top 10 anymore.

Im surprised to not see kids see ghosts in melon’s top 10 considering it was one of the only 3 hip hop 10/10 albums for him in the 2010s

"I don't care about your opinion" Really insightful discussion here right off the bat

Wow can’t believe fantano put MBDTF at 1 that’s insane

I like when Anthony collaborates with his fellow Music Nerds. I love hearing a conversation between people who share the same passion, it gives me more to learn.

Bruh I'll never forget the time I was on the subway listening to that debut Clipping album, I was on the commute and the song "Dream" played and put me to sleep. Then the next song "Get Up" starts with the alarm clock sample and it woke me up. My mind was blown

Shout out to Fantono for giving Big K.R.I.T the love he deserves. He is one of the most slept on rapper of our generation and being someone who lives in the south. He always gets play.

Definitely my favorite collab with NFR youve done yet! This format works so well, hope to see more in the future

This is awesome, I loved hearing the different takes between all of you. Great stuff, MORE PLEASE.

RTJ2 deserves to be on here. Damn the 2010s is so good. There is so many honourable mentions

Wow didnt expect The Big Day at all of their number 1s, definitely one of the best dubstep mixtapes of the 2030s

Would be great to see this for the 2000s and 1990s.

My top 10: 1. Kendrick Lamar - TPAB 2. Kanye - MBDTF 3. Kendrick - GKMC 4. Tyler the Creator - Flower Boy 5. ATCQ - Thank You 4 Your Service 6. Danny Brown - XXX 7. Big Boi - Sir Luscious Left Foot 8. The Roots - Undun 9. Run the Jewels - RTJ 2 10. Isiah Rashad - Cilvia Demo

1:58 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West 5:14 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Ye 7:31 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Yeezus 12:30 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Yeezy 16:00 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy- Mr West 19:38 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy- Tom Macdonald 22:50 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Pablo Escobar 28:43 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Pablo Picasso 31:28 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kids See Ghosts 37:36 My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Unknown Artist From Austria

Not gonna lie, my favorite album from the 2010s is Some Rap Songs by Earl Sweatshirt, it hits so hard for me and has so much replay value despite how experimental it is, 11/10 album

The descriptions of GKMC were absolutely on point 💯

Always nice to see this collab, you should do it more often

Was pleasantly unsurprised to see 'The Big Day' at No. 1! Glad melonhead appreciates variation and beauty in music at it's finest! Brilliant ranking!

Honestly surprised that Melon didn’t include Kids See Ghosts in his top ten or honorable mentions, considering he gave KSG a 10.

wow, i really didn‘t expect fantano to put mbdtf in his top 3… crazy how things change

Some honorable mentions I didn't hear them mention. Acid Rap, Live Love Asap, Laila's Wisdom, Eve, Room 25, Telefone, Life of Pablo, Forest Hill Drive, Blankface, Greatest Story Never Told, Dirty Sprite 2, Jeffrey, RTJ 2-4, Kids See Ghost, Bandana, Return of 4eva, XXX, Cilvia Demo, Big Fish Theory.

Been watching since like 4k subscribers so happy for you guys man this is amazing

Love that you guys mentioned undone by the roots. Such a Great album 10/10

This was my top 10: 1. TPAB by Kdot 2. GKMC by Kdot 3. TA13OO by Denzel 4. Pinata by Freddie/Madlib 5. MBDTF by Kanye 6. Daytona by Pusha T 7. Atrocity Exhibition by Danny Brown 8. 1999 by Joey 9. Veteran by JPEG 10. 4eva is a Mighty Long Time by Big Krit

i imagine this is how most of Fantano's conversations go with late twenty white guys

I gotta say thank you for that Danny brown shout I don't know how I missed this gem one of the best albums Ive ever heard

How the hell did Kids See Ghosts not make anyone's list? Anthony even gave it a 10, expected it to be on his list.

As a relative hip-hop outsider, I appreciate this course in contemporary rhymes

Happy that Rodeo made it to the Top 10 from one of the guys and had honorable mention from the other two, Rodeo is at least a Top 20 album of the 2010's decade.

Uhhhh Anthony? Ed Sheeran is not a rapper

You can tell from Anthony's list that he is someone that really appreciates when artists are experimental and original. CLPPNG was probably my entry to listening to more experimental hip-hop. Death Grips and JPEGMAFIA are artists I learned about through Anthony's reviews and I have come to super appreciate those artists. It's really nice to hear something different when a lot of rap is very homogenous. I also appreciate the love shown to Tribe Called Quest and Joey Badass by the NFR guys. Those were fantastic projects too. I would give B4.da.$$ an honourable mention even though 1999 is probably better. TPAB is a classic as is GKMC. Kendrick is the undisputed king of the 2010s.

“It’s a slapper in context of the track list” 💀

you all should be doing a top 10 books of 2010s with this library you got behind you

Marcberg, Pinata, TPAB, Pray for Paris, Cosmogramma, Daytona, Run the Jewels 2, Watch the Throne, Doris, and Life of Pablo.

my favorites 1. lil ugly mane - mista thug isolation 2. kendrick lamar - to pimp a butterfly 3. kendrick lamar - good kid maad city 4. tribe - thank you 4 your service 5. danny brown - atrocity exhibition 6. kanye - mbdtf 7. death grips - the money store 8. lupe - tetsuo & youth 9. mick jenkins - the waters 10. clipping - there existed an addiction to blood.

I liked some of your picks to be sure - but I feel maybe just change the perspective a bit by having someone much younger or older comment on their thoughts. The 2010's in hip hop was a slow but rewarding adventure for me (age 54) as an old school hip hop fan who viewed 1981-1995 as a golden age. It's not a criticism of your content - I like it, but its something even I want to change a bit on my channel. But for fun I have; Kanye - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Run the Jewels - 2 Kendrick has 2 with - To Pimp a Butterfly and good kid m.a.a.d. City Pusha T - Daytona (although his new one 'It's Almost Dry' is better) A Tribe Called Quest - You Got It From Here... Death Grips - The Money Store Jay Z and Kanye - Watch the Throne Future - DS2 Danny Brown - XXX I may be just locked in on some obvious picks but artist like Drake just don't appeal to me at all. He is hip hop for 14 year old High School Girls.

I got so happy seeing the background, knowing you were with NFR gang.

Amazing lists from all 3! GKMC & TPAB got the love they rightfully they deserved. Kendrick’s era!

my top 10 1. To Pimp a Butterfly 2. Flowerboy 3. LP! 4. Kids See Ghosts 5. The Money Store 6. IGOR 7. Good Kid m.A.A.d City 8. Pinata 9. Yeezus 10. Orpheus vs. the Sirens

My picks: 10) Daytona -Pusha T 9) Reloaded -Roc Marciano 8) RTJ 2 -Run The Jewels 7) Honor killed the samurai -Ka 6) Supreme Blientele -Westside Gunn 5) Undun -The Roots 4) we got it from here... thank you 4 your service -ATCQ 3) TPAB -Kendrick 2) Atrocity Exibicion -Danny Brown 1) good kid, m.A.A.d City -Kendrick

wow, really glad to see Cal Chuchesta back in action. and he even brought his brother!

Fun video! I like the podcast format for you anthony. It seems GKMC really grew on you over the years

No college dropout or carter 3 is wild

Bro, PLEASE let there be similar videos for the 2000s and 1990s

Loved seeing melon pick a big krit album. He remains one of the most underrated rapper in recent memory

How should we decorate the set for the interview today, Lu? I dunno, maybe books to the left, books to the right, books in the background? Fire.

Didn’t expect to see Yeezus at #1 but I’m glad you changed your mind!

No Yeezus or Pablo on any list or honorable mention is wild

for anyone who wants to see their lists: ant: honorable mentions atrocity exhibition - danny brown we got it from here… thank you for your service - a tribe called quest rodeo - travis scott 4 your eyes only - j cole flower boy - tyler, the creator real list 10. nothing was the same - drake 9. 4:44 - jay z 8. swimming - mac miller 7.

Defenetly nice trio,i love when people talk about hip hop realisticaly ,you know like no scripts and all that shit ,just pure honesty

clipping being here is such a monumental W

Really shocked kids see ghosts wasn't even in the honorable mentions

Guess where TPAB falls on the list

Hoping for another DEHH collab soon too. Love these guys/your collabs in general

respect for mentioning the roots and tribe called quest. those two records do not get the recognition it truly deserves, especially Undun!

No injury reserve is crazy to me. Really thought Anthony would have put that on there

I seriously think these 3 should just have a podcast together. I prefer this to all of their content honestly.

1. Death Grips - Exmilitary 2. Kendrick Lamar- Good Kid Maad City 3. JPEG Mafia- Veteran 4. Sematary- Rainbow Bridge 3 5. Danny Brown - Atrocity Exhibition 6. Clipping.- Visions of Body’s being burned 7. Hermit & the recluse - Orpheus v Sirens 8. Billy Woods - Aethiopes 9. Earl sweatshirt- some rap songs 10. Playboi Carti- dielit

Good list, honourable mentions, Black Up by Shabazz palaces, Brick Body Kids still daydreaming by open Mike Eagle and Some Rap songs by Earl Sweatshirt

i was surprised by the clippng placement, i love that album so much but i wasnt expecting fantano to put it above pinata

i love that these guys are giving so much love to undun. my top 2, right next to TPAB

I speak for everyone when I say we need more content like this

luc and ant NFR have some kind of similar lists, further proving how they have that chemistry which ultimately birthed a podcast together

Listened to this while cleaning and I never heard of these guys before but I KNOW a Montreal Italian accent when I hear one!

This video was actually really interesting, very revealing and deeply insightful... not in regards to whatever they're talking about, but in regards to the fact that it showed us - categorically - that Fantano doesn't actually know how to tie shoe laces properly (or at all). This was a really fact to learn. Thank you.

I was so happy to hear melon mention that big krit album. Bangers all around

These NFR collaborations are always entertaining to watch

KSG officially a 9 now

pls do another of these for the 2020s so far

damn fantano you fitted af for this video had to stunt on the nfr gang

Kids See Ghosts, At Long Last A$ap, Passion Pain Demon Slayin, Malibu, and Forest Hills Drive all deserved an honorable mention at least.

it would be so surprising if the latter half of Fantano's list actually goes CRAZY.

I would love this same kind of discussion over the 2000s or 90s

these guys know their stuff I didn't realise

Ive followed melon for several years now, having a long lasting love-hate relationship with him. I'm familiar with NFR through clips of their podcast. This combination is just marvelous. A more centered Anthony plus NFR talking more underground and least mainstream shit.

I'd like to here a review of Immutable by Meshuggah, I think there are some different ideas compared to their most other most recent releases, I'm interested to here your thoughts compared to the other albums you've reviewed

Nice to see clipping in the list!

Nightmare blunt rotation
