# 100 - # 40

I& #39;ll have more than simply a rating for # 39 - # 1
Thank You for nearly 3500

40. Phonte - No News Is Good News
The 2000& #39;s torch bearer of "Everyman rap" returned w/ his sophomore solo: 10 concise tracks of traditional rhymes over a sonically unique sound bed
Te is in the DNA of Cole & Drake, so peep game if you don& #39;t know Paster Tigallo

Phonte - No News Is Good News scored an 8.5 from me
Opening with competitive braggadocio, as per rap tradition, the album quickly eases into introspection & solemn advice from a middle aged father to anyone who needs it, tackling rare subjectshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏾" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">

But also keeping the cleverness one can expect from a Jedi master MC, so if you& #39;re too young for the topics to pertain to you, you& #39;re still thoroughly entertained
Stand outs:
- Expensive Genes
- Change Of Mind ft Freddie Gibbs
- Sweet You

39. 38 Spesh & Benny The Butcher - Stabbed & Shot - 8.5
38 is a god father of Upstate NY Hip Hop, an unsung veteran & one of the most under appreciated beatmakers of last decade.
38 & Benny go way back & it shows in their chemistry, because they do not miss

If you& #39;re any kind of Griselda fan, but defo if you like Tana Talk 3 or The Plugs I Met:
38& #39;s punchline mastery only adds to Benny& #39;s energy as they stomp over, triumphant, & soulful production
Stand outs:
- So Strategic
- Driver Seat
- Man Of The Kitchen

38. Benny The Butcher - A Friend Of Ours - 8.5
Whether it& #39;s a "mixtape" or album, Benny always makes sure to give each project a distinctive purpose: you& #39;ll never get the same motif twice, unless it& #39;s specifically a sequel album.

This mafia family-themed project is his way of show casing El Camino, yet Benny still shines with what I consider his most underrated skill: Song writing
Recommended song:
- The Long Way
- 03& #39; Draft

37. Eminem - Kamikaze - 8.5
The much discussed 10th solo offering from legend Marshall Mathers is a hardcore lyrical barrage in the vein of past legends who& #39;d been counted out & had to remind the game of what they& #39;re capable of
Kamikaze sets the tone immediately w/ The Ringer:

Kamikaze sets the tone immediately w/ The Ringer:
comfortably the most competitive Intro of the year, & w/ it& #39;s energy through almost the entire album
Themes include respect for legends/traditions, w/ the occasional emotional ballad to break up the onslaught
Recommend song:
⁃Fall
⁃Not Alike
- Stepping Stones

Lil Wayne - Dedication 6: Reloaded - 8.5
Weezy& #39;s Dedication series is legendary for a reason. If you missed out on the old ones, 6 is the perfect jumping in point imo, as Wayne brings back his old formula of taking other artists hottest beats, then murdering them in wayshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏾" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (durchschnittlich dunkler Hautton)">

not thought of before
The key to its success tho, as w/ his older classic tapes, is that Wayne doesn& #39;t just throw a bunch of hot beats together: His mixtape(s) are curated carefully for a cohesive & balanced experience
Recommended:
⁃Big Bad Wolf
⁃Family Feud ft Drake
