10- Kamasi Washington - The Rhythm Changes
It's sooo good
9- Bjork - Lionsong
I knew this from very beginning but if you watch the video of this song you will understand the difference between Bjork and us(humans)...
8-Vince Staples - Lift Me Up
Vince has brutal lyrics...
I feel like Mick and Richards, they feel like Muddy Waters
So tell me what's the difference, so tell me what's the difference?"
or
"I never vote for presidents, the presidents that change the hood
Is dead and green"
And this is more than confession
I mean I might press the button just so you know my discretion
I'm guardin' my feelings, I know that you feel it
You sabotage my community, makin' a killin'
You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga"
Is dead and green"
7-Thundercat - Them Changes
6-Panda Bear - Mr. Noah
5-D’Angelo And The Vanguard- Ain’t That Easy
His first album after 14 years. I read that he plays all the instruments except the drums...
4- Kendrick Lamar - I
Amazing lyrics. I played this song to a 4 yold and 7 year old in the car, even they get crazy, for couple of hours they were screaming " I love myself" at random times... I love the album version but this one is pretty good too!
3- Jamie XX - Loud Places (feat. Romy)
The first full album by Jamie XX has some amazing songs. Years later when we talk about 2015, we will remember this album and its moments...
2- Kamasi Washington - Askim
Even if he didn't make this album, we will probably know as "the crazy saxophonist at Kendrick Lamar's album or Thundercat's ". What a start to a career! I mean I'm sure he worked very hard but what a official start to music career ?
1 - Kendrick Lamar - Blacker The Berry
If I live in the States, I would play this song in my car very loud whenever I see ...
"So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street when gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?
Hypocrite!"
"So why did I weep when Trayvon Martin was in the street when gang banging make me kill a nigga blacker than me?
Hypocrite!"
I mean I might press the button just so you know my discretion
I'm guardin' my feelings, I know that you feel it
You sabotage my community, makin' a killin'
You made me a killer, emancipation of a real nigga"
