2018 Rimmy Awards: top 5 albums

[Jorge]

I don't know guys. Most of the lists here are pretty samey. Stop circle jerking in your collective corners of the music world long enough to wonder why that is.

Have you ever googled your email address?

1. Kanye West - ye
2. KIDS SEE GHOSTS - KIDS SEE GHOSTS
3. Bhad Bhabie - 15
4. Pusha T - DAYTONA
5. Nas - NASIR

Is this a joke post?

It’s all too real

[Jorge]

What will be the Dark Side of the Moon or Nevermind or Appetite For Destruction of the 2010s?

DAMN.

Hmmmmmmm

[Jorge]

Granted, I wasn't around for the release of those three seminal albums, but Damn doesn't feel seismic enough in comparison, great and successful and lauded as it is

[LoathedVermin72]

It’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

[LoathedVermin72]

Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it not true

[tragabigzanda]

Top 10 maybe?
Hello Morning
Close Captioned
The Kill
Place/Position
Do You Like Me?
Latest Disgrace
Recap Modotti
Nightshop
Break
Life & Limb

I'd maybe bump Life & Limb for Epic Problem

[LoathedVermin72]

Objectively incorrect

[Jorge]

That feels closer. That album was massive, hugely influential, and probably received even more accolades than Damn. But maybe we're too close to Damn's release to know it's true impact

[LoathedVermin72]

It’s already a universally beloved pop culture touchstone that was ubiquitous when it came out, is still referenced constantly, and marked a sonic leap for the artist that other artists have desperately tried to catch up with

I want to acknowledge that my phone put an errant apostrophe at the end there, but I do not want to edit my post.

All of this could be true. And anecdotal evidence is meaningless. But... Kanye himself had been absolutely ubiquitous in my experience but I had never even heard of that record until a year or so ago. On RM. And I don't ever hear songs from it nor anyone outside of RM talking about it. My entire knowledge/ experience of that album is from this place. Even the other Kanye fans I know IRL don't talk about it. I feel like Yeezus is way more prominent and seminal, if we're going to nominate a Kanye record, and we should given what he's meant to pop culture over the last decade.

DAMN. is much more recent, so proximity bias and all that, but that record is literally everywhere I go and has been since it dropped. Maybe it's a Brooklyn/New York thing? But I literally hear it playing in the grocery store, in restaurants, from passing cars, in the Lyft I took last weekend, kids on the subway. It's everywhere, all the time.

Good LORD you guys are old and white...that was painful
