Albums List
The list of albums I listened to was mostly the same as written in my blog "End Of The Road", but when I started to listen to "Donda" by Kanye West, I realized I forgot to listen to his album "Ye" and to check if "Watch The Throne" by The Throne had a deluxe version, so I stopped listening to "Donda" so I could listen to the bonus tracks on the deluxe version of "Watch The Throne" first, then listen to "Ye" by Kanye West after.
Here is the list of albums I listened to in order:
CTRL & SOS (inc. "Lana" disc 1) by SZA, Thank Me Later, Take Care, Nothing Was The Same, Views, Scorpion, Care Package, Certified Lover Boy, & Honestly, Nevermind by Drake, Her Loss by Drake & 21 Savage, For All The Dogs by Drake, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U by Drake & PARTYNEXTDOOR, The College Dropout, Late Registration, Graduation, and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West, Watch The Throne by The Throne, Cruel Summer by GOOD Music, Yeezus & The Life Of Pablo by Kanye West, Kids See Ghosts by KIDS SEE GHOSTS, Ye & Donda by Kanye West, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill by Lauryn Hill, Donda 2 by Kanye West, Madvillainy by Madvillain, Section.80, good kid, m.A.A.d city, To Pimp A Butterfly, untitled unmastered, DAMN., Black Panther: The Album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, & GNX by Kendrick Lamar, Tha Carter, Tha Carter II, Tha Carter III, Tha Carter IV, Tha Carter V, & Tha Carter VI by Lil Wayne, Illmatic & Stillmatic by Nas, Liquid Swords by GZA, Aquemini & Stankonia by Outkast, The Forever Story by JID, and The Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, & The Eminem Show by Eminem.
Disclaimer
There are two disclaimers I'd like to add for this blog:
1. I listened to most of these albums when I was tired, as I had an 8 AM class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, during my first semester of college, so I woke up at 7 AM every day to keep a consistent circadian rhythm. I re-listened to Tha Carter IV by Lil Wayne, and Yeezus & My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West, because I felt like I was too tired when I first listened to those albums.
2. I frequently watch YouTube shorts related to rap that may have previously reviewed those albums, so I might be biased toward or against some of the albums I listened to based on other people's opinions
