This is the time of the top 20 hip hop albums of 2020; this time period, the annual end-of-year list roll-out, is a time of year I both look forward to and dread. As a rather thorough music fan, I find it fascinating to see what sorts of albums are frequently appearing on other individuals’ and publications’ lists. There are always snubs, controversies, and many fun things to discuss during the December downtime. But, there’s also frustration. I always found it annoying that most publications roll their lists out at the end of November and beginning of December. I don’t think that’s enough time to let all the music released within this calendar year actually breathe, and omits some very strong contenders that inevitably come out every December.

Thank you, we'll see you in 2021.
