My underrated album of 2019 is.....
Speaker 1: My underrated album at least is 'The Life of Pi’erre 4'.
Speaker 2: Oh, Pi’erre Bourne.
Speaker 1: By Pi’erre Bourne.
Production on that is just so flawless.
Speaker 3: So my underrated album of 2019 is Freddie Gibbs and Madlib: 'Bandana'.
Speaker 4: Oh okay.
Speaker 3: Have you heard it?
Speaker 4: I have.
Speaker 3: When Madlib and Freddie come together, their projects are always special.
Speaker 2: So what do you think about him just being like the producer versus the actual artist?
Speaker 3: People don't take him serious as an artist.
They just think of "Yo Pi'erre you want to come out here?" as a producer.
He's got some catchy lyrics.
Speaker: I just threw this temper tantrum.
Speaker: My new fit.
Speaker: Whoa.
Speaker 3: You were immediately transported back and like I'm in this other storyline
of like selling drugs.
I've never sold them, but maybe, I don't know.
It sounds enticing.
Speaker 6: This is not my favorite album of 2019 but I think the most underrated album
is 'Sli'merre' by Young Nudy and Pi'erre Bourne.
Young Nudy really did his thing.
Speaker 7: You're right.
Speaker 6: Pi'erre Bourne really did his thing.
Speaker 8: My underrated album of 2019 is 'Error Noventa y Tres' by Cazzu.
Cazzu is an Argentinian artist.
She does a mix of like reggaeton, trap music and emo. She's like an emo princess.
Speaker 6: That Megan Thee Stallion song "Shotta."
Speaker 7: She's a shotta.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's so, so good.
You know I'm driving the car that comes on and I'm like, okay.
Speaker 8: She's doing things in her own way and it's really refreshing.
Young Latinas are going to look up to her and like not feel like they have to be this
super hot singer to make it in Latin music.
Speaker 11: My underrated album for 2019 is 'GREY Area' by Little Simz.
What's underrated for you?
Snoh Aalegra, 'Ugh Those Feels Again.'
Little Simz is a UK rapper who's been buzzing for a few years but never really quite popped off.
Speaker 9: Snoh Aalegra is an awesome R&B singer from Sweden.
"Woah." That music video is super fire too.
She's still like pushing that.
'Nothing To Me'.
It was really good on that.
Speaker 10: 'Situationship', that's what started it for me.
Speaker 11: I didn't really hear Little Simz name in the conversation like that.
I think it's because she's probably a UK artist and they've had a hard time breaking into
the American market and she does rap with an accent.
So that's why I felt like she didn't get the attention that she deserved for what she's
bringing to the forefront.
Speaker 10: It makes you want to text your ex girlfriends and try to get that old thing back.
Speaker 9: When 'Find Somebody Like You' came out I wanted to be in a relationship just
for the duration of that song.
So I feel you.
Speaker 2: My underrated album of the year is going to be Baby Keem's 'DIE FOR MY BITCH'.
Speaker 1: Not even lying that was going to be my backup.
Speaker 7: My favorite underrated album of the year is 'Shea Butter Baby'.
The girl deserves some GRAMMY nominations and she got none, I feel like we talked about her for like two months
and then people stopped.
Speaker 2: He's 18 years old, he's working with TDE, he's not getting that many views
on the YouTube.
I think he needs more listeners.
Ari Lennox's album you can really see her personality, it's not just like run of the mill.
Speaker 6: Mm-hmm and she's fun.
Speaker 7: Yeah, she's fun.
Speaker 4: My underrated album of 2019 is 'Clarity' by Kim Petras.
A classic.
Speaker 3: Oh!
Speaker 4: Yes.
We've got a little pop going on here.
Speaker 12: My underrate album of 2019 is Jhay Cortez's 'Famouz'.
Jhay Cortez is from Carolina, Puerto Rico.
Speaker 4: She is originally from Germany.
'No Me Conoce' was probably the biggest one.
The remix with J Balvin and Bad Bunny on that album.
She then transitioned to being a pop star herself.
There's just so many bangers on that album it's so good.
Speaker 4: She brought kind of like a diversity of sound.
She has ballads, she has upbeat stuff, dance tracks, but it's
really a complete look at her as a person and as an emerging star.
Speaker 9: I think my most underrated album of 2019 is going to be Boogie: 'Everything's
for Sale.'
Speaker 13: My underrated album of the year is Mahalia's 'Love And Compromise'.
Speaker 9: Young rapper from LA signed to Shady Records, I believe.
Speaker 10: Yep.
Speaker 13: She really is singing these little pop songs that are super catchy and really
thoughtful.
Speaker 9: He definitely had the better verse with the him and Eminem track.
We're going to go "Swap Meet,"
we're gonna go "Time" with Snoh Aalegra, banger.
Speaker 2: Mahalia is underrated because we are not looking for pop music that
comes from someone that looks like Mahalia.
Also, she's British.
So sometimes to Insanul's point it is hard to break out.
Perhaps it's optics, but it's definitely not songs, beats, or performance because she's
amazing.
Speaker: Now I feel like every single song is like you add some 808s, maybe throw in
a hi-hat oh you have a trap song, oh you can dance to it.
Speaker: So much music coming out it’s like what is even underrated, can we even properly
rate every album that comes out?
Speaker: At that point I feel like it’s a struggle I don’t know, I don’t feel
like it was a strong year.
Speaker: I feel like this year is the year of the niche artist.
I don’t feel like there was a large number of huge songs that everybody could be like
I love that!
