For this challenge to pick the best hip hop album from every year in the 2010s, but the catch is, NO ARTIST CAN FEATURE MORE THAN ONCE

2010: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Kanye West
What is the greatest album of the 2010s in my opinion, Kanye showcases his production abilities to the fullest and brings his all in his lyrics while carrying classic feature verses.

2011: Blue Slide Park - Mac Miller
Mac uses a lot of flows and easy-to-remember verses and choruses on this upbeat party banger factory of an album.
Rest In Peace to Mac

2012: The Money Store - Death Grips
Not much of an artist but more of a band, Death Grips really brings out their futuristic sound on The Money Store while even keeping its dystopian topics in its abrasive-sounding lyrics.

2013: Because The Internet - Childish Gambino
An album for a film, Gambino still comes with some classic hits along with some pleasant sounds and neat features. The production is almost at its peak for Gambino here as well.

2014: Logic - Under Pressure
Logic shows off his rapping abilities at his best on this project along with how well he can storytell and use wordplay to rhyme perfectly about his somewhat dangerous life.

2015: To Pimp A Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick really brings out his all on here from amazing and powerful lyrics to the very well-rounded production on here to the crazy topics on black lives and its difficulties that still remain relevant today.

2016: Passion, Pain, & Demon Slayin - Kid Cudi
After his transition into rock with his 2015 record, Speedin' Bullet 2 Heaven, Cudi came back to hip hop with the same wonderful melodies and hums he had as the rest of his records while having some great features as well.

2017: 4:44 - JAY-Z
Following his infidelity accusations and other hard times, JAY-Z kills off his JAY-Z ego and maintains his family with Beyonce and Ivy while still rapping along on the rap game and other mainstream issues such as black lives on some tracks.

2018: DAYTONA - Pusha T
While the album is very short and only has seven tracks, Push really pushes in a lot of hard lyricism and topics such as his friend passing and his feud with Drake. Combine that with executive production from Kanye West and you have an amazing album.

2019: IGOR - Tyler, the Creator
Tyler shows not only his evolution as a hip-hop artist, but his transition from hip-hop to pop on this project and it is a synth-filled phenomenon that shows no errors whatsoever. With a load of nice features, IGOR is Tyler at his absolute prime.
