25 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums Of The Last Decade

7. Travis Scott - Astroworld

If you've been following Travis Scott for a while, you'll know that the rapper/producer is one of the most talented individuals in hip-hop today. Previous albums have shown that he's incredibly creative, but they weren't quite as cohesive or as focused as fans hoped.

However, it seems like he was truly on point with absolutely everything on his third album, Astroworld. The potential was always there, but now this album feels like that has been realised, which is why it's such a brilliant listen.

The songs mesh together almost chaotically on the record, with songs ending abruptly and going straight into a completely different beat. While it might seem like it could distract you from whatever he's doing, it in fact, enhances the cohesiveness of the project. It might go all over the place, but there's an enjoyable method to his madness that makes this album a unique experience for any listener.

While it's difficult to figure out if Scott is better as a producer, rapper or singer, this album shows that it shouldn't really matter. Travis Scott is all three things and excels in each area more than many of his peers. Astroworld is a snippet of how he's growing into one of the finest artists of his generation.
