I didn’t wanna write just another top 10 list that you could find on any other music publication, so I asked some people I kind of know and that are generally interested in music for their top 10s as well. It’s like Pitchfork’s staff list, except we don’t get paid and we still have to steal music (actually, that might be the same. I’m pretty sure pitchfork writers still steal music)

young thug – jeffrey
young thug’s apology to the people at the airport he insulted
Lil B’s tweets about nature
G.L.O.S.S – Trans Day of Revenge
uhhhhh what else happened
hmm
um
Cuntroaches if they released anything, I dunno but they played a really good set in the Czech Republic and if they released anything I’d probably really like it
the Denzel Curry album had a slut shaming lyric that made me uncomfortable but it was a really solid album, lots of bangers
fucking hell this is HARD
every single house/techno track I danced to in 2016
Firewalker had a really cool demo
YURI had a great demo and I haven’t actually listened to it but I’m friends with the vocalist so yknow it’s probably tight
and
uh
Show Me The Body, because I saw them two or three times but still haven’t listened to the album but I bet it’s tight
