The first platform to aggregate critical reviews for hip hop albums. From DJ Kool Herc's block parties to today's chart-toppers, organized by year.
Thousands of albums, one score. We pull reviews from 8+ publications — Pitchfork, HipHopDX, RapReviews, Metacritic, and more — and distill them into a single, trustworthy number.
From DJ Kool Herc to today's releases, browse the full breadth of hip hop history. See what dropped in 1988, compare it to 2024. Context changes everything.
Not just the classics — thousands of hip hop albums from underground tapes to platinum records. From the golden era to the streaming age, it's all here.
See where the critics agree and where they don't. Some albums get 10s from one outlet and 5s from another. That's the story.
Hip hop is the only genre where every decade sounds completely different from the last. The reviews tell that story. We're collecting all of them.
50+ years of culture. Thousands of albums. Every critical voice. One vault.
