Future Islands - Seasons (Waiting on You) Unfortunately for him, Jay Rock's verse is nothing less than a triumph, continuing his impeccable track record of upstaging TDE artists on their own songs.ģ. Schoolboy Q proves up to the challenge, delivering a uncompromising gangster rap barrage. It's a nasty, snarling beat, fit for the gutter. Thankfully, 'Los Awesome' sounds like nothing else he made this year, or indeed anything since his Neptunes years. From his own 'Happy' to Ed Sheeran's 'Sing', the guy's been pretty ubiquitous recently. Jay Rock)įollowing up the one-two strike of 'Get Lucky' and 'Blurred Lines', 2014 saw Pharrell continuing his chart dominance. Mumdance's prolific output shows no signs of letting up this year, and Nov is perfectly placed to capitalise on his position as the hottest new MC. His flow is supremely confident, but casually so - a difficult task over such an unusual riddim. There's a lot of dead space in this beat and Novelist navigates it like a boxer, choosing his moment before delivering a killer punch. Wisely deciding to collaborate with Novelist after an NTS session, Mumdance used the TR-909 to construct this deceptively simple instrumental from scratch, razing the grime template to the ground and building it up again from the ashes. Between this and Rick Ross' 'Sanctified', I'm seriously hoping the pair have more in the vaults. The beat, a DJ Mustard and Kanye West collaboration, sounds exactly how you'd imagine - a wonderful collision of Mustard's ratchet style and Kanye circa College Dropout. Methinks he doth protest too much, but still, there are some great lines here ( "Fuck your two cents if it ain't going towards the bill"), and a brilliant E-40 verse and a soulful beat switch seal the deal. In 'IDFWU', Sean lets an ex know in some detail how he's doing just fine actually, he's got new girls and new cars and a new crib and he's doing JUST FINE.
Big Sean's cornball tendencies are still firmly in place, but he really stepped up his game on this one, perhaps remembering how he got so firmly upstaged by Kendrick Lamar on 'Control'. One of the year's best rap songs came from an unlikely source. GFOTY (short for 'Girlfriend of the Year') has these wonderfully detached vocals, inviting us to look behind the words to find meaning, when actually it's all there for us on the surface.Ħ. The squeaky noises sound like a dial-up connection breaking into giggles, while the whole thing is underpinned by these ominous bass pulses. If we're being traditionalists, 'Bobby' is one of the most fully realised songs to come out of this camp, but it's still a singularly odd listen.
Cook's gang of post-Internet pranksters that we had to give them some props at the end of their breakout year.

Ok, ok - not strictly released in 2014 (see also: most of the PC Music tracks on this list), but we slept so hard on A.
