Best Rap/Hip-Hop Albums of the last 10 Years

Maybe an unpopular take but all the newer hip hop sounds exactly the fricking same with all the rappers just mumbling in kinda the same tone. It also seems much slower than in the past where there would be way more upbeat stuff released. Maybe I’m just old but just seems like it’s bland now compared to the past.
