About this listen

Elsie, Parks, Ivie Ani, DJ Hed, and Rob Markman kept the conversation going with our picks for the absolute best albums of 2025. It was a huge year for full bodies of work, from The Clipse's incredible return to Bad Bunny dominating globally. We also had to keep it real about the letdowns, including Ghostface’s sequel and the J. Cole album that never came. DJ Hed went off about why artists need to be honest about their creative teams instead of pretending they do it all alone. We also debated if "microwave music" is finally dying out in favor of real storytelling. It got a little heated when we talked about Young Thug, but that’s what happens when you care about the state of music. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
