The last few days of 2015 are winding down, so let’s take a look back at the Hip Hop albums that garnered the most praise from professional music critics.

Using Metacritic Scores (MS), AllHipHop.com curated a list of the Hip Hop projects that earned the highest ratings on the review website. Metacritic.com calculates its scores by giving weighted averages for critiques from leading print and online publications.

Albums with an MS between 61-80 are labeled as having “generally favorable” reviews, and albums with an MS between 81-100 are labeled as gaining “universal acclaim”. Countless Hip Hop projects were released this year, but not every album received enough reviews to earn a score from Metacritic (sorry Scarface).

While the Southern sound still controls most of rap radio, the West Coast dominates this list with 7 of the 10 highest scores. Here are the “Best Reviewed Hip Hop Albums Of 2015.”
