This album?

(with 120 upvotes 384 downvotes at time of posting).

I'm not sure about critical acclaim, but it seems many youtube watchers at least don't like it.

No, this album by Kendrick Lamar:

Billboard, Rolling Stone, and Pitchfork's No. 1 of 2015. Grammy nominated for Album of 2015, Grammy won for Rap Album of 2015.

It features jazz musicians such as Lalah Hathaway, Robert Glasper, Kamasi Washington, Thundercat, Ambrose Akinmusire, and Terrace Martin.

Robert Glasper deserves a mention in his own right: he's released albums spanning jazz, R&B, and hip hop and often crossing between genres.
