I thought Yonkers was definitely his best track on Goblin. The rest i didnt like much.

I am in the exact same boat, I will listen to old eminem if I want shock rap, but even old eminem SSLP has some substance and clearly is satire most of the time.
yeah that's on my pickup list!!Since everyone's doing their end of the year release-catch ups, I have to pimp this again. So damn good.
I got the new iphone and it lets u make lists with it!!!
Im gonna pick it up next week when yU and Chico & The Man come out!!
waiting til next week to listen to Roots too, rite now Im really diggin Doomtree!!!

it's a pretty good record. Better than Statik Selektah & Action Bronson, the other album Im listening to now.
Final Top Ten....I'll figure out the order later...
WTT isn't on there cuz I presume you have it in a class of its own right? just making sure.
edit: Just saw it haha, my browser window cut it off for some reason. props on putting camp in your top 10 too
Lol. That shit isnt coming out until Andre 3k solo joint drops.

it's definitely that, but again, i'm in the mood for that during said activities. i dont really make the distinction for "substance" or satire that ya'll are doing for early em, shit's the same for me. gravediggaz, however...
but yeah, BURN SHIT FUCK SCHOOL etc is a bit much sometimes, i just go to the next track. it works a lot better in a mix with other shit than just listening to them all in one sitting, ive a few albums like that.
oh yeah, i thought bastard was almost unquestionably better.
heh, agreed.
persoanlly, i think dude's production is kinda cool if its really just him. there's way worse posted around here, i think.
yup, this was obvious, he even said as much a number of times. also missed having Earl on some tracks, Bastard really benefited from that i thought.
Goblin was terrible to me. Tyler is not a good rapper to me. And if you guys are going to pimp releases that people may have overlooked... post a youtube link. We are all lazy.
eligh- stop running

I don't know if any of you have heard of this guy, but he's Legit (ok, pun intended)
And this song and video is pretty incredible
Legit ft. Arielle - A Ni**er in Northface

Don't know if there are any Count Bass D heads in here, but his newest album #FULLCOUNT came out a few months ago.

It's pretty heavy handed, but I dig it.
I pruned a lot since last night.
Wildlife EP over Bad Time Zoo? interesting.. didn't think i'd see that making anybody's top tens. nice. (wildlife and btz) will be in mine.
.That and Too Loud I've had on repeat for a week straight.

I haven't given Bad Time Zoo a proper listen, but Wildlife has been on constant rotation since I got it. Not a bad track on that thing.
yup, add Doin' Damage for me, that song might as well be the theme song of my life.
yeah, it's fantastic. give btz a shot when you've got time, think you'll dig it as well.
edit: in fact, i insist you give BTZ a couple thorough listens. it and wildlife are kinda like companion pieces. i listened to bad time zoo more than any record this year by quite a large margine.
i hear that.. that track hit me for realz.
Do a top 10, but 66 honorary mentions.

I like Tyler, especially his voice. Given some time I'm hoping he improves and maybe grows up a little.

that track's a weak point for the album, again, but...weird line to focus everything on. it's not even the first time i wanna say ive heard tyler/OF say shit like that either.
Wow, might be the first time I have ever agreed with pitchfork
It just comes off as cheesy as hell to me. It makes it hard to take his music seriously.

Listening to the Slaughterhouse album again. It's funny how 2 years ago I thought they're gonna "save" hip-hop. It's still great but it sadly didn't make a great splash. Oh well...
Yeah, I still think 1.0 is too low when they give trash like Lil B 6's and 7's.
Lil B's last release got a higher score than Undun I'm pretty sure.
never place your hopes on rappity rap artists that don't know how to make songs.
Sense, this makes none.

What's wrong with Slaughterhouse songs?
They dont have swag, or something.
Some cool shit,
My cousin, who I talk a lot about on here and try to get you guys to listen to,is quickly catching on and just recently received some some love from Kevin Durant from the Ok city thunder. KD is also going to send him some beats to see if my Cousin will use them for his upcoming album.

Undun is not even a hip-hop record to me. That shit is straight up Neo-Soul. I want the Roots to do a straight soul album.
Werent you just giving me shit for saying Drake wasnt Hip-hop? lol
BlackWaltz
lotta black folks here
Have really only started keeping up with the GAF-Hop thread recently, what was GAF's opinion of Vast Aire's OX 2010: A Street Odyssey?
Goddamn son.
Undun is definitely top 10, as is No Kings. Those are the most recent additions to the list.
Need to listen to Sims Wildlife/BTZ, Wax, Daily Bread. Waiting on Q and Common obviously. Also need to re-listen to a few albums.
Yeah...Spiritual State has somehow become even more awesome since listening to it when I first got it onto my iPod. I can listen to it from track 1 to 14 without needing to skip any. The fact that there are only 4 songs with rapping on it really helps that, and I love all of those songs so really, it's just great.
