macca's like a week past jr status, and already full-on reckless mode.
holding you to this too, maccas.
i have literally heard nothing from this dude beyond I PUT ON FOR MY CITY, ON ON FOR MY CITY
I cant even see how New Jeezy > Com. On the production side, No ID kills it, much better than TM103. On the lyrical side, gotta give it to Com there too. Maybe y'all like the features and Jeezy's flow better, but i still think having better lyrics and production makes your album better.

Hip Hop ended on a high note. Roots, Common, and Jeezy. Three albums that went into my top 10 for the year.

Jay Elec has done absolutely nothing since getting signed. Couple shows (literally), polished some tracks, maybe did some new ones, that's it.
What a joke. I can't think of another artist who wasted their shot more than him. I mean, dude had all of NY and many other places around the world on his back after Exhibit C (officially) dropped. Everyone wanted to sign him, I remember people asking me if he had any mixtapes out, etc. And yes, he did do many shows and cultivated a fanbase that way, but he never released anything. It doesn't make any damn sense.
fuckouttahere, I make this god damn post every other month. Fuck it, too much good music came out this year for me to catch feelings over snaggletooth jones

It's common sense that Badu is the main reason for the downfall of every rapper who dates or dated her.... Well, except Common Sense.
My list based on whats come out so far, which i think is everything:
1. Oneirology-Cunninlynguists: This album is everything i love about Hip-Hop. Great production that evokes a great mood and laid back rhymes with great lyrics. This should be a must listen for any fans of rap.
2.Undun-The Roots: The haunting theme throughout this album evokes Imagery like no other record this year. Blackthought is great, as always, and the production on this record might of been my favorite from The Roots. Only reason it isnt my top is because there is only really 8 tracks, and there were quite a few features. I would of loved more of Blackthought.
3. The Dreamer/The Believer- Common: Common comes out swinging with this album. With No ID behind the boards, this is Commons best effort since Be. Ghetto Dreams and Blue Sky are some of my favorite songs of the year.
4. Section.80-Kendrick Lamar: I wasnt feeling Kendricks previous efforts that much, so I wasnt looking forward to this at all. But I gave it a shot and I am glad that I did. Keishas Song, Ronald Reagan Era, Hiiipower, The Spiteful Chant are just some of the great songs on the album. It is one of the few albums this year I can play the whole way through.
5. A Sucker For Pumps- TiRon & Ayomari: This album blew me away initially. This album was so catchy and poppy, but in the best way possible. Her Theme Song is what i want in a catchy song. I wish it didnt take as long as it did to find it.
6.Return Of The 4 Eva-Big K.R.I.T.
7. Together/Apart-Grieves
8. Castor,The Twin-Dessa: Fuck yall, its hip-hop enough and in my top 10.
9. Elmatic-Elzhi
10. :03 From Gold-The ILLZ

Yeah, we need to get those finished.
Hope they didn't change it too drastically, F.A.M.E. is an incredible track and I'm pretty much in love with it's current version.

Two years ago all that was holding the album back was a Nas verse. Last year Jay played the album for a DJ in London. This year it's "finished" again. So yea, they've essentially been sitting on the album for awhile.
At what point do you think its just a bunch of bullshit? Shit's vapor ware.

Young Guru made a big deal about finishing the mastering process with Just Blaze for it; that was a couple months ago, and the last we got an update. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it didn't drop next year either. Elec is too afraid of people not liking it

Thanks for reminding me that album exists. Gonna go purge myself now.
It will be dropped silently a year after Jay gets dropped from Roc Nation. I dont understand how he is profitable for them.
what? For real? I always thought of jeezy making the same ish over and over again. I can't tell if its sarcasm.

It isnt that good. Its hype, and it bangs. But it isnt remotely AOTY material.
Blackace
if you see me in a fight with a bear, don't help me fool, help the bear!
The Reccession was dope... If you thought that was the same stuff over and over again I can't help you..
Jeezy has a lane that rolls in, but everyone does saying otherwise is just being silly
Agreed.
Blackace

The fuck you say.... I dont tell you whatever minor artist you hyping isn't AOTY.. Stay out my post
Wasnt talking to you, check who I was replying to. The dude on the corner selling bootleg tapes of his raps he made in his basement is my AOTY. Dude is about to blow.
;__;
Now I have unreasonable high expectations for the album. It's all your fault if it sucks Toku.

that Diggable Planets bassline, that flow/lyrics...i was getting 2 hours of sleep a day if i was lucky working fulltime at a hospital, medic class and fire dept internship, running around like a zombie. i'd play that shit and just keep movin.
i bet everyone in this thread has one track, at one point in time, that kept them from either quitting or doing some real ignorant shit.
back off ace, i knew dude before he wasn't signed
Fuck it, im already not liking him now that you guys know about him. And Shiiit, ill interrupt any convo i damn well please. Im gully like that.

haha, you know since I see this is brought up every now and then. I'm curious, has anybody truly met someone who hates rappers(Or artists in general) just because they blew up/went mainstream?
That bassline is ridiculous. Listening to it right now.
I think that track is Hurt Me Soul for me personally. Not sure.
Nope. Im sure they exist, as they do with any other Genre. I always get happy a rapper i followed since their beginning gets huge. I knew about Cole before he got signed, though i wasnt a huge fan until The Warm Up. I knew about Danny Brown well before yall knew about his crazy ass, but thats because i met him and know some of the same people. When Cudi blew up, it was also nice. I love talented guys getting successful.
