Which release do you think had the most hype (not necessarily only from this year)? In my opinion, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy takes the cake. The release was more of an event, as Kanye had fans racing home on the weekends to download the new G.O.O.D. Friday track every week up until (and after) the release of MBDTF.

Definitely. WTT is number 2. Kanye seems to have the internet by the balls, music wise.

You ever gonna put the artist and album name for any of these? Hate it when people do this shit, acting like everyone should recognize every album just by the cover, but the cover dont say shit! You probably didn't do it intentionally, but I still hate it when people do this.

An overrated East Coast producer who can only channel famous East Coast producers from the 90s without ever really carving out a sound of his own?

Pretty sure only Gaf-Hop overrates him. Aside from a few choice cuts here and there, the two best things he's done are his first album (Spell My Name Right) and Well-Done.

He was stronger on State of Grace than he was on Well Done.

---------

My top 5:


5. Tiron & Ayomari – A Sucker For Pumps

These guys came out of nowhere, and I’m fucking glad they did. They aren’t them most lyrical of fellows, and there subject matter doesn’t make me question anything, but, from front to back, they know how to assemble one fun album.

4. The Roots – Undun.

I’m not getting the supposed story behind this album just yet, but I want to eventually, and I’ll keep listening till it comes into view. That’s the highest praise I can give atm.

3. Thurz – L.A Riot

Hard hitter. Hard hitter. This album knocks in all different directions. And it’s calling for anarchy is quite cathartic.

2. Nujabes – Spiritual State

This was easily the weakest of his albums for me, but that’s not to say this was bad. It was amazing, and the feature artists actually carried weight this time around, it’s just that it didn’t resonate as well as his previous two releases.

1. Curren$y – Covert Coup

The moody understated nature of the Alch’s production along with Currensy’s ‘train-of-thought’ flow came together to form this holy unison of throb. Spiita may never have released MCC, and has saturated the market with samey sounding tapes for a little while too long now, but it goes to show that the hustle always pays off. This gem that still gets a daily rotation from your’s truly.

*Here's 10-6 in another post.

I didn't even end up including Bronson, KRIT, or Cunninlynguists. Such a good year for hip hop.

Agree to disagree then lol. To me, Bronson is an element that Statik's production was missing all this time. He elevates statik's work. I do fuck with State of Grace though, especially "This Is How It Is."

After the first listen leaving me really cold, I've warmed the hell up to The Dreamer/The Believer which almost never happens. No I.D. did work.

see i didnt mind his Undun verses. he dialed it back for the sake of the work as a whole.

I know, and respect that.

But I listen to BT to hear him go super saiyan ape shit, because he's the GOAT. The Roots projects are increasingly moving away from that live shit, so it's just nice to hear him back in the environment where he can stretch his wings and just go in on the mic.

Hell yes, just bumped that a couple time when my brother came over, because he loves Peedi.

You can never have too much Peedi. I wish he was on a few more tracks, or all of them.

No Peedi is too much Peedi. His sheer existence annoys me. Even typing out his name makes me want to hire Siddx to punch babies.

Agreed, I've never found Statik to be anything special in particular, but I'm always hearing his name mentioned on rap blogs all the time.

Statik is a very average producer, but his work on well done was fantastic. Some A+ shit.

As I said man, Action elevates his shit a lot. He's Statik's missing element. That's not even to hate, it's just, there a million bedroom producers doing similar shit. I don't think my shit is even there yet but give me a couple more months and I'mma be there. /hate
