BAM! 10 albums better than Be!

Be is still a great album tho...

Die Rugged Man Die is a compilation isn't it? Does that count? There are a LOT of albums I'd put over Be though to be honest. Common has never really done it for me.

This is really, really, really, really, really good. Mood Muzik 4 and Death Is Silent are definitely going to be fighting for my #1 spot this year. October's been a GREAT month.

Thought I would share here too

Kanye West - Dont Look Down ft. Mos Def, Lupe Fiasco, Big Sean

If he updates this with a better mix it will be awesome.

Don't like it much.

My reasons:

- Dammit Mos Def, just SPIT. Beat dropped, and I thought, "oh Mos is gonna kill this....." Then he came in singing. "Fuck."

- Starting to realize that I can't stand the way Lupe enunciates the last word of each bar. Has it always been this way?

- Kanye adding effects over his voice was getting old to me, yesterday.

- Big Sean is a bum. He's a Drake clone, full stop.

:lol This is actually pretty damn funny. "Michelle Obama" is hilarious.

Also, Common's BE is a great album, but it's about 3 tracks short of being a classic. Sometimes brevity works (illmatic) but in this case, BE really felt like it needed to be a tad bit longer.

Man I used to be so into hip hop, but really fell out of love with it for the past year or two. I think the last two albums I bought were BP3 and Relapse, absolute trash and a waste of money btw. What was the consensus on the Nas and Damian Marley album, what about Recovery? I may start up again with Big Boi's latest album, I've heard a few incredible songs from that one on you tube. Anybody want to give me their top five songs of 2010?

I dare anyone that thinks Gucci can't rap to listen to this here song and tell me he doesn't go in. Seriously.

Also, that Lil B song goes in, fuck da hataz.

Both songs are horrible, at least that Lil B song had an excellent instrumental going for it. And yes, i gave that gucci song a listen, besides sounding like crap, he doesnt say anything of value.

Mine would be

1.All of the Lights(and this is before the final version, so it could change)-Kanye West
2. Dear God 2.0-The Roots
3. So Appalled-Kanye Ft.Jayz,Pusha T,etc.
4.Rhythm of the Rain-Kno
5.Black and Yellow-Wiz Khalifa

Honorable mention would be "This Plane" by Wiz Khalifa, but i think that was 2009...still bang it all the damn time.

Thats what im currently always playing, but, that is subject to change at any point lol.

Edit:sorry about the double post!

I'm not big fan and I agree with most of what you said except that Drake is actually a Big Sean clone. Big Sean started to whole " I'm so cold...ice" bullshit.

You don't listen to Gucci if you're wanting a deep message or something. Hes strictly gangsta and brag raps, and theres nothing wrong with that, as long as he raps well enough. Theres different times, places, moods, and most importantly markets for different types of Hip-Hop. I just don't see why people can't like the underground and the mainstream shit.

I have no problem with Gangsta rap or brag rapping, i just dont see him bringing anything new or even good to the table. Hes not even clever. His whole crew is pathetic(OJ,Wacka...ughhh). Oh well, good for you if you like that kinda thing tho, but that constant "Burr" shit gets on my damn nerves.

Too bad its him streaming some live concert or something? I don't know. It's more Jay Electronica horse shit. I don't even want Act II anymore. This is disgusting. At least Blu has the decency to leak shitty unmixed tracks but keep his fucking mouth shit this entire time.

nahhh... Die Rugged Man Die is his actual album, and an absolutely fantastic one.

Legendary Classics vol. 1 was an official compilation released late last year of his, which actually didnt offer much anything new if you've ever checked out all the bootlegged mp3 compilations ppl had always put out over the internet

When did Big Sean start this? I thought Kanye has been doing it since before Graduation.

Just going off of Common's stellar discography, I think you could easily make the argument that he's one of the top ten greatest rappers of all time.

I'm hesitant to give him that title, but he deserves to be in the conversation at the very least.

Dirty Harriet was always seriously underrated to me. I remember buying that way back when, but it never really caught on I guess. That Harriet Thugman beat is still my shit. On a somewhat related note, this was one of my favorite albums when it came out as well:
