The Roots - How I Got Over
Kno - Death is Silent
Currency - Pilot Talk
Big Boi - The Son of Chico Dusty
Rick Ross - Teflon Don
Strong Army Steady - In Search of Stony Jackson
Black Milk - Album of the Year
The Left - Gas Mask
Nas & Damien Marley - Distant Relatives
Freeway & Jake One - Stimulus Package

Pilot Talk will no doubt wind up on the list, and Kanye's album (might troll it regardless). Still haven't listened to Shad's album, and some others

feels like I'm missing a lot of albums for some reason. Joe Budden's album could go on the list I guess.

My problem with the Budden album (and most of his shit anyway) is the tracks are always a minute too long and it doesn't help that its just him complaining for the whole thing. I don't mind emo shit (I legitimately like Cudi, Atmosphere etc.) but his shit just wears on me a minute into most of his tracks.

Yes you nailed it really...Also I don't like the choruses on some of the tracks, but that's just me being nit-picky. Overall though, I don't there are very many albums that sound like it this year, which helped its case in my book.

It has some great tracks but the production is pretty weak and many songs feel the same lyrically. Lots of complaining. Although it doesn't match the "she was a stripper on weekends to take care of her 5 year old son btw she's 19 and her dad raped her" Atmosphere stuff. jeez

Big KRIT - Wuz Here
Pimp C - Naked Soul of Sweet James
My GOOD Friday CD
Rick Ross - Teflon Don (where the hell did this come from?!?)
Diabolic - Liar & A Thief
Freddie Gibbs - Str8 Killa No Filla (stfu Statik tags)
Wacka Flocka - Flockaveli (haven't heard this much bang in a couple years)
Big Boi - Leftfoot (burnt fast, didn't have much staying power in my CD player)
Drake - Thank Me Later (Really played out fast but I'd be lying if I said I didn't bump the shit out of it)
Jeezy - Trap or Die 2


Notable Turds

Bun B - Trill O.G. -lame as shit. Sounds like Diddy was the executive producer. 5 mics lol.
Eminem - Recovery -stop while you're ahead Em.
Joe Budden - it's like he's personifying the Mad Rapper skits on the old Biggie CDs. Take a pill man.

I think the production is fantastic on Mood Muzik Vol. 4 actually, and I found it less cheesy lyrically than Atmosphere's album.

Its not corny pop-rap either. There are a lot of legitimately good tracks on this album, no cursing (save for once, and its bleeped out, lulz), no suggestive themes, just good clean Hip-Hopz.

I actually have most of his stuff in the truck along with some Beastie Boys just for this purpose.

Good thinking though. That's pretty much what I'm looking for.

I have never liked the production on a Joe Budden album. Mood Muzik Vol. 3, Vol. 4 and whatever his last album was especially. They all have that weird, rock/80s sound to them.

And sometimes I also can't take his incessant complaining. I don't know how he's getting with these video chicks. He must use his music as an outlet and is actually cheerful and upbeat in person.

Also, I am not really feeling too many albums from this year.

So far, maybe Teflon Don, Pilot Talk and How I Got Over.

I still need to give Wiz Khalifa (sp), Waka Flocka, Freddie Gibs and Big Kritt a listen.

Those that can't name 10 albums haven't listened to enough shit...That's ridiculous.

Edit: Also revised my list, listened to the Versis album again and felt it should definitely be in my top ten.

All of my favorite Big Sean tracks are the ones with Mike Posner on them. Though I do love his lemonade and rollin freestyles.

I've listened to a bunch of other albums, just not any I find particularly good. (Thank Me Later, Teflon Don, Pilot Talk, Sir Luscious Left Foot, Revolutions Per Minute, Stimulus Package, etc. etc.)


I'm just picky.

Check out the albums in my top five, besides the Pimp C album, it's definitely an acquired taste that I have for him that made it so high.

Hey, my GAF-HOP bretheren.

Start by punching yourself in the ear until you go deaf. Thats the only way you will enjoy Big Sean.

also, top ten

Skuf'L - Welcome to my block
Royce da 5'9 - Bar exam 3
Big Boi - Sir lucious left foot
J.Lately - el mananero
Mike Dreams - Just waking up
Miami Beat Wave - Slight modification
Atmosphere - To all my friends

There are a few I haven't had enough time to listen to yet that may knock some of these off the list. Like that Add-2 mixtape.

lol I'm just being mouthy. I mean I still think he sucks dog dick but if you wanna hear him, by all means go ahead. I just wish someone would tattoo "how you say it is more important than what you say" on his hand. Guy has one of the most obnoxiously boring deliveries in hip hop that makes any lyrical talent he may have completely irrelevant to me.

At least he's not the worst rapper on that roster anymore. That honor goes to Cyhi The Prynce.

I think CyHi's worse than he is. I'm liking this UKNOWBIGSEAN tape though. Some tracks aren't jumping at me as real special, but I appreciate it. Thanks again, guys.

Despite their decent features on G.O.O.D. Friday tracks, I can't get into Big Sean or CyHi at all. I've given up trying to like them a long time ago.

I pretend Cyhi doesn't exist.

I mean for fucks sake he spells Prince with a motherfucking Y. A fucking Y. A fucking Y. Y. This is not 1992 and purposefully misspelling simple words is no longer "cool and rebellious". It's dumb as fuck and makes you look like an uneducated SPED student.

Don't blame him touring is where the money is at nowadays. People just release songs to get people to come out to shows.

Fuck you, Tokubetsu. I just listened to Dear Moleskine's little snippet again because of you and it has brought fourth all the feelings of anger and desperation at the release of that song again.

BTW, Dear Moleskine is also the title of a audio/visual project. It's been finished for at least 1.5 years, nobody really knows the extent of the project. Only confirmed songs are the title Dear Moleskine and Exhibit A.
