Why are you separating it like that anyway? Your top 10 includes both mixtapes and albums. Only thing I'd actually point out is that there actually is a difference between the free version of BFK and the paid version.

Yea makes sense. It's weird, I flip flop on this a lot. Last year I made XXX my aoty with no second thoughts. Earlier today I was looking at 2dope'z AOTY lists and they're split between LPs and mixtapes, and EPs lol
fuck it, I'm put it on my top 10 list. But I will also do a top 5 EP/mixtape list
so, its not hip hop. you and miri and some others need to stop trying to group shit into hip hop because it has elements of it and you like it a lot.
its so demonic friend
They probably do that to give more albums/tapes some exposure.
Your album of the year list can include full length albums and mixtapes but for the most part should not include EPs. I don't think there's an EP that I can think of the top of my head that blew me away.

It's as much Hip-Hop as it is Electronic now if you want to say instrumental albums don't count then I have nothing else to say
It's going in my top ten as well so whatever.
It's not hip-hop. It's closer to dubstep than hip-hop
I think its just electronic music, im not getting into 'slashies'. It's a good cut, but when i think 'TNGHT' im not like 'man this was some of the best hip hop this year. I associate both hudmo and lunice with electronic music and this EP all the same. Plus its an EP. Plus its not top 10 quality for me even if it was, something like Cigarette Boats shyts all over TNGHT.

yep. this is good.
Yall didn't see a lack of focus on BFK?
Maybe I hold Gibbs to a higher standard. Thought BFK was gonna be the one, but it came off really wordy and almost rushed. Maybe he's gonna be one of those rappers who never releases an album that matches his potential.
I can't even put it over Str8 Killa or Midwestboxframe.
It's not bad, it just landed kinda average for me.

Okay well based off plenty of Hip Hop sites that mention it you are one of the few that believe this therefore you are irrelevant. Include it if you want peterboy
I'm not saying it's pure hip-hop though, notice I said it's as much hip-hop as it is electronic. I can see how it leans on both sides. I think instrumental albums should have their own category anyway

It's not as good as his previous tapes/albums but I thought it was pretty damn good. Top 10 tier.
4eva and a day is top 10 for me.

I like it a lot, but Wanderingwind said something that I think I agree with. It kind of lacks soul. When I go back and listen to his old tapes it sounded like those tapes had some heart behind it and when I go back to BFK something just sounds off. But regardless I like it a lot.
Majority posters here are fans.
I think it's interesting all the genres your average internet/blogger hip-hop fan is exposed to now. And with the discovery of samples significantly quicker and easier than before, I think it's rare to find someone that just listens to hip-hop.
Listening now
I haven't agreed with you more in a long time : )
...Also Esch did you hear of a new Nosaj Thing dropping soon?!!
I wish. My electronic fandom has completely been thrown in the bushes this year. I need to spend like 3 months digging in the crates breh. I could use a 2012 roundup like you wouldnt believe.
Woah.
Nap music needs love too, I suppose. The production is interesting, but the lyrics just float around doing nothing in particular.
I guess that's another way to put it.
Don't get me wrong, if I was talking music to a casual rap fan irl I'd rep that BFK pretty hard. I don't understand some of the copious love it get's here. There are a few bangers, just a shit ton of filler on there.
As for why it lacked soul, from the sounds of it on BFK, Snowman laced Gibbs with a nice little personal stash. Pretty good odds that Gibbs goes full Young Buck in 2012.

Should've just let them have that. I was going to say something bout his irrelevant raps and that C4C instrumental album>El-P C4C
if you nap during C4C you are a crackhead
also re: Gibbs this is the funniest thing ive ever read relating to him

Watch some Infamous interviews after the 3-6 break up. Dude is straight up living in the hood again, looking ratchet as fuck. Really shitty that such an influencing voice in hip hop is pretty much broke now and living gutter. Dude does seem pretty chemically imbalanced though. Guess anyone who really listened to his shit already knew that though.

Okay sorry this is a quick 180 haha, but maybe El-P isn't as irrelevant as I say. I say that because I just listened to some songs off it and was digging it quite a bit, but still those instrumentals>
i think El spits with some genuine passon on that LP and I dont see why he's getting the slack. I think he goes hard on some of those verses. And not even in a backpack way. Some gutter shit "splash in another man's snatch get murdered"shit. And i never even liked him pre-2012.
YES. Spot on. Also while Killer Mike is undoubtedly the better rapper, I do enjoy El-P's lyrics slightly more for their imagination and batshit insane theatrics.

I thought the the same until this afternoon. It's different enough for both of them to get on there IMO. Plus El-P and the featured artists ride the beats so well, I don't get the "nap music" stuff.
And BFK's first half is more than enough to get it into a top 10.
I think the production style and overall feel of C4C and RAP music are quite distinctly different from each other. Like for the same producer and the same year, its impressive how different each feels. I'd say El outdid or at least equalled someone equivalent like the Alchemist in this regard (making fully produced albums sound different) in 2012.

It's hard to fuck with El's flow and rhyme pattern. C4C has some great songs though, especially the end track. Doubt it'll be in my top 10 though, whereas Russian Roulette is top 3 for me
