I enjoyed it too, it was nice to hear new x tracks but then it turned out most of my faves were recycled. If X cleans up, Swizz said he has an album for him. I just hope he does, because he still has a completely different energy to the cats out now.

 

[HiResDes]

Touche 36 Chambers, but you already knew I was gonna come at a god.

 

[Esch]

Undisputed is a legit C-/D+ album. I dont know what energy you;re talking about because that shit put me to sleep. Awful.

 

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

Absolutely Des. Id be worried about you if you werent getting at me about that album lol.

[IrishNinja]

damn, cant believe you ninjas got me thinking "should i have checked out mil?"

props to 36 for sticking to his guns - i wanted to love X's shit, i didn't go in expecting its dark & hell's hot 2 but hearing dude bust out in tears at one point threw me for a loop. i love seeing artists grow - me against the world is one of my favorite pac joints - but that was some left field shit for me

and all ya'll "waaah GKMC gon win" need to stop ya bitching, even if you act like there was a better album this year you cant deny it's top-tier respectability as a candidate. some of ya'll actin like we put Take Care on top last year (which was also a good album but not on that level)...i mean you got enzos over there callin medium sean B.I.G., that's the real offense here folks

 

[Fjordson]

List is up, might do a writeup if I get bored.

Damn, good look on the Mr. MF'in eXquire tape. Somehow forgot about that one even though I listened to it a ton.

 

[Macca]

TDE should not be included as a group. They're a label. Mac Miller is also a part of TDE. As a group, fine, vote Black Hippy if you want (Not that they did anything), but not TDE.

It's like voting for YMCMB as group of the year.

EDIT: OK, maybe Mac Miller didn't, I swear I read that. Point still stands though.

 

[mooooose]

The TDE wiki redirects to the Black Hippy wiki. I think that says enough.

 

[HiResDes]

I think he means what did the group do as a group...And the answer is: not much

 

[90TilInfinity]

Kinda torn between Kendrick and Action Bronson as artist of the year since one dropped the AOTY and the other dropped 2 quality LPs. Hmm...

After seeing this post before the edit I went and looked it up http://instagram.com/p/NIj-jJxwU4/
How they gon' be Black Hippy now. Fuck Mac Miller man.

EDIT: Also Mac Miller Says "TDE Will Be A Big Part" Of Next Album

My heart wants to say Bronson since I prefer his two albums to GKMC, but I think Kendrick is the only choice for this year.

[Enter The 36 Chambers]

up yours.

Didnt come out in 2012 my dude

 

[Esch]

not a 2012 album so i agree as well.

 

[siddx]

Best part of these aoty threads is realizing no matter how much our tastes might vary, there is common ground with everyone. Shout out to PhoenixDark, and I fuck with your top ten. Word to everyone from hhgaf on fact, yall the only reason I come here anymore.

 

[kamspy]

Didnt come out in 2012 my dude

not a 2012 album so i agree as well.

Doesn't really matter since this thread is one big furious Kendrick Lamar bukkake shower.

Just listed the my favorite rap albums that I acquired in 2012. Not like it's in contention from taking the crown from that Above the Rim casting extra.

 

[Esch]

I thought you were the guy who never got mad at what other people like? Either way i'm putting LLA in my top five next year unless we get some major surprises, so i'm content with that. It's A$AP's fault for running scared from GKMC anyway.

 

[IrishNinja]

i mean top 3 after kendrick da god of course

Ya'll like Straight No Chaser more than Rebelutionary?

 

[HiResDes]

My tentative list is up, I'm still debating on exchanging Jesus Piece for Lushlife's Plateau Vision, Duality, or Lil Ugly Mane.

 

[The Return of]

Ya'll like Straight No Chaser more than Rebelutionary?

I thought Rebelutionary had way higher highs

 

[PBY]

Damn a few more HnC #1 votes. Y'all know what's up.

 

[enzo_gt]

Undisputed would probably be top 15-20 for me. It's just not very cohesive, but there are gems on there and it's classic X. Songs like Slippin' shit on dude's entire catalogues.

good post des altho im sad that mic tyson love wasnt there

Rather get my dick sucked than do the sucking myself. But it's cool whatever makes people happy


Edit: I could see them doing an EP to introduce ab, q, and rock to mainstream which would be hilarious
