probably my favorite rap album 2011

gun sounds was worthless and was just one more thread for me to look at deej's stupid gucci crush

dude, what hipsters do -- whether they do or dont like this -- has nothing to do w/ it. they can be 'all over it' or ignore it.

heartbroken rn

what year is this ? hes not even on my year end lists this yr

does whiney ever not talk in really tortured metaphors involving imaginary cultural signifiers

gun sounds was a great title fuiud

at least there was never a rolling ghetto house thread

that wouldn't have made sense.

is anyone else going to post shit they liked this year?

you dont need to post your whole list but throw an artist out there or a couple youtubes or something

my fave rap album of 2011 was the Killer Mike

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPT1oN1kplo

this isn't on the boldy james tape, but it's got a verse from him. its from Louie P Newton, who is on that track "Pumping Gas" i posted a bit upthread. It also features GLC.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIkjIFAhqas

i have to say, dealwithit.gif, when you told me that was your favorite rap record of the year i thought that was votes very much in character ha. i cant think of a more whiney-esque rapper this year

everyone else post their fave song from their fave rap album of the year

xpost, yeah, it's got def that righteous indignation I like of like "a conscious dude who will rap about rockefeller drug laws and also punch you out" Those are my fave rappers: Ice Cube, Willie D, David Banner, etc...

"Ric Flair" is my favourite off the Killer Mike.

plus like in the year of chillwave softest serve pillow rap, it goes hard p much start to finish

takes me back to when rappers yelled

the Flying Lotus track is weird though

i didn't like any rap this year

i liked some but it was a lot of canon stuff (e-40/quik/etc.) and mildly well received mixtapes (mouse/fiend/etc.), i'm hoping this week i can play catch up and do a lot of listening before i set my year-end lists in stone

quik, e-40, kendrick, shabazz palaces and maybe na'tee will be in my top ten, i think. most of my energy for digging into obscure shit has gone elsewhere this year, so it's mostly been checking for people i already know i like.

furnace mane i would check out schoolboy q's album if i were you its called 'setbacks'

i think you would f/w it

I prefer it to Kendrick's album

yeah its more my speed, but most of my reasons for preferring it are stylistic preference rather than like, stuff that sucks about the kendrick or something

kendrick will be in my top 10 -- was shocked how much i grew to like it

takes me back to when rappers yelled

did you like the death grips mixtape? it was the highest placing 'rap' album on my eoy but i was a little embarrassed when no other rap music made our list

i really, really liked the main attrakionz mixtape as well as the spaceghostpurpp and kendrick lamar ones.

i'm sure only dealwithit.gif will like this but this was one of my fav tracks from one of my fav hip hop albums this year

Kendrick has stuff like the dude singing on "Ronald Reagan Era" which just takes me right out of it. Schoolboy Q has Jhene Aiko who's much more agreeable

Jay Rock's debut album coulda gone from a B+ to an A if it didn't have such a watered down second half.

Haven't heard that or Ab-Soul's one. Anyone?

yeah the jay rock was better than i expected too

completely forgot it was this year but I did love the Dinner and a Movie by Brotha Lynch Hung.

err sorry Coathanga Strangla

Yeah, sandlamp, Death Grips is in my top 50

everything about kendrick lamar screams red flag to me, is there a song that might convince me i should not be so cynical about him

rigamortis

i've heard it. it's aight.

i should check out jay rock and ab-soul's shit tho.

what's the over/under on whether TM103 comes out this year. I mean I know unlike prior drop dates that industry heads have heard what the supposed finished product is but at this stage I think it'd be kinda hilarious if he pushed it back again, kinda like rap's Cartmanland

it weirds me out that those 2 guys work together because i've known a rapper from around here for years called ab rock (xpost)

i think TM103 is definitely dropping this month now

it's definitely coming out -- it's definitely going to be his least good album (depending on how you feel about 102)

Yo Gotti's joint is pushed back to 2012 now

yeah, "rigamortis" def

i care more about the t-pain & thicke albums coming out

al:

i think that was promo only... but id be surprised if you couldnt swing a copy (lol at the morbsian nick btw)

some dude what dont you like abt kendrick lamar? adhd is my fave track off the mixtape

we might as well give up now bcuz none of us will ever have real world impact
