outside of anything before 1984 (maybe 1983) was better also I would say that every year you just mentioned are better than 2010...of course this is all opinion but 2010 was doo-doo man OVERALL...a completely weak and disappointing year overall.....I mean look at some of these lists being compiled under this thread...

Did Vinnie Paz (as an example) create some all time hip-hop on that album he released?? because if he did I'm picking that shit up right NOW

I'm not going any further mane...this is embarassing

I don't know. I haven't heard it. I'm not saying 2010 will end up being better than those years after I hear more stuff. But, as of right now, I've heard 11 albums. 2 are 5 stars, 7 are above 4 stars (with 2-3 being near 5 stars), and only 2 are under 4 stars. Seems like a good year so far.

lmao @ the '97 list

fuck it here's 1998 and 1999...again both are beating up 2010 IMO!

that '97 list is killing this years lists

lmao@ 2010 lists

I don't know. According to that list, there are 18 albums above 4 stars from 1997, and no 5 star albums. Doesn't sound too strong to me.

And, I will take 1999 off of my list. You will love #6 on there, though.

lol @ number 6...yeah okay man...lol

compared to the 90's any yr in the 2000s is weak, with the exception of 2000 and 2001

Hmmm, my top 6 would have to be....

1. Shad "T.S.O.L."
2. Big Boi "Sir Lucious Left Foot"
3. Moe Pope "Life After God"
4. Pack FM "I Fucking Hate Rappers"
5. The Roots "How I Got Over"
6. Wide Eyes "Hand Tied"

All are in the 4.5-5 star range for me. Big Boi may be my most played album of the year; but I put Shad at #1 because I felt it was the most consistently dope album all the way through.

lol at those lists powell... do you really want me to break those lists down? Or do you prefer to live in ignorance bliss?

what "ignorance bliss"??

those lists show how that 2010 can't get close to anything on them Pedro...do you choose to be a stubborn mule until death or does the truth finally register???

2010 was a bowel movement in progress in terms of quality hip-hop music.....plain and simple!

1. Vinnie Paz- Season of the Assassin (I see you A. Perez!)
2. The Roots- How I Got Over
3. Kanye West- My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Those are my top 3 as of right now. No 5 star albums, but damn solid. It has been a good year for hip hop, lots of dopeness has dropped so far.

ummm RZA, that 1996 was from someone off of Amazon and they only listed their top 14, so I just used that one to talk about 1996...if I posted all of the dopeness from that last year of the golden ages then 2010 would look even worse then it already does....lol

Hey Tran I'll ask you the same question that I asked the others....has hip-hop music ever had any weak years to your knowledge?? and if so please list those said years??

you already said that there were NO 5 star albums from this year...I'd said that this year qualifies as one of those very weak years, how about you mane??

Powell, you have no clue what you're talking about.

Either us young'uns can speak on the golden age and you can speak on the present, or we can't talk about the golden age and you can't speak on now. Can't have it both ways, old timer.

http://rateyourmusic.com/list/diction/the_top_125_hip_hop_albums_of_1996

here's a more complete 1996 list Slang! ya happy now?? lol

Yo, just because there aren't any 5 star albums don't mean it's toilet bowel. Read the lots of dopeness has dropped so far, that's key.

97-99 were pretty weak, and probably couple of years in 2000, but I gotta look it up to make sure.

But I guess I love hip hop too much to hate, shit each and every year has good shit dropping, and I'm still discovering something dope from each year.

Even 97-99, I'm still finding unknown gems that dropped that year, so even if I think those years are weak, there are still dopeness to be found.

ummm Jeff, shut the fuck up man and keep waiting for the good ol boy haystak to drop his 3 "bangers" in 2011 okay...

leave the hip-hop to the hip-hoppers okay mane! thanks a bunch

and tranny go review those lists containing 1997 through 1999 that I posted mane...it's a damn slaughterhouse my dude...lol

Powell's opinions are based on less than 20 albums a year...and that's being liberal.

2010 has been bananas as far as I'm concerned. And there are a lot of albums I have yet to check. NYC has produced some quality this year, Powell. Quit being so stubborn...you're robbing yourself of some excellent music.

according to you...I think you dummies think that because you've heard 18,000 albums that your opinion is more qualified than mine and that is stupid when out of the 18,000 albums 17,955 of them are 3 stars or less...ya dumb ass....as usual no one mentioned lil joe anywhere in this thread and as usual when he sees the name POWELL he gets a woody...I'm married man beat it! lol I'm talking about hip-hop now my dude, not Geneva! lol

"2010 has been BANANAS"????????

now I've read all I'll ever need to:

And you guys wonder why I will NEVER take any rec's from kid joe....lol

2010 has been BANANAS mane...from a hip-hop standpoint it's been BANANAS...at least according to parker kid lil joseph joe leonard lewis....

Hearing more albums from 2010, without a doubt, makes my opinion on overall hip-hop in 2010 more qualified. How do you not understand this logic?

and how do you not understand the logic that this is easily one of the weakest years EVER in hip-hop history?? unless you have NO hip-hop history...which one is it lil joe??

That doesn't make any sense. How did you make it through college?

I'm really trying not to be so condescending ...but once again Powell, you're showing how completely fucking dumb you are. And, once again, to compensate for being totally ineffectual in discussion...making fun of my name. Weak and stupid, little buddy. Weak and stupid.

U don't understand Jeffrey?? but you seem to have no problem with understanding every lyric written by 'Stak huh?? now you're real smart mane! lol

to you its "weak and stupid" because as usual you opened your keyboard and stepped in shit once again...but this normally happens to you when you attempt to "debate" against me mane...I thought you would already have understood this by now

anyway since in your opinion this year has been BANANAS please list for me the top 10 albums from this year so far that you have heard and then I will let you know which from that list I have not heard and I will purchase all of the ones I haven't and then let you knwo what I think about them at a later date okay lil joe??

Maybe you'd like to show me where I said anything in this discussion about any year other than 2010. And there is no logic in your statement...its opinion. Being opinion, its not wrong or right...its how you feel and that's fine.

Stating that hearing more music from a given year makes one more qualified to judge the year overall is irrefutable logic.

Say something stupid...

it's your logic and thats fine too stupid....I don't listen to wack shit my dude

like I said earlier list for me your top 10 albums from 2010 so far and the ones that I have not heard I will buy all of those and then give you my opinion on them at a later date...hey lil joe that would mean I'm actually going to take a few rec's from your crazy ass...this in itself makes 2010 a strange year in hip-hop history....lol

See, that's the thing about logic, Powell. It's not mine or yours, its the standard. It's mathematical concepts applied in discussion. It's how the unarguable is established. It's the opposite of opinion, more or less.

I'll get you a list.

I can't wait! lol

no matter what you think about this year, you have to concede that a person who has heard MUCH more albums has a more qualified opinion. Im not claiming this year as that great or anything but you need to hear more to judge

that's why I'm waiting with high anticipation on his list Slang...you can feel free to add a few on it as well!

A person who has heard more albums opinion should have more staying power than a person who has heard way less. But more is not always better because it can cloud your judgment without you even knowing. I do not even have the urge to listen to all the shit some of you guys go out and find. It does make the "more guy" sometimes come off a lil suspect. They can have a skitzo thing going.

i agree with that too, but a lot of times if you dont give shit a chance you cant judge, and if someone only hears a little bit they cant judge a whole year. Also, people have to be open to hearing new things, some are just so stubborn that theyll write it off before hearing and when they do they hear it their predetermined thoughts will affect their judgment

I have to agree with Powell. Distant Relatives dropped this year, which means 2010 sucks by default.
