"Producer of the Year: MADLIB in the biggest landslide of all categories
Runners Up: Apollo Brown, DJ Muggs, Kanye West, Buckwild, Alchemist/Oh No, Bronze Nazareth"

The fact that there is no Statik Selektah there makes this thread irrelevant. The fact that B.M.F. is on any of the lists makes it worse.

ok Statik probably deserves to be here but im sleeping on the Term and 100 Proof

and even so, no one can come close to Madlib in that category

Either of Statik's album from this year>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Everything Madlib has done since 2007

MY year end awards: (subject to change once i hear everything though)

AOTY: Big Boi- Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son Of Chico Dusty
This was a hard decision to make as there's 4 other albums that could have won this for me, but I've spun Big Boi's album the most this year so I'm giving it the nod.

Madlib produced WHAT exactly this year?

Jeff wrote:

lol r u serious? He released 12 instrumental albums, the 6 original production ones (ive heard 2 are EXTREMELY dope and plan on picking all of them up if there is a box set. He produced In Search of Stoney Jackson and OJ Simpson in full, two top 6 albums for me and top 3 in terms of production. He produced "Earl Flinn" from the Slum Village album, "Aristotles Dilemma" from the Vinnie Paz album, 2 songs from the Erykah Badu album and i know im missing more. No producer has been this damn good or even close to as prolific as Madlib this year, hands down.

Hes also produced three albums as Yesterday's New Quintet - Miles Away, Slave Riot, and Space and Time i havent heard these yet though. And he produced that new Madvillain tack.

Try again.

AOTY: Big Boi's "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty"
Runners-Up: Brotha Lynch Hung's "Dinner and a Movie," The Roots' "How I Got Over"

Collaboration of the Year: Too many to pick one. A few of my favorites:
Sadat X feat. Kurupt, M1 & Sir Jinx - "Pray"
yU feat. EyeQ - "Corners"
Big Boi feat. Gucci Mane - "Shine Blockas"
The Roots feat. John Legend - "The Fire"
Black Sheep feat. Trugoy, Q-Tip & Mike G - "Birds of a Feather"
Brotha Lynch Hung feat. Kurupt & Daz - "Anotha Killing"
Statik Selektah & Termanology feat. Freeway & Saigon - "Life Is What You Make It"
Rick Ross feat. Jay-Z - "Free Mason"

Most Disappointing Album of the Year:T.I.'s "No Mercy"

Producer of the Year: Oddisee
Between his instrumental album "Travelin' Man," Trek Life's "Everything Changed Nothing," the conclusion of his "Odd Season" series, and his tracks for everybody from yU to E-Reece to Stik Figa, Oddisee had 2010 on lock.

Comeback of the Year: Eminem
Em really exceeded all expectations this year. Really impressed me on both his album and all of his many guest spots.
Runners-Up: Dres, Brotha Lynch Hung

Emcee of the Year: Rakaa Iriscience
I pick Rakaa not because I thought "Crown of Thorns" was necessarily an amazing album, but he absolutely killed every guest verse I heard him on this year.

Hey game theory, you order or gotten your N with Lattitude CD?

Nah...I still haven't gotten it. I'm becoming real anxious haha. I've just been bumping the stream they got up on bandcamp in the meantime.

I'm waiting for the physical but getting impatient too.. don't think I was one of the first 100 pre orders though.

That's why I'm so impatient cuz I wanna see I get that mix. I feel like I might be one of the first 100...but who knows. Those people over at QN5 order like 5 copies of every preorder haha.

"Runner Up: Black Thought on Radio Daze"

3rd place on that track...

No way....
