OFFICIAL 2010 TOP ALBUM LISTS AND DISCUSSION

Here's the concept - everyone post here and with your first post reserve a spot where you will have your ongoing 2010 top album list. I want everyone to reserve a spot before the discussion starts. As the year goes buy you can edit your post and change and rearrange your list as you add to it. When you make a change you post in here saying the change and the album you added/removed and discussion ensues. Hopefully this way but the time December rolls by you basically have your list and won't have to go through the arduous process of compiling it then. The number of spots on your list is up to you.


My List:

1. Mr. Sche - Immortal Thug - 4.5
2. Freeway and Jake One - 4.25
3.
4.
5. Consequence - Movies On Demand* - 4 (Real dope album, can see this staying in the mix, Cons TV is gonna be crazy)
6.Bun B - No Mixtape* - 4
7.X.O. - One.One.Ten* - 4
8. Statik Selektah - 100 Proof- 4
9. Freeway - Freelapse* - 4 (Almost as dope as the album, well close at least, dope verses here)
10. Reks - In Between The Lines* - 4 (real dope stuff here, too long, but a lot of heat on this one)
11. Bobo vs. Rhettmatic Mixtape* - 4 (real dope mixtape - just bongos and turntablism, real cool stuff IMO)
12. Laws - 457* - 3.5 (this may go higher)
13. Davinci - The Day The Turf Stood Still* - 3.5
14. T-Rock - Life Lessons - 3.5
15. Kyle Lucas - It's Always Sunny In Marietta* - 3.5

17. Donwill (of Tanya Morgan) - Laura's Tape* - 3.5 (may go higher as well)
18. Grynch - The Rapping About Rapping Mixtape* - 3.25 (Better than I expected, a little long though)
19. Nneka & J. Period - The Madness* - 3.25 (Kind of a disappointment, her solo work is tons better IMO)

22. Termanology - 50 Bodies Part 3* - 3

Others:

Curren$y - Smokee Robinson* - 2.5
Donny Goines - 20X* - 3
Amadeaus - Me vs. Me* - 3 (decent Hell Razah/Killah Priest type rapper for those interested - just not as deep)
Ayatollah Jaxx - Hello Hip Hop* - 3 (pretty good production)
Drag On - The Crazies* 1.5 (give it up Drag On!)
Yelawolf - Trunk Muzik* - 3.5 (this might be late 2009, but it is pretty dope, two super wack songs hold it from climbing higher)
A. Levy - Crashed Hard Drive* - 3 (Decent stuff here, but too long and unfocused)



*Means free mixtape/album, hit me up if you'd like a link.


My Scale Explained:

Below 3: Pretty much forgettable and not worth peeping.
3 - 3.5: Good to Pretty Good stuff, recommended if you like the artist or the certain style)
3.5-4: Pretty Good to Great, stronger recommendation, should definitely peep if you like the artist or style)
4.0-5.0: These are great to classic albums and anything in this range I'd recommend to anyone to at least give it a spin.

**all ratings are based on my personal replay value.

What about re-issues? I'm copping Mac Lethal's 11:11 (OG Version) sometime soon and even though it was recorded in 04 and shelved in 06 it was released this year. Does that count?

we count EPs... and albums that were originally released this year... meaning not re-releases... but unreleased or shelved albums who see their first pressing this year count...

updated my list

I need to hit up that melatonin magik... I assume it is just on your list as a default right slang?

yea those are the only 3 albums ive peeped this year so far...besides the Bone Fixtape (but im not counting that). The Canibus album is pretty good i haven't spun it enough yet though

Fixtape came out in December didn't it?

I would probably have Stoney Jackson outside of my top 25... not feeling that one as much.

hmm it probably did come out in December, and i dont know how your not feelin that SAS

Cause I got the best taste on this forum according to your awards....


SAS is solid... nothing I see myself spinning a lot a year from now.

Fixtape came out Xmas day.

Updated mines. Thinking about copping Madlib "Medicine Show No. 2: Flight To Brazil" next. Looks like Madlib is determine to make this year his year and is going all out.

Updated my non-Hiphop list. Still waiting for more worthy Hip-Hop for that list.

How would you rate the Johnny Cash?

I haven't listened to it enough to have solid rating for it, but I can say that it definitely stands well alongside the other American recordings, it doesn't sound like inferior cast-offs from those albums. It is shorter, at only about half an hour, but the songs are all fitting for Cash, and there is a visceral feeling of his impending death when he recorded them.

March 16th Khan! The Me Generation drops, not loving the first single 1 Flight, but this should still be a must have.

I'm late but i finally got my copy of "Stoney Jackson" in the mail and after the 1st spin i am very impressed. Production is great. My "Stimulus Package" should be here in the next couple of days i would think. I'm expecting even more from it.

Stoney Jackson is bangin, and giving the best recs according to some DOES NOT equal having the best taste.

I can't fucking wait for Celph Titled/Buckwild-19NinetyNow! This year is going to be bomb, just like last year .

Updated my list...

been out of the loop for a couple days but Celph Titled and Buckwild are making an album together?

That album has been talked about for like 3 years, but Celph is actually done recording and mixing the record. It will DEFINITELY be out this summer. Celph has never given a release date for it because he said he didn't want to fuck with his fans like so many underground artists do. I would expect it in august sometime. Truthfully, Buckwild is a really dope producer, but I wonder how well Celph is goin to mix with his style. I'd almost rather see a Celph solo record produced by himself but this should be just as dope (hopefully doper, but we'll see).

Ya'll motherfuckers are slacking, seriously.

Updated my Hip-Hop list to include B. Dolan. I'm gonna change the other list as well, to include The Tallest Man On Earth, Gorillaz, and Young Jazz Rebels (Madlib), but I have to figure out where it all goes.

Yo Jason, let me know what you think of the Gorillaz. Thinking about copping it the first day it's release.

Updated my list with 100 Proof and Stimulus Package.

Might check out B. Dolan if it has two cosigns.

How was that Sandman mixtape?

And what you think of Kyle Lucas? I dug it.

Updated my non-Hiphop list. As for the Gorillaz album, it's very good, but it might be a little harder to get into than their other albums. There's a lot of interesting stuff going on with the music, and the guests do their job, but it doesn't jump out at you as much.

Jason, you really have that Blu LP above B. Dolan? Or are you just adding them as you listen?

The B. Dolan album is good, but I start to tire of the style by the time I'm nearing the end of the album, whereas the Blu album has better variety and works better as a straight through listen for me (once I got past the poor sound quality), and that's despite probably being at least 20 minutes longer. I definitely see myself getting more listens out of Blu. So, that's why Blu is higher.

Finally got my "Stimulus Package" this morning in the mail.

First off, let me just say that while the packaging was a nice little marketing idea, i don't like it at all. I'd much rather have a regular cd case. That being said, the album is straight fire. I'm not dissapointed at all.

I've only heard 2 albums this year. I still plan on checking that Statik Selektah and i'm waiting on alot of stuff to come out.

I like this idea cuz it shows how little new hip hop everybody else on the forum listens to. SMH @ YA'LL.

Y'all*

My list has been updated.

Updated mine. You really liking that Luda that much Terry?
