2011 A Damn Good Year!

This has been a dope consistant ass year for rap so far. Thats all!

LOL, it is a good year indeed. You know there's some people who will never be happy, but it's hard to complain about this year. I got quite a few albums at least 4.25 stars(some even higher).

While I agree, no year is ever going to be like 1988 or 1994 or 1492 when columbus sailed the ocean blue. There were just so many thousands of millions of 5 star classics in those years.

I'm already more excited about albums that have dropped in the first four months of 2011 than I was by shit that dropped all year in 2010.

I also concur. If nothing else good came out this year, I'd still be pretty happy listening to W.A.R., R4, Oneirology, The Family Sign, Gutter Rainbows and Return to the Winner's Circle for a long while. I haven't even checked out what else is coming this year except Pilot Talk 3.

Is Muscle Car Chronicles not gonna drop this year?

Hmmm, I'm usually praising the years as they come as well, but I haven't found a single album I really like this year yet.

I've only heard under 10 albums or so this year, and all have either been disappointing or underwhelming to me. A couple 4 star albums, but nothing I'd consistently spin over the years. Except for Big Jess' free albums....which I don't think many take seriously (enough).

I've heard one of those Big Jess' albums... it was actually pretty good... gonna find time to spin the other one soon.

Glad to hear it, SRP. My only slight complaint is that I wish it was mastered a bit better. A small complaint, cause I do like them a lot...

I don't know what I'm really missing this year that people are so hype about. I guess some of these bigger names dropping albums don't excite me much...at least not yet. Shit, even every underground album I've bought lately has been weak or mediocre. Call me disappointed....

eh, I like this year just as much as I've liked most recent years, I think some people may be broadening their horizon more this year (like peeping free albums/mixtapes more) and the sort. I don't think I've been blown away by anything this year just yet, but have been happy with the CDs I have peeped for the most part.

Yeah this is shaping up to be much like 2010 for me. Unless Vakill's and on the non hip hop side of things Jesu's new albums are really dope. I have some hope for those two.

I thought last year was much better by this point. Monche, FAB, CL, and Saigon are the only really standouts so far. E-40 dropped some dope, too.

Once Blue Scholars "Cinemetropolis" drops, it's over....2011>>>>>>>>>2010

Living in Seattle on and off for the last few months has made me realize why they are the way they are...nothing but starbucks, organic farmer's markets, and hippies in that city.

Have you turned back the other way and stopped to eat at Dicks on Broadway yet, hahahahahaha.

Is it really on Broadway or a side street, I really have no idea...never been to the emerald city, just like the song.

Also, they don't sell the CDs at Starbucks, fools. They sold them at Cafe Vera, and it was only for the Oof EP....son of a batches!

Yep, Broadway. The cover of Jake One "White Van Music" actually has the Dicks in the background.

You have to be a local to find that, doesn't look like you can see the sign from the street very well.

Yeah, it's a small shack. Great, greasy, killing your life slowly food though...lol

slowly? quickly... I passed by the Broadway one but it's always full of skinny rich hipsters so I eat at the one on queen anne, closer to the apt...not bad, not really all that cheap anymore either...
