So what are your "top 5 hip hop albums of the year"

[CrossedBullet]

1. Eminem - Recovery

Why: I can listen to practically any song on this album and not have to skip it. It's not as good as The Eminem Show, but, it's as good as it was going to be. I can tell Em put a lot of work into this album. Plus, it's fucking Eminem and he's my favorite rapper
Favorite song: 25 To Life

2. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Why: Although lyrically it's nothing special, Kanye crafted a sonically supurb album. Kanye encourages the haters, which I respect greatly. Kanye took the term "artist" to another level and it's certainly a classic by 2010 standards, which aren't very high...But, I can listen to almost every song, just exclude Devil In A New Dress
Favorite songs: Dark Fantasy, Monster, Blame Game

3. Kid Cudi - Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager

Why: Kid Cudi usually always makes good music. He is different from the crowd, and he created a very atmospheric album. He may not be the best lyricist, but his smooth flow and his honesty are what set him apart from the crowd.
Favorite song: Scott Mescudi vs. The World

4. B.o.B - The Adventures of Bobby Ray

Why: I don't really listen to this album a lot, but when I do I usually enjoy it. It's very different and unique, plus he's a decent enough lyricist. And he plays his own instruments, which is enough of a reason to respect the guy
Favorite song: Don't Let Me Fall

5. T.I. - No Mercy

Why: I know it's not out yet, but I have a feeling I'm gonna like this album a lot. What I've heard so far, I've liked
Favorite song: As of right now, That's All She Wrote

This guy read me mind.

1 . B.O.B. - The Adventures of Bobby Ray

This album leaked around the same time i was taking my driver's license in the beginning of the summer, so this album will always bring up good memories for me.
Don't Let Me Fall is also my favourite song of the year.


2. Eminem - Recovery

I remember hearing Not Afraid and Despicable around the same time Bobby's album leaked and i really liked both songs, and Recovery was really dope.
(It's a shame if they doesn't release Space Bound as a single, the video would be soo f'ing dope.


3. Lloyd Banks - H.F.M.2

Street album that i bump like crazy, Start it up, beamer benz, any girl, where im at, father time,
So many good songs.


4. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

A bit overrated imo, but very good songs on this album like, Runaway, Lost In The World, Dark Fantasy, Monster,

5. Lil Wayne - Rebirth

I really really liked it, call me a retard or whatever but i liked this much better then IANAHB, he should stick to rap, but i liked it for what it was.
Songs i liked, die for you, drop the world, knockout, paradice, runnin, prom queen, american star.

I also really like Hopsin's album RAW, haven't listened enough yet though.

PS. Drakes album is the worst piece of shit i've heard all year, deleted it as soon as i understood it was the same shit over different beats.
