Shit's hotting up right now! There's a clear leader based on some email votes and some serious wild cards in the top five too...

If I had to pick it'd be OB4CL2, but I don't get to vote. ;D

Feel free to crucify me. I've listened to all the albums mentioned already, but I have to say Jay Z - Blueprint 3. Ecstatic is a close second.

Co-sign that statement, Igqabhukil' inyongo gets my vote aswell
RR, will hook you up, I have it.

Post by: 1kind on December 09, 2009, 12:28:50 AM
The last kiss had only 5 good songs. But Jadakiss and his predictable flow gets tiring after a few listens.

Igqabukile Inyongo is definitely a contender for the home-grown albums. However i also enjoyed Ill-skill's 'Off the Radar'. Seeing that i cannot compare these albums...I would nominate both of them.
Title: Re: Album of the year
Post by: Killa Merc on December 09, 2009, 12:33:00 AM
Other notables
Last Kiss - Jada
Rick ross - deeper than rap
method and red - Blackout 2



But OBFCL 2 is miles ahead of most albums and should be the albums of the year.
Crossing my fingers for the Tumi and Pro Kid albums to be good.
Title: Re: Album of the year
Post by: rob_one on December 11, 2009, 11:48:20 AM
Just over a week to go.

The Top 10 is starting to coalesce. Some albums which started off strong have fallen back, and some early hopefuls have gathered seriously strong leads.

There are at least two MAJOR surprises in the Top 10 so far - and two South African rap albums that could go all the way.

If you haven't called it yet, let a brother know!
