Has any body heard this AKA album yet?

Tumi's POWAMixtape gets spun regularly round here. It's too nice. But why you gotta put him in the album section too?

WHOO...this is gon be a messy one, cos this year, this year was HEAT fam...got so many, dont really know where to start...off the top, you gotta have

"ONEiROLOGY" by CUNNINGLYNGUISTS
"CRACK BELT THEATRE" by PLANET ASIA
"FROM BABYLON to TIMBUK2" by TIMBO KING

and...hmm, what else i been listening to ....il come back  8)

Post by: oints on September 01, 2011, 10:25:47 AM
Action Bronson - Dr Lecter (just for shits & giggles really, not that innovative but i like the way he put a newer twist on a style GHOST FACE brithed)
Akua Naru - a journey aflame (dope emcee out of Africa but based in Germany, shes butta peaking with the bars plus i liked what JR & PH7 did on the beats)
Blaq Poet - Blaq poet Society (not really much of a poet fan, but i really dig his choice of BEATS on this record, it makes his rather stagnant type of raps sound newer)
Beneficence - Sidewalk science (this deserves a mention from me, if anything, cos its TRUE SKOOL & forms part of my foundation)
Royce da 5'9 - Success is certain (i dont think anyone right now is dropping flow like Royce, as much as unique goes, il have to say he's carving out his own niche and flow pattern, although some would argue Eminem patented it)
R.E.K.S - R.E.K.S (one of the best out there right now)
Ill Bill & Vinnie Paz - Heavy metal kings (i think it deserves a mention, they rep the horror core pretty well, although the music reaches satiation pretty quick after the first rotation)
SAN & KRITIK - CLa**IC DIRT (dope & comprehensive record, if i do say so myself)
Pete Rock & Smiff & Wesson - Monumental (this whole year, i dont think anyone has managed to MASTER the SWING like Pete Rock did on this record)

mixtapes:

Little Vic - Apocalypto (no one has raps & flow like Vic, no one, ask his manz Emilio, Skyzoo, Chaundon, Joey Budden and em)
Rapsody - Thank her (shouts to the earth, shes really pulling her weight & proving her worth, id say keep checking for her)
Bambu - Exact Change reloaded (without a doubt, Bam is my favourite emcee for the 2010-2011 timeline)

Folks, is it just me or does the fact that there are still four months left in the year sort of makes the subject of Album of The Year a bit  impetuous?? or at the least, premature?

I bet Dre doesnt really care about rap right now especially after the lack-lustre response to the Kush single. When last did he even produce a track for a mainstream album and I dont mean taking a DJ Khalil beat and slapping his name on top of it!?_

DRE is a rubix cube right now, all i know is, hes more on a talent scouting expedition than he is really on tryna be "the ace"....KHALIL is a beast no doubt, but now, now the mainstream is talking more about ALEX THE KID, cat who produced "i need a doctor" joint...if "detox" ever drops, itl be more of a SPOTLIGHT typa album, showcasing production talent from the new skool than from DRE himself..!

That Kendrick Lamar album/mixtape has been on constant repeat, for at least 2 weeks. Its flawless...
J-Cole has really grown as a producer. That Hiii power joint is just stooopid!

Some worthy mentions, in addition to Big KRIT - Return of 4eva,

Nottz - You Need this music
Mac Miller - Kids
XV - Zero Heroes
Fashawn - Higher Learning 2

I think its been a good year for Hip Hop. Maybe not as many dope drops as we all would like, but there are some young cats coming through that are completely changing the land scape of hip hop right now.

In my personal opinion i think that J-Cole is leading the pack

Wow more stuff to check out! 8)

I need to get Big KRIT and Kendrick Lamars tapes. They have been making a buzz everywhere I go.  Plus Kendrick killed the guests spots on Games R.E.D. album and on Smoke Dzas ROLLING STONED.

I second the Federation nomination. Although my copy says 2010 most of us only heard about this album this year.
Nottz album "You need this music"on the other hand shouldnt be listed because not only did it come out last year it also won album of the year in many polls!

Whats up with Lupe's LASERS? To be honest I havent heard it even though it was very anticipated initially. Does it even deserve the nomination?

^^ Those are mixtapes right? How is the Planet Asia and G Rap?

nah famly, the G RAP is an ALBUM...the GENERAL MONKS joint is an album too, sorry for just tossing em without clarity...the AG is a mixtape....

the K.G.R is HELLA HELLA FLY...and thats with my PIMP TALK...stays true to the concept (PIMPING) which is why i dont think our FEMALE HEADS will really take a liking to it, however, its very well done and the beats complement it well, heavy on the street slangatore...!   8)

"bitch slow your roll...even when hes got his robe on hes cold" (c) Kool Giancana Rap...!

Ok thanks for the corrections. There are a lot of entries that are mixtapes or compilations and I am trying to tag the entries so that I can categorize them later.

I just hope you are adding joints that you have listened to and are worth it yall! I trust you on this one.
