Classic LL. That "Ratchet" track was off, but this is him in his zone.

Joey Bada$$ - 1999 - this is the sh*t

This kid is damn intelligent. 17 years old not finished school and I am the one that has to go on rap genius to understand him lool.

by Rebaño Sagrado Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:05 am

I just downloaded 1999 two days ago lmao

Love his flow

Like most people I was expecting better than section 80, but I'm finally starting to appreciate it

enjoy

It's good but I like the Live Love mixtape better I think. The album needed more Clams Casino. Production overall is very good, but I miss tracks like Palace, Bass and Wassup.

goes hard though

by dmize Sat Dec 22, 2012 12:45 am

If you love 1999, check out his Rejex mixtape after. Not as good but worth checking out.

by EarlyPrototype Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:12 am

I'll check it out.

Half way through 'Royalty'. Bino doing better than I thought he would.

G.K.M.C my album of the year.

by El Gunner Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:14 am

Love K.Dot's verse on A.S.A.P. Rocky's F*ckin' Problem.

Damn he went on hardddd. My fav new punchline: "She eyeing me like a nigga don't exist. GIRL, I KNOW YOU WANT THIS DICK!"

by dmize Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:19 am

yeah, it's basically the end of the year, so...

imo
Album of the year: GKMC, LIG, Jesus Piece are top 3 for me. I just can't figure out an order yet. Probably in that order though^.

Song of the year: Hip Hop Nas ft Scarface, Premo

that one I'm sure on ^

HM: K.Dot & Jay Rock - Money Trees

by El Gunner Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:21 am

Yep! GKMC is hands down album of the year, imo.

by Rebaño Sagrado Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:27 am

Anyone heard Big Boi's new album?

About to download it

by dmize Sat Dec 22, 2012 1:43 am

I've heard Big Bois album is pretty good, but haven't listened myself.

Also T.I. just dropped his album, which I d/l'd but haven't listened to. Only reason I even got it is off the strength of the two singles he put out(go get it and trap back jumpin), which are kinda reminiscent of the old T.I. Plus it's getting decent reviews.

And speaking of Joey Bada$$, just saw this leaked about 3 hours ago:

Troubled Man is easily becoming one of my favourites of the year.

by M99 Sat Dec 22, 2012 7:24 pm

RIP, at least he didnt take anyone else with them like the rest of the cowards out there today.

by adnyana179 Tue Dec 25, 2012 11:33 am

My top 5 for 2012:

LIG
GKMC
Trophies
REBELutionary
Jesus Piece

Biggest disappointments: Welcome To Our House, This Time

by adnyana179 Tue Dec 25, 2012 11:34 am

RIP. He had so much great music ahead of him; a real tragedy.

"1999" is definitely up there for MOTY. Much harder to narrow down a list, but I'll try and get one up.

^^ One of the smoothest tracks of 2012 IMO.

by Ali Tue Dec 25, 2012 12:02 pm

I'm going to have to say GKMC, incredible.

Thinking over albums bought this year, a good few others worth mentioning if you didn't have already (excl. ones discussed recently):

Sean Price - "Mic Tyson"
Big K.R.I.T. - "Live From The Underground" (highly anticipated - didn't disappoint for me)
Freeway - "Diamond in the Ruff"
REKS - "Straight, No Chaser" (not as good as "REBELutionary", but still a good drop)
Smoke DZA - "Rugby Thompson" (Harry Fraud really delivers)
Alchemist - "Russian Roulette"
G.O.O.D Music - "Cruel Summer"
9th Wonder / Murs - "The Final Adventure" (great end to the trilogy) (also "The Solution" w/ Buckshot)
Styles P - "World's Most Hardest MC Project" (business as usual for the Ghost)
Chino XL - "RICANstruction" (very close to my top 5)
Ab-Soul - "Control System"
Schoolboy Q - "Habits & Contradictions"
Curren$y - "The Stoned Immaculate"
Lupe Fiasco - "Food & Liquor II"
Killer Mike - "R.A.P. Music"
Masta Ace / MF Doom - "Son of Yvonne"
Large Professor - "Professor at Large"
Ski Beatz - "Twilight" (track from C Plus is one of my favs this year)
DJ Premier / Bumpy Knuckles - "Kolexxxion"
Saigon - "Greatest Story Never Told 2" (Not as good as the original, but a solid follow up)
Skyzoo - "A Dream Deferred" (one of the most played in the last 2/3 months since release)

------------

EDIT: another dissappointment this year was Prodigy's "HNIC 3". Complete garbage. I've lowered my expectations of P over the years, but I still thought he could do better.
