Alch not making Producer of the Year is kinda boo-boo.
Yeah, and thats unfortunate because I loved it soooooo much when it first came out. Still play Sea Legs often.
too many low profile projects

No one really ran away with it this year. I would give it to Danny too

I really enjoyed Delusional Thomas
YC The Cynic GNK, or pretty much any album in the top five of my Rapups.
Zeus Molecules
illegal immigrants are stealing our air
I prefer the term "grown man swag"
Blasphemy.....complete utter blaspheny
People have come around on Mac Miller it seems. I haven't heard anything in years from him (literally the last song I heard by him was Snapback). I'll check this out.
Ooh, forgot about the rapups. I'll go back and pick some stuff up.
Owl Pharoah by Travi$ Scott
Flying Colours by Shad
This is why I'm saying we should do like a top 30 or 50 essential albums list. Gaf-hop could come together and populate a quality list of that size, between major labels and indies there's enough content for it, and it would be a great resource. These top ten lists are just empty popularity contests. It could be like Des's quarterly shit but for the full year and backed up by all of us.
We tried this, sorta. Mixed results.
Any classics or essentials list you find out there on these blogs or sites have bias, it's hard to avoid or to control for, and inevitably trying to be fair ends up screwing another artist over from inclusion.

My laziness strikes again and I didn't vote. List seems alright, even the stuff I enjoyed last year I was pretty eh on. Probably would have had Old at the top so that wouldn't really have changed anything. Weed carrier-less ESGN would have been my AOTY easy
It does. He doesn't really get a lot of love from GAF-Hop, which is understandable. I like him, but I'm definitely not shocked he's out of the top 10.
You guys should check out the thread in community. Could always use more questions and discussions brought in.

really am blaming myself for not voting this year, just got caught up recently & didn't hear all the stuff i wanted or revisit the early year stuff to see how i felt.
i know we (rightfully) are gonna keep bitching about this, but enzoes kinda pointed out how skewed the small sample group makes shit, and with the manic stannery in some of the OT em threads last year we're kinda lucky it didn't rate higher, honestly
yes

I should probably have voted to further piss you all off but I don't do votes/lists, and the more people vote the more relevant the data seems. Not that you won't keep going at each other's throats over this shit anyway.

The first mainstream rapper in years with something to say.
Yeah, true.
Phire, I'm pretty sure you always make that joke when it's necessary. Kills me.

25 bucks was enough to make OLD rap album of the year. it came out soon after my mom died and it perfectly described the life of having a mother that is always there trying her best, and a father who is in and out of jail.
25 bucks is my sotg.

The first verse of The Night's Gambit starts with:
Left behind my childish ways...... deal in adult matters-
-For petty pay, work every day like there's no Sabbath/
That's the album in a nutshell. No nonsense grown man grime rap backed by sparse hard edged atmospheric production. It's not for everyone, but it's an amazing album.
Aside from that and OLD (which I ranked way lower), I'm not seeing eye to eye with that top 10 at all, but that's okay because I know it was a great year. Hell, I'm still discovering projects like Oddisee's Tangible Dream that would've probably found a spot in my list had I heard it before the voting period ended.

Haha. Maybe he's trying to shake that juinor label.
Man, all these people are ripe GAF-Hop prey. Gotta make it to the OT! :[

2013 was ass. 2014 is going to be solid.
Naw Rap Album One would definitely be in my top twenty, and Cassette 3 also. GREAT releases, with a few flaws.
you guys act like it would be a better list with these albums..
Thank you.
