The fact that GKMC is smothered in the middle of those awful albums almost makes me question just how good it is, but luckily I feel pretty secure.

[Discotheque]

Lol my bad Irish shoulda said Raekwon beat, got my wus mixed up

 

[wenis]

Reading these list I got to admit 2012 was a really good hip hop year.

its true. the hiphop gods truly blessed us this year. praise be.

 

[CRS]

Voting is closed. I'll get around to the total soon.

 

[ZaCH3000]

I've far removed myself from the Hip Hop scene since it was populated with the "brag about your wealth" generation of artists as I call them.

However, I'm going to give a listen to Kendrick Lamar's, GKMC since its appearing number one in the majority of lists.

What other albums are comparable?

 

[Bishman]

Stanning good shit tho... sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[The Return of]

damn, SC's list is nice - i forgot Odd & Substantial both, good calls

His list is basically, 10 Reasons why F&L2 shouldn't be in your top 10.

Ab-Soul and Killer Mike are definitely worth checking out.
