2010 GOON POLL results: The Top 30 Hip-Hop/Rap Albums of 2010

roachy balboa is a really exciting tape, another one that feels like something new, like cohesive and aggressively lyrical but totally zany and fun and pop i guess?

10. Tyler, The Creator - Bastard

consistent's the wrong word, they're just topical where respect it & goomba are more train-of-thought type ish

going back to roachy balboa now and it's way more exciting than i remember - these beats are kind of nuts and he's just rampant on them

(those are xps to my other post -- the tape itself is super consistent)

yeah, like i have no idea why he would go back to normal beats after a whole album of bonkers ones

not sure how goomba isn't topical?

I think the thing I am most furious about right now is that I've only checked out two things on this list and I've loved them both, completely throwing into disarray my baseline assumption that I hate modern hip-hop.

(the other being "Respect It")

not sure how goomba isn't topical?

its a story track that goes all over the place & doesnt like have a 'point'
theres nothing necessarily wrong w/ that -- its just that the more focused ones grew to become my faovrite

i didn't know roach gigz was nicaraguan!

trying to find the backstory that would match the pic for bastard

"goomba pimpin" could be described, technically, as gas

someone link DJP to the LIGHTWEIGHT JAMMIN thread & we may have converted him to full autogoon lol

okay I am kind of hating "Goomba Pimpin", my place in the universe has been restored

lol never mind xp

check out "pop off" dan i think you'd like!

somehow didn't notice "respect it" was a "paper planes" sample until now

i was gonna ask what that was, ugh

magic gas - nice vid!!

9. Roc Marciano - Marcberg

should be higher imo, maybe too trad for a lot of tastes?

love individual tracks on this a lot, have a lot of trouble listening to more than a few in a row personally, but its all pretty good

i d/led that the other day but still haven't listened

i guess top ten is p good

excited that this means french montana must be top ten

yes "pop Off" is pretty great

I think there's a certain momentum level in modern rap needs to attain otherwise it's like kryptonite to me; possibly I can blame my "faster FASTER" rave/jungle/dnb years on this since a lot of these tracks reappropriate a lot of the same sonic palette so I expect way more aggressive energy and a faster tempo in the beats than I'm going to get.

never really got into it

lol @ french montana. how things have changed

i love how french montana has the first guest verse on FLockaveli and ends it with I'm a shooter like Chris Paul"

did that sound like it was gonna rhyme with anything when he wrote it down?

his tape has some jams for real though -- check 'money weed blow' & the song w/ fat joe

pretty sure i know 8 things that are much more assured of spots than french montana but i'm not going to spoil them.

on 'money weed blow' he has some line about 'blood on ya mink' this hits really smoothly for some reason i cant quite articulate yet

lol the post abt french montana was a joke

its a for real good record tho

unevenly good, but occasionally great

yeah i fuck with coke boyz

Prenuptial Agreement should have been way higher
