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

breathing room

imo

wanna know who the non-waka voters are

ha i remember "children of the world" being real corny for some reason but maybe i'm misremembering and projecting based on the title

naw it's super-dope

why were currensy records combined?

alright i was wrong that song is the shit

fav krit still either "hometown hero" or "big brother"

why were currensy records combined?

what do results look like if u uncombine?

i have no idea but they're different records arent they? what's the point other than to ensure he gets top 10?

yo i'm such a sucker for rappers spitting a few final bars a cappella at the end of their songs - love how "children" goes out

only reason Pilot Talk 1 & 2 has one shared entry and Mr. Zone 6 & Jewelry Selection don't is the latter don't have similar titles i guess?

this is my favorite roach gigz, but its on roachy balboa 2 that just came out this week, not the one on this list

"Neva Go Back" is another good one off the KRIT album.

I'm kinda sold on Can I Rap

yeah that's definite slap

the non-Waka voters were forks and zvook

didn't vote for waka, kanye or big boi

missed the leaks or release dates and after a few weeks of chatter there was no urgency to hear em somehow and i still haven't hear em except for big boi in other ppl's homes.

i'm a big fan of hard n the paint, o let's do it, fo yo sorrows & shine blockas so will prob be down with those records. otoh the stuff i've heard off the kanye doesn't interest me at all.

i assumed yelawolf was some p4k buzzband on sna

Yela was on 12/15 ballots

I guess I should get that altho I wasn't really getting why everyone what everyone thought was so special about his verse on the Big Boi album

jeesuz fuck that makes less sense than a deej post

I guess I should get that altho I wasn't really getting what everyone thought was so special about his verse on the Big Boi album

maybe just hearing him on a big boi record as opposed to being just some mixtape dude back in jan

I like his verse on the Big Boi album but it's.....different. He's really experimenting with his style there in a way that may or may not be successful in the eye of his beholder. He doesn't usually rap like that tho.

21. Gucci Mane - Jewelry Selection

good tape could've voted for it really but didn't

19. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

goons please

17. Lil B - Red Flame/Blue Flame

both pretty good but 'everything's based' is the one i burnt for my car and the one i listened to most

14. MellowHype - BlackenedWhite

only a couple of good tracks imo

11. Roach Gigz - Roachy Balboa

don't really get roach gigz :(

10. Tyler, The Creator - Bastard

great album but tyler is so annoying on twitter i decided not vote for it

7. Big K.R.I.T. - K.R.I.T. Was Here

liked this but it fell out of rotation pretty quickly - lack of personality?

5. Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty

brilliant album felt bad about not voting for it but honestly didn't listen to it as much as the albums i voted for

3. E-40 - Revenue Retrievin': Day Shift/Revenue Retrievin': Night Shift

i don't like e-40 *ducks*

obv forks was non waka

xp sb

was i the only one who voted for 'trap or die 2'?

sb me all you like but there's just something about e-40's rapping style that puts me off! srsly i've never made it through day shift/night shift i have to turn it off

flopson is like that, really baffling to me i gotta say

lex my first reaction to odd future was similar to yours but earl is just insanely good + this is totally otm:
technical precociousness on some "nas and az were teenagers when they made life's a bitch"

i actually had a huge change of heart re e-40 & revenue retrievin ended up my #2

not entirely unrelated to your & rev's prodding tbh

sad i missed this thread. then again, kind of lame this had to be the thread where lex discovers odd future. where is the original & what happened w that?

obviously aggregates make for flatter & more boring results but this is still a cool list. i hope people listen to that nht boyz tape

flipflopson

haha

nht tape was nice but my 1st exposure was that joint deej posted to autogoon & they never topped that

u mean 6 in tha mornin? couldnt disagree more man there are so many jams i've got a new favourite every week. power triangle is now a classic among my friends. one dude is rly obsessed & told me he listened to it back to back non stop for the entire duration of a 6 hr train ride. so excited to hear what they do next

nah "from there" - agree that power triangle is solid & consistent

I'm out bowling. I'm MR LANE 6

I had a feeling I'd be a very centric voter and that held true. 12 of my 15 votes made it, all of them in the top 17, and I voted for the whole top 8.

Shit i shoulda listened to more but instead just downloaded over the course of the year, spun once or twice and got distracted instead and I tried to jam all this shit again at once over the past week and I really need to listen a few more times to determine if I love it and o I'm going to hell i guess and if you wanna you can put these on my fifteen but i guess they're not really? or they're just on my mind. or something :
ZRo - Heroin
The Roots- How I Got Over
Dave Banner/9th Wonder - Death of a Pop Star
Black Milk - Album of the Year
Freeway/Jake One - Stimulus Package
Cypress Hill - Rise Up

Shit I'm tempted to nominate just to fuck with deej and anyway I DID kinda like it but not enough to have it crack a top ten:
Asher Roth - Seared Foi Gras with Quince and Cranberry

also everything lil b did this year that i heard. but not the albums so much.
