Got round to that new Ab-Soul today. So much better than Longterm Mentality (and I'm a big fan of that) imo. Track with Danny Brown is dope.

Haven't got round to that Killer Mike either yet. So far behind already this year.

**Ben** · 06-24-2012, 06:51 AM

Nearly past the half-way mark of the year, so AOTY so far?

Habits & Contradictions for me. I'm still playing that once or twice a week, straight fire. There He Go is one of my favourite songs of the year. I'd probably go with Ab-Soul's at number 2 as well. Black Hippy are so dope.

Not really getting the Killer Mike hype. It's not bad, but I've seen people calling it amazing, meh.

Ab-Soul's album was kinda wack to me.

There He Go is one of my favorite songs off the album as well. Chiefin like a mother****in seminole!

What didn't you like?

Kidd · 06-24-2012, 07:02 AM

the whole thing, Ab-Soul is boring to me. I liked the black hippy remix at the end though.

**Ben** · 06-24-2012, 07:04 AM

I can see why people don't like him. It took me a few spins.

UD40 · 06-24-2012, 08:09 AM

Killer Mike & El-P-R.A.P Music
Clear Soul Forces-(d)Etroit Revolutions
Currensy-The Stoned Immaculate
XV-Popular Culture
Big K.R.I.T-4 Eva N A Day
Jon Hope-A Work In Progress

All have been the stand outs for me.

**Ben** · 06-24-2012, 08:53 AM

Forgot about that Clear Soul Forces you/Dale put me on, that was real dope. I still haven't got round to XV's yet.

Who's Jon Hope? Who would you compare him to?

I like it more than whatever last year's album of the year was, but it's still behind My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy for me.

Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music
El-P - Cancer 4 Cure

Charity Starts at Home, Section.80, Undun and Watch The Throne are all better off the top of my head. But as I said, I'm not a fan of it.

ATLien · 06-24-2012, 03:44 PM

Yeah, I was thinking Section.80 or Return of 4Eva is arguable. I don't **** with Little Brother, and wouldn't put Watch the Throne ahead of R.A.P. Music

**Ben** · 06-24-2012, 03:53 PM

Not Undun?

We all know how much I stan for Ye/Jay/The Throne so I'm biased on the last one.

This. And no. 2 (Ab Soul) ain't even close.

EDIT: Undun was 2012? Then it's that. The Roots have been LBJ-type dominant lately.

Nah, Undun was 2011. We were discussing RAP Music vs. 2011 albums.
