Just an idea, but instead of waiting til December to determine which albums the Coli messes with heavy, how about we keep a running status update on them as the year progresses. That way, the work that was released earlier in the year won't be forgotten by the time December rolls around.

This thread can also be used to put people on to albums that they may not have heard. Only chime in for the albums that you've heard so far and mention the stuff that you may not have gotten around to listening yet. I'll admit this list will be evolving and change as some music grows over time and some music gets weaker over time... and I haven't heard every single album/project released, but if enough people have high enough praise for something, that may persuade me to check it out.

:ehh:

So far...
My top projects are:

Tetsuo & Youth - Lupe Fiasco
To Pimp a Butterfly - Kendrick Lamar
Dark Sky Paradise - Big Sean
Album About Nothing - Wale
Summertime 06 - Vince Staples



:manny:


Anticipated Artist's Albums:

Kanye West
Kendrick Lamar

Wale

BHP2: NAACP - Cyhi da Prynce
The Ecology - Fashawn
If You're Reading This It's Too Late - Drake

I haven't heard Joey Badass' album and I'm still taking in this Ghostface joint, but from what I've heard so far, that's what I got. I doubt a mixtape can be deemed as 'AOTY' but I wanted to mention some because I think they need to be recognized... especially that Cyhi project.

I've only heard Joey lupe and Sean. They are all 8+/10

I need to check for Fashawn though. That was my boy back in the day.

I think it'll be dope keeping track of this. I'm thinking about just revisiting all the albums that I mention every 2 months along with the new stuff that drops within that span.

Kenn Starr "Square One'' is AOTY for me so far
:ohhh:

Last time I checked out this dude's music was years ago with that Starr Status record he dropped.

EDIT: I just looked when that dropped. 2006 :damn:

I like the Joey Bada$$ album way more than I thought I would. Lupe album fizzled big time.

Kenn Starr album been getting burn. Haven't heard Sour Soul or Ecology yet. CD's should be here tomorrow.


The Droog tape is fire.
