Have we done a top 10 of 2014 thread yet?

[Big Mel]

People say it's been the worst year for rap, ever. Still, I liked quite a few albums.


loose list of my possible top 10-15:

1. Pinata
2. RTJ2
3. Mega-Philosophy
4. Lord Steppington
5. OC & Ray West - Ray's Cafe
6. Diamond D - The Diam Piece
7. Diamond District - March On Washington
8. Ras Kass/Apollo Brown
9. 1978ers
10. Dilated Peoples
11. Homeboy Sandman
12. Black Milk - If There's a Hell Below
13. Meyhem Lauren & Buckwild
14. possibly the new Wu (still digesting it)
15. NehruvianDOOM
16. DJ Quik


I also rocked with ScHoolboy Q & Ab Soul but I'm staunchly against allowing young people onto my rap lists.

and Ka 1200 BC is as good as anything this year but it's only 12 minutes long.

hip hop lost and rap music lost :besmartson:

Hell motherfukkin' no. YG was one of the hardest listens of the year for me. Didn't bother with the Octaroon's record...

damn. see i just got the album like a week ago. gave it 3 spins and loved it but the damn Wu Tang anticipation kinda overshadowed it. That's why i say loosely. Hav's joint is fire.

Your Old Droog is actually one of the best of the year but I can't teach myself to truly give non physical releases a fair nod

 

[Kyree]

Where is Cilvia Demo brehs.

 

[Existential]

This reminds me... what happened to that guy who would always do a yearly "rap up" of every major event? It was like a tradition, then I stopped hearing about him... does he still do that anymore? Did they just get worse over time? What was his name?
