It's almost October and Pinata is still AOTY.

[Abstract83]

Pinata is album of the yr so far for me. I don't know what ya talking about.

Step Brothers
Barrel Brothers
Ces Cru
Strangulation
Cyhi The Prince mixtape
Slaughterhouse mixtape
Common
The Roots

A lot of good to decent albums dropped this year so far.

I loved Undun but that last roots album sucked.

Idk when duke is gonna get his plant on and this appears everywhere but King James is AOTY hands down

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

To me Mega Philosophy - Cormega is album of the year, Pinata is dope though.

This board is overrating the shyt out of that album, and overrates the shyt out of Mega in general. Average album by a average rapper with an average career.

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

pinta sucks...gibbs is dope but madlib isnt that good of a beat maker..his beats are boring as fukk..rick ross got aoty so far​

Dude said Madlib isn't that good of a beatmaker. Had to neg at that.

Completely strongly disagree, classic album by a great artist with a superb album resume. P.S: It's not just on the board people are feeling the album.

 

[Yecht]

Mastermind >>>

 

[Yoda]

Mastermind >>>

you wont be playing that bullshyt in 5 years tho

Pinata is as good as it gets so far. Blu dropped some dopeness but is hard to like it right off the bat. same for Roots.
Cormegas shyt lacks that special something.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Yeah I don't expect anything to top it.

Some other good albums this year:

Step Brothers (Alchemist & Evidence) - Lord Steppington
9th Wonder/Jamla - Jamla is the Squad
Mobb Deep - The Infamous Mobb Deep

Cormega - Mega Philosophy

Skyzoo & Torae- Barrel Bros
Rick Ross - Mastermind
Blu - Good to Be Home

I don't even like Freddie Gibbs, but Piñata is waaaay better than Mega Philosophy. That shyt was wack as fukk and I'm a Mega fan.

Mastermind is still my AOTY, but I think Jeezy's new album is prolly goin to be the best album of the year after it drops. Me OK is

Cool, entitled to your opinion but no-one else really thinks that. Pinata 4 mics to me, Mega's album 5. Mega's got much better content for one. Mastermind was terrible to me bar Blessing In Disguise so agree to disagree...

Mega isn't average. He's dope. But you're right about nikkas overrating Mega Philosophy. Large Professor is overrated and borderline wack. His beats on that album were
