slaughter house? 2chainz? what a shytty list.

 

[Asdfhhklpiyrewss]

they got the top 2 right

 

[OG Talk]

Slaughterhouse put out a better album than Killer Mike in 2012?


Interesting...

 

[DanielAlfredsson]

A few I don't agree with (Meek, Killer Mike, and El-P should be way higher) but for the most part it's good. Props to TDE for an amazing year.

 

[THE K-MAN]

RELOADED is too damn low

 

[Versa]

LOL @ Jesus Piece, Cruel Summer, Welcome to Our House and Live From The Underground ahead of F&L II

Jesus Piece @ #3

 

[JoelB]

*only checked to see where Life Is Good landed*

Great thread. 5 stars/Daps

finally one of these pulications gets the balls to put Nas at the top. i like GKMC but they are using that album to disrespect Nas in certain lists in my opinion. Kendrick is good but he's a new jack, how can a new jack defeat Nas on Nas own territory. I guess Kandrick is the shiny new toy critics like to play with, Kendrick is dope though, and its a great album, its in my top 3, but the album aint perfect. the best songs on Life is Good are better than the best songs on GKMC.

 

[Jx2]

Ka nor Roc Marciano are on this list, I can't take it seriously...

I see they have Cruel Summer though

 

[cornercommission2k12]

Life is good is the best albun of the year and I'm glad they acknowledged that

 

[Jeffrey Lebowski]

jesus piece at #3 is certainly a surprise...

 

[L. Deezy]

now that the Kendrick hype is not all in my face.. Imma sit down and finally listen to it..

.Not sure if you been looking at other hiphop album lists for the end of the year, but Life Is Good is pretty much number one on them all.
