Was going to make a thread about this a while ago.

Easily the best rap album of the year so far.

"Stay sharp as broken glass, get busted on a smash/ When your ass cross paths with this half of the 'Kast."

[Jumpin' Jack Flash]

6/10

[Forsaken]

Listened to it awhile back, it's pretty solid. Tangerine and The Train pt 2 are my fav tracks.

[Estranged Reality]

Definitely going to be on lots of year-end best-of lists.

I've got a general question about hip hop, why does it seem all of the albums are really long? I personally prefer nice, short 35-45 minute albums since they seem to be the ones with least amounts of filler, but mostly all of the hip hop albums I've listened to are quite a bit longer and have a few filler songs usually. Look at this one. Look at like every Eminem album. Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. The Blueprint and The Blueprint 2. All of OutKast's albums. N.W.A.'s second studio album. I feel like most of these albums would've benefitted with a few cut tracks.

It's really the reason why Illmatic is like the perfect hip hop album for me. All killer, no filler.

EDIT: I like pretty much every album I listed, by the way, but just a problem with me for all of them.

Rap is just not my thing. There are some good songs here and there, but that is it.

[metatron]

I thought this was going to be a sunny diss thread. Anyways, that album truly is remarkable. Big Boi's best work ever, whether it be solo or with outkast.

[Jackie Moon]

DAYAM!

, whether it be solo or with outkast.

It is really good. I love "Shine Blockas".

[inthisriver]

God, I was shit faced when I made this thread. Listening again, it's only been out a few months and I almost forgot how good it was.

shine blockas

fo yo sorrows

shutterbug

and daddy fat sax

... are probably my favorites. Solid album all the way through, which is pretty rare for me to feel that way when I listen to hip hop. My only complaint are the tacky interludes and sketches, lol.

[chevelle]

Love this fucking album.

[Shuffle]

Great album. I prefer The Roots' How I Got Over in the "best hip-hop album of 2010" contest but this is really good...so many great tracks.
