2010 GOON POLL results: The Top 30 Hip-Hop/Rap Albums of 2010

we didn't exclude ppl like zvookster or tpp that just started posting this year so that me, rev, deej, whiney & ship could come and school you guys on what rap to listen to

26. Travis Porter - Proud 2 Be A Problem

I forgot that. Good tape.

<3 travie

icey, bc whiney is rockist

i'm totally cool w/ this thread as a longtime rolling rap lurker but i think you may have given a bad impression in the first post by calling it 'secret' and 'off-site' and such. i kinda just assumed that anyone who wanted a ballot and has actually heard 30+ albums/tapes from 2010 could have asked in the rolling thread

25. Raekwon - Cocainism Vol. 2

# of votes & pts isnt metadata its "data" rite

i must check out the travis porter tape - i think i ignored the name whenever i saw it in the year, because possibly i was confusing them with travis mccoy, but i d/led "make it rain" thanks to someone's EOY list and it's pretty banging

Also, come on, use the real covers.

24. Starlito - Renaissance Gangster

i have heard at least 3+ rap albums this year and i was not offered a ballot frankly!

you guys should make a final call on the goofy pictures because i was so happy when i came up with that idea

do the goofy pictures, anyone can use gis to grab the real pictures if they really feel the need

i vote for proper pictures, soz

I vote for pictures of Goofy

gfy pix

<3 travis porter, starlito + the AG

fwiw i was incensed when i didn't see you on the initial list of voters and recommended you be contacted, don't know if they tried after that or not though

Glad AG made it. Heard that right before voting and didn't feel comfortable voting for it off one listen but it's really good.

it is really good

shots fired

hell yeah

secrete-ly checking this thread in a v. important meeting - what being a goon is all about

lol

re ag yep it is a model for now irrelevant old guys, kind of a new sort of record almost

i voted for it i think

doing work but this is a classic in the making

i'm gonna just come back later

22. Fat Joe - The Darkside Vol 1

btw

ppl ask all the time -- it happened a few times in the EOY mag list thread & there was a whole separate thread -- asking what the good rap from this past year was

that was also one of the motivations behind doing this poll

cover of the year btw:

talking of old guys with two-letter stage names, did AZ have a mixtape last year btw? i only heard "feel my pain"

i like angry middle-aged guy rap

i should really have checked the fat joe album out given how much i loved "slow down son", though i've been strictly singles-only for his entire career and it would've felt odd changing that

that AG cover is srt8 chillwave

21. Gucci Mane - Jewelry Selection

j0rdan, starlito is kind of clever and funny and emotional and has a nice way with melody and often does it all like an easy freestyle lazy drawl. check the utube for instance - i didn't vote for it in the end but there are really some jams on that tape imo

dude just kind of mumbles aimlessly imo

20. NhT Boyz - Power Triangle Vol. 1

wow

might move on to gifs from here

so far nothing i voted for has made it but that's pretty crazy that NHT Boyz is on here. dope

I need to go back to that. I listened to it once and it was dope but it kinda slipped off my radar.

Hmmm, just realized none of my votes have shown either.
