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

guyz i cant really stand e-40's voice either

Don't really want to post my ballot because I forgot two of my favourite releases (The Pack Is Back & Incarcerated would have knocked RAWSE off and I'd look cooler.)

'Lito was my #1. Burn One has to be the best DJ/Producer in the game atm, everything he does is gold. And Starlito is surprisingly tight writer for such a laid back voice. The pair together just *click* and Ren. Gangster is sublime.

I like this list. I find the Waka exhausting and cannot listen to it in 1 go but I totally love like half of it, at least.

2010 seems like a proper turning point creatively. The rise of creative+control type vids, dudes paying more attention to artwork, trying to have direction in their music such as limiting how many producers they'll have on a record to keep the sound on point. New gen got vision. Heres to it continuing in that direction.

A lot of overlap with these results:

Big Boi- Sir Lucious Leftfoot...
Yelawolf- Trunk Muzik
Curren$y- Pilot Talk 2
E-40- Revenue Retreivin'
Nas & Damien Marley- Distant Relatives
Big KRIT- KRIT Wuz Here

Raekwon- Cocainism Vol. 2
Roc Marciano- Marcberg
Kanye West- My...Fantasy
Kno- Death is Silent
The Roots- How I Got Over
J. Stalin- Prenuptial Agreement
Curren$y- Pilot Talk

"My...Fantasy" is my favorite abbrevvi for that album's title since ilxor's "My Beautiful D"

my top 15 was
so ready for 2011

1. Rick Ross - Teflon Don
2. E-40 - Revenue Retrievin

lols aside i'd just like to extend a big thanks to the goons for doing this--v. valuable resource for the rest of us.

opinion -- is the major event rap album over, or just in a standing-eight count?

that was a question i think actually

It seems that there are just different categories of "event albums" now-- the major label hit event (Kanye, Drake, Carter IV), the cross-generational comeback event (Cuban Linx 2, Big Boi, Detox) and now the event mixtape (Kush & OJ.)

The Brainwasher was the only vote for Vado

same here :)

(xpost)

is lex the only one to vote for pink friday?

that was a bit of a "real talk" vote - i was as dismissive as anyone when it came out (not so much disappointed cuz i expected how watered down it'd be - or seem, anyway) - i'm just not going to front on how much i came back to a lot of that album, esp with the bonus tracks, and how GREAT it is when it's good

i mean sure the rah digga album, say, is "better", but at the same time there's nothing on it that's clocking up the last.fm scrobbles a tenth as much as the best stuff on pink friday

My ballot:

E-40 - Revenue Retrievin' Day Shift/Night Shift
Curren$y - Pilot Talk 1 & 2
Drake - Thank Me Later
Waka Flocka Flame - Flockaveli
Rick Ross - Teflon Don
Earl Sweatshirt - Earl
Tyler the Creator - Bastard
Das Racist - Sit Down, Man
Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot
Wiz Khalifa - Kush and Orange Juice
DaVinci - The Day the Turf Stood Still
The Jacka and Laroo - Neva Be the Same
Big K.R.I.T. - K.R.I.T. Wuz Here
Roc Marciano - Marcberg
Diddy-Dirty Money - Last Train to Paris

Only vote for Thank Me Later?

didn't vote but here's my top 15 :

all-star - starlito's way 3
big boi - sir lucious left foot the son of chico dusty
danny brown - the hybrid
davinci - the day the turf stood still
earl sweatshirt - earl
e-40 - revenue retrievin
gucci mane - mr zone 6
lil b - 6 kiss
lil boosie - incarcerated
roc marciano - marcberg
travis porter - proud 2 be a problem
tyler the creator - bastard
waka flocka flame - flockavelli
yelawolf - trunk muzik 0-60

+ cutthroat - the takeova

is that ranked sis?

i tried to listen to danny brown's mixtape before the album and it was boring as fuck tbh

The Gangrene album is another good one I got on too late.

Been bumpin this many times tho:

is that ranked sis?

yes, alphabetically.

I think danny brown's personality is the opposite of boring

gangrene was on a whiney ballot

well it was just a cursory listen, to some of detroit state of mind 4, so u cld be right. i think i'd confused him with someone else in my head and was expecting something diff

na'tee is incredible but that mixtape is an old school definition of a mixtape, im not sure she even really reinvents any songs on it -- shes just a great rapper
looking forward to new shit from her tho
