Official Hip Hop/Rap Music Thread

I'm a h8r so I'll just go ahead and post the worst male and female artists:

Male - Kid Cudi
Female - Nikki Minaj or however you spell her name

I literally become angry when I hear them come on and spit hot garbage. Just the thought is actually agitating me.

I'll put a little positive out there as well.

Best mixtapes of the year:

J. Cole - Friday Night Lights
B.O.B. - No Genre

I wasn't a big fan of many albums this year to be honest. I thought Kanye's album was brutal along with Eminem.

At least you lived up to that title.

Did he put out a lot of other work that was unrelated to the album this year that I missed? I know a large portion of the Good Friday tracks ended up on the album...did I miss others?

I know it's kind of weird and while I dig Ye's album a lot:

1. I really don't like it more than any that I mentioned (it would prob rank 6th or 7th)

2. Good Fridays pretty much ruined the albun for me b/c ALL of the songs I like were leaked before it came out so once I ran them into the ground that was that.

I voted him artist of the year b/c of all the artists I dig, he was the most visible, and he put out/was on the most tracks and he pretty much killed them all.

It really wouldn't have been fair to list anyone else considering most of them only had LPs and not as many features as Ye did.

Good enough explanation for me.

Rookie/Newcomer? Jay hasn't released anything but a handful of singles in like 2 years. He has been around for 4-5 years. How is he a rookie or newcomer?

I've seen a few people say this. He may be a "rising star" but he is anything but a rookie or newcomer.
