Listen, I like Kid Cudi too, but anyone that has any of his albums on their "top" lists has to be joking with themselves, right?

Of the year? Uh, nothing wrong with that.

Anything other than his first few mixtapes and first album is **** to me. When he started singing and doing more rock was when he lost me.

My list will be up soon.

In no specific order

Kendrick Lamar Section 80 has to be probably my most plays on my itunes
Murs Love & Rockets Vol 1 - Love this almost every song on there is amazing.
The Roots Undun - classic
Jay Z & Kanye Watch the Throne
The Weeknd - House of Balloons
A$AP Rocky - Live Love A$AP
Blu & Exile - Give me my flowers while I can smell them - recorded back in 09 but released about 4 days ago and I love the whole album.
Mellowhype – BlackenedWhite
School boy Q - Setbacks

I forgot to mention: Waves by Moving Mountains is another I loved from this year, for those who are into indie rock, as well as The Color Spectrum by The Dear Hunter.

It's not their best work but Endgame was probably my favourite album of the year.

I don't see why, Man on the Moon II was a disappointment but I still rocked the **** out of it.

That and none of his music has any real sticking power. Not like his earlier music, they're simply lacking lyrically, in comparison to his earlier recording. To me it seems like he got big and then stopped putting the effort in that got him big.

Just listened to Section.80 for the first time, and I definitely am adding it to favorite of the year. This **** bangs.

this feels about right

1. Kendrick Lamar- Section.80
2. The Roots- Undun
3. Big Krit- ReturnOf4Eva
4. Jayz/Kanye- Watch the Throne
5. Frank Ocean- Nostalgia, Ultra
6. Evidence- Cats & Dogs
7. Phonte- Charity Starts at Home
8. Raekwon- Shaolin vs. Wu Tang
9. The Weeknd- House of Balloons
10. REKS- Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme

EDIT: Forgot Joell Ortiz- Free Agent, but it belongs somewhere in there.

Good call on Cats & Dogs, I forgot about that one. Almost anything from Rhymesayers turns out dope.
