Big Ghost Chronicles Presents: The Best Shit Of 2011





Ayo whattup its ya boy Big Ghost aka the mighty Hands of Zeus aka Galaxy Knuckles aka Phantom Ravilois aka Volcano Hands almighty nahmean...otherwise known as the illustrious Cocain Biceps. First off the god wanna apologize for the delay again. My bad. I take responsibility for all that shit. I can accept that namsayin.  This the joint I was plannin to drop at the end of the year...as in 2011 son. But due to various circumstances n whatever whatever that shit got left on the back burner nahmean. I aint gon lie....basically I jus aint do it. But its here now...n even tho its technically a month or two into a whole new year Imma share that wit yall. Here it is...never on schedule but always on time. On my Puffy shit...take that take that take that.


MIXTAPES OF THE YEAR

This shit rite here is the mixtape joints of the year...or I should say...the ones the Hands of Zeus was fuckin wit personally. Cuz summa yall niggas was proudly lettin Tyga n Mac Miller joints ejaculate from ya speakers like it was all good. But yo...this the shit yours truly was feelin. So it dont matter if you agree or disagree nahmean. There was enough mixtapes released last year to give each muthafucka in China they own copy...n wouldn't nobody else have the same one. Thats real talk b.If you got problems wit the shit I selected go write ya own muthafuckin list n put it up on ya fridge n stick some colorful magnets n gold stars on that bitch n show it to ya kids or some shit b. Or type that shit out n holla at igivesafuck.org n see if they wanna post it for you son...or email it to the god at zerofucksgiven@gmail.com n Imma personally not give a fuck bout it for you. Word. Here we go.


20. Boss Of All Bosses 3 - Cam'ron & Vado



If yall aint already kno...that nigga Cam is like the inventor of ignorance b. Or if the credit gotta go to niggas like Schoolly D for inventin it back in the 80s...by the time Killa had that torch he was ready to perfect that shit namsayin. Son deserves a nobel peace prize for ignorance. But yo..I dont kno if it was jus the wack free download link I found for this shit or if it really aint get mixed too good...but the sound quality on this muthafucka makes 36 Chambers sound like Thriller son. Like the shit sounds like it was recorded in he trunk of Drama's car or some shit for some reason namsayin....which kinda made it hard to enjoy like that. I mean cmon son...its 2012. Step that shit up. Especially if you chargin b. But forreal foreal...it aint change the fact that niggas went in on this shit. I fucks wit it.


19. Sorry 4 The Wait - Lil Wayne


After son dropped that Rebirth frisbee where he wanted to convince niggas he could play a muthafuckin guitar good enough to be posin on the cover wit one layin across his torso n shit... niggas jus wanted that mixtape fire back nahmean. On this shit he took joints that I personally wasnt fuckin wit too much like the Racks on Racks shit n the Kreayshawn joint n that Rollin joint by Rozay's dustbunny sidekick/weedcarrier Gunplay n dropped some ignorance over them shits that I could relate to. You also get to hear the worlds most ratchet nigga (Lil B) spit the worlds most ratchet verse over a beat that was originally a song by one of the worlds OTHER most ratchet niggas (Waka Flocka) on Grove St Party. But yo...it is what it is par...niggas who despise Weezy wont appreciate none of this shit....so jus keep it movin. Yall go bump summa that emotional ass Coldplay rap or whatever the fuck you into.


18. Trapper's Alley: Pros & Cons - Boldy James


This shit by my guy Boldy was mad slept on g. Summa yalls might feel like son is glorifyin the drug game or some shit...but he really jus speakin on his experiences son. It aint like he talmbout how he was on the phone wit Pablo Escobar back in the 80s n how he sittin on 4 million bricks rite now n be pushin a different whip for every hour in the day n got 5 city blocks locked down or some other fairy tale bullshit you be hearin in these niggas fantasy bars or whatever. Son even be doin the calculations for you on half these joints n breakin down the math in case you questionin his hustlenomics. Speakin of that shit, its 28 tracks on this muthafucka...which is basically two mixtapes for the (no) price of one. Apparently its a Pros side n a Cons side. But I aint really understand what the difference was between the two sides b. But yo...the shit is poppin either way nahmean.


17. The Real Is Back - Young Jeezy


When it comes to ignorant ass rappers theres only a handful of niggas thats fuckin wit my nigga Snowman namsayin. Word is bond...son is like a whole amusement park of ignorant shit jus waitin to unfold. He been takin voyages to the most darkest n deepest caverns of ignorance for a few years now. Son goes hard in the paint when it comes to that shit rite there nahmean. Son be gettin rebounds n assists n all that shit. He competin at basically the highest levels of ignorance there is son. This that trill shit. This for niggas who lick shots in the air at baby christenings. This for niggas who be doin pull ups on the train n knockin over lamp posts for fun namsayin. This is music for you to genocide to. But yo..when you done wit this joint you gotta play that part II also. Druhhmahhtic nigguhhhhhh!


16. Lincoln Way Nights - Stalley


Sons joint flew mad under the radar but its whatever son. Probably shoulda got lots more attention...but now that son part of that Maybach Music empire he probably gon at least be movin Folarin units by the time its his turn to drop that official joint. Not that the homie Olubowale is known for his wall of plaques n string of hits or nothin. But its better than the 15k downloads son got from Datpiff for all his hard work. Stalley aint the most amazin nigga to bless the mic neither but he gets it in. Plus Im always bout that total package when it comes to rap niggas son (pause). Niggas need to kno how to spit but they should also kno how to select beats n sequence they joints n write hooks or whatever whatever namsayin. Son got some heat tho.


15. Slime Flu 2 - Vado


I jus wanna say that Im glad son shook off that reputation he had for bein the poor mans Juelz Santana back when Cam'ron first put him on. Im sayin the Santana that use to rock his bandana like a tilted sailor cap on his head nahmean...not the nigga who basically fell off the face of the earth after Weezy never did that album wit him. But yo...Vado got on his grind hard to carve out his little spot in the game n got out from other niggas shadows nahmean. Truthfully him n Santana aint really that similar...matter fact they put a joint out together not too long ago n you can hear how son really do got his own style. But yo..I thought the Slime Flu joint was cool...but this shit was crazy b. Im sayin for a mixtape n shit. I aint expect son to go in like this...n he did the shit without bein under Cam's wing nahmean. Sliiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!!! 


14. The Big 10 - 50 Cent


Its like son done finally heard the people wit this shit. Niggas been tryna tell him "Fif...the people want another Get Rich Or Die Trying" namsayin...they dont want no Rick Ross cartoons...they dont want this "aggressive content" shit you stay pushin...they dont want vitamin water...they dont want you to solve world hunger...they jus want you to make another "Get Rich..." They want that "What up bluuuuhd...BO! Whattup Cuzzzzzzzz....BO!" shit namsayin. You can say a lot of good n bad shit bout 50 as a rapper but you dont EVER hear a lotta niggas sayin DAMN!! SON GOT BARS YO!!! Its basically just a cool flow, dope hooks n overall fresh ass songs that made that nigga a household name b. Each album had less n less of those ingredients. But we caught a glimpse of the old Fif on this shit. For a lot of niggas...that was good enough. Muthafuckas jus gon hope when it comes time to drop that next album son comes back this same way....or better. Word.


13. Self Rule - Kembe X


Lotta yall might be askin yallselves "Who the fuck is this nigga?" Truth is I asked myself the same thing when son insisted I listen to his shit a little while back. N I gave him the usual "nah fuck that...go thaaaaat way-->" type response. But son was persistent. Plus usually when you got ya mind made up that a dude gon be wack n then you listen to the shit...you wanna be like SEE I KNEW THIS SHIT WAS GON BE TRASH....even if its hot. But son was jus ridiculous. I wasnt even gon lie..I was like "damn son....you aint even garbage yo".  Come to find out he still 17 years old. Im tellin you...this dude gon be a problem for niggas in a few. Matter fact he a problem for niggas rite now namsayin. The shit aint jus some nigga spittin his hottest punchlines over a bunch a other niggas beats n shit. The kid is focused nahmean. I advise yall to even jus preview his joint  n peep that Introlude shit.  Son is official namsayin. CLICK THIS SHIT


12. Nostalgia, Ultra - Frank Ocean


I aint gon lie n say I was in love wit this shit rite out the gate b...but sons joints jus kept poppin up on the shuffle on my ipod n shit...n I kept not skippin em. So I kept hearin his shit n it kept growin on the god namsayin. So I went from feelin like "ayo get that shit the fuck outta here I dont wanna hear that corny shit b" to "yeah aight I guess the shit is cool if I hear a joint here n there but jus dont overdo that shit around me or Imma slap you rite into the neighbors crib" to "Fuck it whatever..yall let that shit play all the way thru but I dont wanna see niggas closin they eyes n mouthin the words to that shit son" to "Whattup...why yall aint got that Frank Ocean playin? ...Dont make me hurt one yall niggas". But yo...I kno summa that shit is a little sweet but I fucks wit it for the most part nahmean. 


11. Longterm Mentality - AbSoul


Ayo first off...I wanna apologize to son for sayin I wanted to throw a brick at his spine for hypin up some shit on twitter that I aint agree wit a few moths ago. If you readin this shit son...my bad. I was outta line. You handled it like a gentleman tho n the god salutes you for that nahmean. That bein said...anybody who been followin my moves should kno I fucks wit all that Black Hippy shit. The Loosen My Tie joint is my personal favorite shit on here b. N even if him n Kendrick do a song thats actually bout that corny ass desert wine Moscato...I still fucks wit the song itself. I jus be havin a more masculine beverage when I do namsayin.  Download this shit today b. Its only gon cost you jack shit aight.


10. The S.O.U.L. Tape - Fabolous


Ey'body kno that the boy can spit..but Loso aint really known for his flawless catalog or nothin like that namsayin. I aint sayin he makes wack ass albums son...but he dont exactly got niggas followin in his footsteps neither b. He sorta in that category of  A-list type niggas who got B-list careers...like Jadakiss or Lloyd Banks or some shit. It dont mean they corny or nothin...they jus aint make it to the upper echelons of rap like that. N like them dudes...he been known to dominate when he a feature artist or when he jus bodyin other niggas beats nahmean. Guess thats why sons mixtapes seem to get niggas more amped up than his actual forreal albums n shit b. This shit here is a perfect example of what Im sayin son. He jus goin in over other niggas beats...remakin em into lowkey classic joints n shit. Summa yalls mighta been feelin the Death Comes In 3's tape more but I aint really think it was fuckin wit this shit at all yo.


9. Dreamchasers - Meek Mill


I aint gon lie n say I think son is the most TALENTED nigga to ever grip a mic or nothin like that...but unless you on some scientifical lyrical miracle shit...you really cant front n say the nigga puts out some boring ass music or nothin like that nahmean. Son aint here to drop knowledge bombs on you or nothin. He aint here to split atoms n get philosophical on ya ass or save the icebergs or some shit like that. He aint gon steer ya kids down a path of intelligent decisions or help em get better grades in school nahmean. He aint gon have muthafuckas in Congress talmbout 'ayo this Meek Milly character startin to become a problem for us governmental muthafuckas...we gotta secretly take this muthafucka out before he get his people uprisin against the system n shit" Nah...son jus on his sexmoneymurderdrugs shit. Thats bout it.


8. Fear Of God - Pusha-T


Niggas been wantin to hear that Push-A-Ton solo shit for a minute now son. Yeah he been blessin beats wit his big bro Malice since before Grindin....but one n a half verses per song wasnt enough for niggas. So after 10 years that dream done finally come to fruition namsayin. Son got some nice little freestyles over some classic joints on this shit where he doin what he be doin best...bodyin other peoples beats. But the original joints is where its at tho namsayin. Minus the Kanye track which jus sounds like throwaway joint Yeezy was spose to slide to Consequence or Rhymefest or some shit. Im talmbout that "Touch it, touch it, touch it, DO SAWHHMTHIN" shit. Other than that tho this shit is mostly basura-free. But half this shit ended up on the official joint...so it wasnt really like a MIXTAPE mixtape that stood on its own two like this really the only place you gon cop these joints nahmean. But yo I definitely aint mad at it.


7. Cold Day In Hell - Freddie Gibbs


Gangster Gibbs might be the coldest nigga in rap son. Im not sayin the realest tho cuz  theres mad niggas doin real shit out there. You could even say that corny snow nigga Mac Miller be keepin it true to what he do when he rappin bout playgrounds n how it gets him upset when he cant reach the swings cuz some other niggas threw em over the top bar n they too high now or whatever the fuck son be rhymin bout...cuz  to tell yall the truth I dont really be listenin to that powder donut ass muthafucka's music like that namsayin. But yo... Gibbs jus hits you wit that freezer burn shit over n over son. The god done told yall bout the kitchen before...n how theres certain niggas that reside in the snack cupboards...mainly these regular ass niggas who aint necessarily waaaaack or nothin but they stay luke warm as fuck all day (Big Sean) n certain niggas thats all bout that pantry life cuz they corny as hell (say hello to Mac Miller again)...n of course you got these niggas that stay in fruit baskets n banana hammocks cuz they wild gay (I wont say no names....but you already thought of ol boy n that shit was on YOU not me son). But you also got niggas that be killin it from the fridge...which is like 70% of  the cool ass muthafuckas in rap. The shit goes on n on. But then you got those niggas that came from the frozen foods section. The coldest niggas that really dont got no room temperature joints at all) Thats them freezer niggas like that old Scarface n Beanie Sigel shit...or tha M.O.P. shit namsayin. I feel like son belongs in the freezer nahmean. Son got me feelin like I MIGHT ROB ME A NIGGA - ROB ME A ROB ME A NIGGA n I aint even broke like that b.  Yall need to fuck wit this shit rite here son.


6. The Hustlers Catalog - Smoke DZA


Son...there really aint even one weak track on this shit. Plus he got collabos wit Big Krit n Kendrick Lamar n Devin the Dude...n ey'body addin they own ingredients without messin up the flavor of the entire meal namsayin. This jus some fly joints...this aint even jus some pothead shit b. I dont kno if son really wanna squeeze into that lane still. Im sayin...he really jus out here makin dope music nahmean. Its mad niggas that done been there n done all that smoke shit already b. Homie got his own style tho. N the beats on this shit is serious. No question. This is lowkey one of the best albums of the year son. But since we livin in the era of free music n all promotional ey'thing...this is still jussa "mixtape" release namsayin. Whatever you wanna call it...jus dont call it mediocre. Or like the boy DZA hisself be sayin...riiiiiiiiiiiighhh.


5. Elmatic - Elzhi


"Cmon b...nobody should ever ever EVER remake a classic album son....EVER. Thats jus corny. Shit wont ever come close to the original namsayin. Oh word? That nigga Elzhi remade Illmatic? That nigga outta his muthafuckin mind son. Straight up. Son feelin hisself a little too much. He think he fuckin wit the 20 yr old Nas like that??? Fuckouttahere... When niggas see him they need to beat the boy down wit his own shoes b. Straight up. Oh word? That shit dropped? Bet. Lemme download that wack shit rite now. Imma show you why its wack. Aight lets throw that shit on n see how wack this shit is. Word...ok...that first joint was cool...but this shit rite here?!! False alarm...this shit right here aint really that terrible neither...skip to the next track. Nah skip to the next one. Next...next...next............ Ayo...I was actually feelin those first 9 joints...but this last joint gon be TRASH b. Hmmmmm... Fuck it. This shit aint wack at all b.  But I aint gon all the way cosign it cuz Im a man of principles son. So fuck that."
-Anonymous


4. The Great Debater - Skyzoo


Somebody tell me why this muthafucka is so underrated son. Deadass. Imma need some answers too. There aint no way round this shit no more par. Either theres some powers that be type nigga sittin at the top of the industry foodchain that REALLY dont wanna see son eat or he been cursed. Cuz son is SLEPT. ON. Like I dont mean like how niggas sleep on Nas n think he fell off...I mean son is SLEPT. THE. FUCK. ON. the way Jordan was the third pick in the '84 draft (shoutouts to Sam Bowie). Meanwhile that nigga J Cole spittin his deja vu bars all over the damn place...n droppin posturepedic joints for niggas to snooze to. Im sayin can m'man get a break? This shit is solid from front to back. Not to mention son is niiiiiiiice. Im sayin as far as that pure hip hop shit go...son got you. My guy aint bullshitin at all son. Dont sleep.


3. House Of Balloons - The Weeknd


Yeah I kno son on some singin shit b. THANK YOU nigga wit the Immortal Technique t-shirt n head to toe Carhartt for pointin that shit out for me. This the thing tho right...niggas is always hittin me up like Im spose to hate on any dude that sings or got a hook on his joint wit some muthafucka beltin out a melody on it. Basically yalls confusin the fuck outta niggas who happen to kno how to carry some notes n soft ass muthafuckas who jus need to shut the fuck up cuz they tender as fuck whether they sing rap or growl or whatever the fuck else namsayin. Slick Rick used to croon like a muthafucka. But he was also nicer than 99% of the niggas that was out at the time...n about 90% of the niggas out today.  This dude tho...he could sing the words off  the value menu items in a Wendys drive thru n probably make that shit seem kinda decent...over the rite production Im sayin.  Plus it aint like he on some simp ass "lemme hold ya purse for you while you put all that shit you jus grabbed from them racks on my Rushcard,  boo boo" type shit. Son might sing like Debarge type nigga but he be aint really bout that simp life. Even tho he basically aligned wit Young Garnier Fructis n that OctobVariesOwn movement... he still doin his thing. He also dropped 2 other mixtapes that were pretty dope last year. But this one definitely takes the crown still nahmean. Yall already kno.


2. LiveLoveA$AP - A$AP Rocky


Ayo theres a reason why niggas is still fuckin wit this joint b. The god might even owe son half a slap for this one cuz when I reviewed this shit I aint really give it the proper respect it was owed namsayin. Sometimes it aint even bout whether it was the the tightest or the most profound mind blowin shit to come out...its bout the impact namsayin. Cuz even tho homeboy borrows from mad niggas as far as his style go...these niggas invented a whole new sound. Plus he comin wit the visuals n all that n jus talkin bout the shit he really be doin. Its a lot of muthafuckas relatin to this shit. He creatin a culture within the culture...which is what niggas like Public Enemy n Dipset or the Wu all did. I aint comparin his movement to any of those movements..but Im sayin he really got the potential to do sumthin big. We all kno Pac started out jus dancin for Digital Underground n gettin his Humpty Hump on... n look where HE ended up nahmean. The nigga Kanye use to rock baggy jeans n white tees n white on white Airs n now he tourin the world in leather skirts n showin his womens clothing line at Paris Fashion Week n other shit that the average heterosexual nigga dont really be doin like that...but he Kanye so he can do shit like that. But yo...that aint really the point...n I aint sayin he on either them dudes levels at all b...Im sayin................I actually dont remember where I was goin wit this shit. But that dont even matter son. Yalls jus need to respect that this shit is like a breath of fresh air to the game namsayin. If you missed the gods review for this shit its HERE.


1. Return of 4Eva - Big K.R.I.T.


I think this might be the most talented dude in hip hop rite now son. He like a one man Dungeon Family...minus any medieval costumes or talk bout extraterrestrials n shit like that. Basically this a album son. This might even be one of the best rap albums of the last 10 years yo. I aint bullshittin...this shit barely got one weak joint on it...and I dont even skip that shit when I hear it namsayin. I feel guilty for not payin any doe for this shit b. Son should set up a paypal account n be like...'look...yall liked the muthafucka..why dont yall each slide me ten n we can call that shit even'. Im sayin yo...if Bow Wow got the nerve to charge niggas for his music why you givin away free masterpieces son? 




ALBUMS & EPs OF THE YEAR

Next we gon get into albums n shit nahmean...the official ones you either had to download off  iTunes or got to cop for free or jus had to g'head n steal or whatever whatever. Wasnt as many official joints droppin as there was mixtapes n shit...but that jus lets you kno what state the industry is in nahmean. Once again yo...theres a lot of other shit I was feelin but this is the shit I wanna show some appreciation to.



20. Setbacks - ScHoolboy-Q


I kno the conversation usually go sumthin like "Yeah that nigga Q dope...but that nigga Kendrick tho???...SONNNNN" so we gon jus get that out the way. This nigga is a beast regardless of who he affiliated  wit namsayin. Yeah he kinda gets looked at as Kendrick Lamar's man who also happens to rap sometimes n shit...but son actually be doin his thing too. Plus he got his own style n dont be jockin his mans flow like that. This joint dropped at the beginnin of the year so a lot of yall already forgot bout it n whatever...n he jus dropped a better one at the beginning of this year so..he definitely on his come up namsayin.


19. The illustrious - STS


Normally I aint really into all that happy go lucky shit namsayin...but this dude got the right muthafuckin producers to lace these joints. Plus he doin his thing on the mic too. Either way...this aint like the shit you use to hearin nahmean. Unless you used to hearin shit that aint like shit you usually hear namsayin. Like you might think you heard some shit like this before but on the real...it probably wasnt like this shit. This shit is jus mad different b. I dont even really kno how to speak on shit like this cuz it aint really my lane or nothin...but the shit is ill. I recommend that yall not sleep on this shit.


18. Covert Coup - Curren$y & Alchemist


Its hard to keep up wit what the homie Spitta be doin sometimes... it feels like he got a new mixtape or a collabo or a album comin out each week. Son dont really be takin no days off. I dig most the shit he puts out tho. Also I respect the fact that he one of the only artists that be tryin to get whole projects done wit the same producer ridin wit him from intro to outro. On this shit he linked up wit the homie Alchemist...n ALC laced son wit some laid back hazy shit for niggas to smoke to. I like Ski n Monsta Beatz as much as the next man...but these dudes got some serious chemistry (pause) happenin here. Anyways yo...summa yall might consider this a mixtape but the original plan was for the shit to have a barcode on it n drop on itunes n all that. But they decided to give it away for free in the end namsayin.


17. LA Riot - Thurz


This was hands down one of the most slept on official joints of 2011 b. I can understand why son wanted to charge niggas for this shit yo...he put together some actual real conceptual shit here namsayin. You can tell he did his homework too. Its like he created a diet Death Certificate (Ice Cube's second classic solo joint...from when son was still scarier to white people than Louis Farrakhan n the thought of runnin outta mayo combined). I mean talkin bout some riots from 20 years ago in the middle of a soft nigga epidemic...at a time when yoga-hop is whats poppin...might be some tough shit to do for a whole album. So luckily son aint really overdo all that "fight the power" shit. He got some laid back joints too. Yall need to cop this shit tho.


16. Hell: The Sequel - Bad Meets Evil


What else can anybody really say bout Eminem that aint been said 850 trillion times by muthafuckas all over the planet nahmean. Pretty sure theres some Eskimo type nigga in Antarctica or wherever the fuck Eskimos n penguins live that knows the words to sons joints even. You can probably even find a sherpa in Nepal witta mule to lead you up the mountains that could name all sons albums for you...sons ey'where b. And even when he bullshittin....his talent speaks for itself nahmean. No offense to his homeboys in D12...but they was never really able to keep up wit son. That fool Royce tho...he spits like a muthafuckin dragon from the depths of hell n shit when he really wanna get busy son...nahmean. But word is bond...this is a real natural fit namsayin. One dude might be the most recognizable muthafucka on the planet...n the other might be a underground hero...but when they bless a track together they jus sound like a actual duo or some shit....like they jus click or whatever. Im sayin tho...this shit wasnt perfect or nothin...but if you jus wanna hear muthafuckas RAP...they gon hold you down b.


15. Charity Starts At Home - Phonte


Imma get right to the point b...Phonte is probably the most underrated emcee NOT named Black Thought namsayin. Son can rap AND sing...n he can do both them shits well nahmean. I dont mean like that weak ass singin in the shower shit that Drake be doin neither. N as much as I can appreciate that boy Kid Cudi on a hook...we all kno son aint no singer like that b. M'man Tigalo tho? The brother can sing forreal. Son can actually carry a tune n be on some Freddie Jackson shit if he wanna be namsayin. But the most important thing is still the fact that son can spit  like a beast if he need to nahmean. This is what you call a true artist b.


14. Gunz N Butta - Cam'ron & Vado


N jus like that we back to my mans Killa n Vado namsayin...I aint really even gotta say no more. If you kno sons resume you kno what time it is b. That nigga Cam aint gon school yall on no current events or drop science on yall or nothin. It jus is what it is. The closest you might get to that is on the American Greed joint...other than that its jus pure ignorance the moment you set foot in that room son. Cam so ignorant you can almost imagine see him Harlem shakin on a cloud of popcorn chicken to the joints. This aint exactly Come Home With Me or Purple Haze Cam...its more like Crime Pays Cam. But I still fucks wit it. N that boy Vado done come a long way doggie.


13. Thug Motivation: 103 - Young Jeezy


Niggas fronted on this joint son. Personally I aint really get what the problem was nahmean. We already kno that son aint gon top TM 101 yo. Im sayin...let the nigga live. There was some tough joints on this muthafucka anyways b. Word is bond...I aint really even hate none of these songs neither yo. N son got mad features on this shit..so its like theres a little sumn sumn for ey'body...even tho it all still sounds like that Jeezy shit nahmean. Minus the I Do joint...which sounds like some other shit. But son is tryin to expand his vision. Its like niggas really aint even kno what they want from son no more tho. Either way...whether yalls wanted growth or if yalls jus wanted son to go back to his old shit...he kinda did both on this joint nahmean.


12. Dr. Lecter - Action Bronson


Ayo this my dude rite here son. Word. Son came outta nowhere a couple years ago n its been on since that time nahmean. Look at how many joints he been doin...how many quality projects he done put together n whatever. Yeah n he be gettin the Ghostface comparisons...niggas say he sound like Tone or whatever whatever. But if you really actually pay attention son got his own style n the only real similarities is the voice namsayin. But I aint really sweatin none of that g. My mans got joints for days. He dont slack a minute. Son jus tears that beat open wit his bare hands n eats it right down to the skeleton over n over n over nahmean. He a beast yo. Son jus tramplin thru the jungle like a rhino knockin over trees n crashin into huts n shit on these tracks. This exactly what rap needed son.


11. Undun - The Roots


Even the least incredible Roots joints got moments thats jus straight genius still yo. This one is definitely not one of the less incredible albums they ever done tho. So theres plenty genius on this muthafucka. Im jus glad these dudes basically never fall off b. I mean it aint that many artists...in rap especially..that keep it this consistent namsayin. The Roots is basically the Rolling Stones of hip hop b. They gon probably still be doin this shit 20 years from now...n they already BEEN doin it for over 20 years yo. They really jus stick to what they do...you dont see em hoppin onto trends n fakin they way to longevity nahmean. They aint start makin g-funk when that shit was poppin or do no crunk shit...they aint start cat daddyin like some lames jus to get young niggas to fuck wit em or nothin namsayin. They stuck to they guns n kept makin joints that they was sincere bout. Thats basically why they still matter b.


10. Follow Me Home - Jay Rock


Damn...more of these young niggas need to follow this mans examples b....if they capable of it I mean. By followin examples I dont mean niggas need to start glorifyin drug sellin n actin like they really be on some trap or die shit when they actually be on some workin in the seasonal department at Lowes shit. If you bout that "nonfat half-caff soy latte wit extra whip" life...do you. I just mean these niggas need to grow the fuck up n channel they inner manhood (pause) n try to percolate they testosterones or some shit. Its no secret that the Estrogeneration™ been mad cool wit lettin some corny shit slide nahmean. Niggas been rockin colorful bracelets n tuckin they jeans down into the bottom of they hi-tops n wearin snug ass jacketss for too long now namsayin. Lemme put it this way...if you was waitin on Game's R.E.D. Album all that time...you really shoulda jus copped this shit n let the boy Rock hold you down. This is what R.E.D. SHOULDA been....but instead it was some hot dirty diapers nahmean. This shit was en fuego tho namsayin.


9.We Are Renegades - Pharoahe Monch


PHAROAHE FUCKIN MONCH AINT A DAMN THING CHANGED....I guess a few things changed now tho. Son definitely still a animal on these tracks...but he also sayin a lot more. If the Clap joint aint come out in 2010 that shit woulda been in my top 10. Matter fact...stead a me sayin anything else bout the album...Imma let jus that joint do the talkin.




8. The PL3DGE - Killer Mike


This my mans rite here b. He gotta be one of the humblest industry dudes I ever came across son. But like I said I aint really playin favorites jus cuz a individual happen to show me respect or cuz I be cool wit em namsayin. Same go for anybody on any these lists that be showin me love or whatever. Anyways yo...son is the last of a dyin breed...the intelligent rapper who makes hardcore rap nahmean. Son basiclly came from that trap life n picked up a book or two along the way namsayin. Not only is these joints some fire...son is buildin wit niggas n spittin real jewels here par. But he puttin all that knowledge on tracks that make you wanna eat the thorns off a rose bush. Not to mentiuon he gotta couple joints thats jus on some ignorant shit. So...you kno...he balances out all that brain food he throwin on ya plates n be givin u some gravy to go wit it namsayin. 


7. Self Made Vol. 1 - MMG


Theres a lot of shit you can talk when it comes to this nigga Rozay. Yeah he grown ass man who also happens to be a straight compulsive liar... Son was a corrections officer... Son looks like he about 3 years pregnant n refuses to wear a shirt 97% of the time.... Oh n son is successful as fuck. That hurts a lot of muthafuckas namsayin. Niggas be losin sleep at the thought of this nigga coppin more Audemars n Bugattis son. Niggas be prayin to they maker that this nigga gon run outta words to rhyme wit yacht n palm trees soon. Or like DMX was sayin..."how much can a nigga eat?".  "Bottom line tho...is this muthafucka makes good ass music son. You also get to hear the verbal acrobatics of that lyrical wizard  Meek Mill n the less emotional side of Olubowale Folarin on this shit. ......Oh n Pill.


6. Well-Done - Action Bronson & Staik Selektah


Im tellin you...son is jus ILL. What made this shit even more crazy than the Dr Lecter joint to me is how Statik provided son wit nothin but marvelous shit. Im sayin all these joints is cooked to perfection son. There aint no filler. Both these dudes came correct n cheffed up some incredible shit tho. This joint kinda got slept on tho. So if you made time in ya life to go cop the Pink Friday joint but you slept on this shit SHAME. ON. YOU.


5. Fear Of God II - Pusha -T


Most the original joints off Fear Of God ended up on this shit too. And son padded this shit out wit more bangers...so its basically the same joint minus the freestyles n wit extra heat. Son still talkin all those usual rap nigga fantasies...that throwin money out the windows of they 2 million dollar Bugattis n flyin in helicopters to they private islands to go splash magnum bottles of Krug on exotic broads whose names you cant even pronounce while eatin beluga caviar off the stomachs of winged virgins n coppin wardrobes hand stitched by Martin Margiela hisself for they whole crew type shit....but he do be makin it sound good. He also kno how to make niggas think tho. The hands down illest bars on this shit go like this..."Im what dreams are made of /cocaine Ronald gave us /then Nancy tried to save us / by that time we had motorola pagers....". You 90s n 00s babies might gon have to google who Ronald n Nancy was n what pagers is to understand how ill this shit is tho namsayin.


4. The Greatest Story Never Told - Saigon


Son most this shit was like 4 years old before this album even dropped. But it sounds like some shit that could come out 4 more years from now n still sound fresh namsayin. Timeless music is timeless music b. Son basically missed all the opportunities he had to blow up. I kno it wasnt his own fault or nothin...major labels will fuck up more artist careers than they help nahmean. Son was on Entourage witta crazy ass opportunity to snatch up some of those millions of viewers n really get shit poppin. But instead this shit sold like 20k copies. That jus lets you kno how fucked up the game is. Cuz Im pretty sure when a corny nigga like Tyga drops his joint he gon sell 20k in bout a day. Fuck rap.


3. The Dreamer/The Believer - Common


Who would think that a dude who been around for like 20 years would drop some of his most potent shit this late in his career? M'man sounds fresh...like he jus wanna remind yall what he capable of. This how you balance out that rugged shit wit that shit that broads can lay back n twist they hair to. Son can go from rockin on a gritty ass joint wit Nasir one minute to talkin bout blue skies n celebratin shit to slappin the moisturizer outta Drake to lettin his Pops get some shine again...its a beautiful thing happenin here son. No I.D. produced the whole shit from top to bottom. Son deserves half the credit for the victory.


2. Section.80 - Kendrick Lamar


There aint a lot else you can say bout this dude. Son aint only showin yall what the future gon bring as far as this rap shit goes...he IS the future of this rap shit. There aint a lot niggas in the game that can straight rape n dismantle the fuck outta a beat n still find a way to cater to the females somehow namsayin. Look at the way he cooked this shit up. Other niggas aint let the baking soda bubble out. Niggas wont scrape that bullshit off the top. Son..this that novocaine...only that uncut raw....jus that hard white....that shit that makes ya whole face numb...that shit that could stop ya ass from breathin. Yall should be afraid of what son is cookin. He got shit thats gon paralyze ya arms... Son ignorant. Im tellin yall...they fucked up lettin this nigga rap. Matter fact dont even worry bout Section.80...Jus understand what kinda animal yall dealin wit. Jus listen to this shit...




And the album of the year is....





....definitely not that shit.....



1. Watch The Throne - Jay-Z & Kanye West


Aint a lot else niggas can say bout this joint...whether yall loved it or hated it or thought it was a success for em or jus a big ass disappointment...this shit gon go down in rap history as one of the most important albums of all time either way. This shit aint bout numbers..its bout impact b. Its bout changin the way muthafuckas think or the way they live namsayin. There was a couple moments of fruitiness on this shit that I could still not fuck wit in a trillion years...Im sayin there aint no muthafuckin way Im gon ever listen to LIFT OFF ever again basically. But even the Sweet Baby Jesus joint grew on me after a while. Im sayin...this collaboration was an event. This was a time yall gon look back on...n remember all the facebook statuses n tweets quotin a line from Niggas In Paris or muthafuckas sayin *Otis scream*...or talmbout "plankin on a million" or laughin at the clown who got "That Shit Cray" tatted on his arm n seein these niggas tour together n make history namsayin. Yeah I mean....Take Care n Carter 4 sold more...but did they have the same impact on the culture? Thats debatable I guess yo...but I aint like them shits at all. So it is what it is. This wasnt necessarily the most consistent joint of the year in my opinion...but the highs was crazy high even tho the lows was low as fuck namsayinn. Yeah it coulda been better....but the fact these niggas said they was doin a album together...n actually DID it was good enough for most folks. If yall aint peep the review by the god its right HERE.



JOINTS OF THE YEAR

For this shit I tried to keep it to one joint per artist...minus features n shit like that. Otherwise I woulda had like 300 joints on this list...n I aint tryin to spend any more time on this muthafucka than I already done spent namsayin.


30. One Day At A Time - 2Chainz ft Jadakiss


Word is bond...this video jus dropped yesterday or some shit. Its good to see some visuals for this joint. I mean the shit aint nothin but some lazy broads n these niggas chillin...but at the same time that man Jim Jones kinda did his thing behind the lense namsayin (yeah...THAT Jim Jones...shoutouts to Capo). Shit is mad laid back...some shit for all yall lean sippers. Its jussa cool ass track to let float thru the air when you aint really doin too much namsayin. It aint no hype shit. You aint really gon go lift weights n hit the heavy bag to some shit like this...its jus some shit to reflect on life to nahmean.


29. Catch Me - Amanda Diva


Summa yall already know this the homegirl. But I dont play favorites son. I love this shit. I already was feelin the joint at the time...but I musta watched this video bout 10 times in a row when I first seen it. The stories n the visuals jus made it even more real to me nahmeain. Basically this shit is jus pure love for the art form that I be tryin hard as fuck to not let get destroyed by corny niggas n basic ass broads. If yall aint kno bout this renaissance woman...I got you. You can peep most her shit n cop her joints or her art or watch her videos or whatever whatever at her official site namsayin. Word is bond.


28. Bonfire - Childish Gambino


Ayo normally the god dont really fuck wit none of that quirky shit namsayin. Like my dude come from sitcoms n shit like that...but soon as I heard this joint I knew that son wasnt really no joke namsayin. I mean...son might run kinda funny....n that plungin neckline he got on his t-shirt in this video might require some kinda explanation n shit....but he a talented dude. Like forreal...this joint go kinda hard b. 


27. Random Call - Random Axe


If you can scroll thru your ipod n find mad Kreayshawn n Soulja Boy joints on that muthafucka theres a good chance you wont enjoy this shit b. This shit is for niggas who appreciate straight up hip hop minus the gimmicks n all the bullshit. You wont be able to Dougie or wobble or whatever the fuck kinda dances yall be doin these days to no shit like this b. This aint the kinda joint you gon see strippers slidin down poles to or nothin...its jus pure hip hop shit witta sprinkle of that ignorance namsayin.


26. Druggys with hoes- ScHoolboy-Q


This nigga jus STOOPID son. Im tellin yall...these Black Hippy muthafuckas is takin over nahmean. Jus when you think the joint wont get any more ignorant the homie Ab-Soul comes n grabs the wheel n takes the ignorance up to the next level namsayin. Im tellin yall new rappers...you wanna be able to fuck wit these dudes then yall gon have to STEP YA IGNORANCE UP B.


25. Off & On - 50 Cent


This that Fif that the game been missin b. Yall can hate on the nigga...but he never was bout that brain surgeon rap. He back on his "Get Rich..." shit for 2012 hopefully...cuz this shit rite here is a good example of what he be doin best. The god threw up the "censored" version of the video cuz the other one was on some NSFW shit....n this a family friendly blog n shit namsayin. Word.


24. Last Days - Mobb Deep


I can still remember when these niggas use to carry sickles n had matchin baldies yo. They done come a long way son. The only thing that aint changed over the last damn near 20 years is the fact that Mobb Deep still supplyin yall wit that hardcore QB shit. This was jus some more of that...but witta updated sound.


23. Just Chill - Travis Barker ft. Beanie Sigel, Bun B & Kobe


Lotta yall mighta forgot that the before he started actin like Jay-Z's scorned ex broad...Beanie Sigel was actually The Broad Street Bully..aka one of the realest rappers the game ever seen namsayin. He back on his "real nigga rap" shit on this joint wit the legendary Bun B ridin shotgun yo. This was lowkey one of the most important songs of the year son.


22. My Sunshine - Blu


Son really needs to slow down sometimes b...I mean its dope that he stays on his grind n all that but its like son jus be sittin around sometimes n thinks yo Imma drop a album today or some shit nahmean. I dont even kno how many mixtapes n albums my dude got. All I kno is when I heard this shit I thought damn...why cant he always keep his shit at THIS level yo? This joint is like hope for the future to me son. I love this shit.


21. Make My - The Roots


Some artists n groups fall off after they been doin it for 2 decades or more namsayin. The Roots jus get more ON tho. They dont ever let you down son. This the difference between niggas who rap over beats n artists who make music. Feel me? This is MUSIC son.


20. The World - Smoke DZA


Ayo forreal...the god heard this beat in a dream before it ever came to his ears. Its like this shit was jus meant to be. Like how you gon front on some shit like this? You gotta straight up hate yaself to not be fuckin wit this shit namsayin. I swear I saw doves fly out my speakers when I first heard this shit g. This joint jus touches my soul yo (pause).


19. Ambition - Wale


That boy Olubowale aka Nigeria's forgotten son dont always be gettin the a whole lotta respect...or what I actually meant to say is son gets shitted on a lot namsayin. But even tho Ambition was basically a whole album of yoga music...he actually had a couple decent joints on that muthafucka. This shit in particular nahmean. Imma jus give credit where its due namsayin.


18. Opium - M.O.P.



Ayo if its one thing that the Mash Out Posse known for its for droppin some bangers son. Billy Danze n Fizzy Wo' got anthems for days nahmean. The types of shit where when you hear it you wanna jus grab a chair n break it over the head of the muthafucka thats next to you namsayin. I heard this joint n I went outside n tore the mailbox off of the sidewalk n threw it at a school bus son. This shit had me whylin the fuck out....cant even  lie son.


17. Warning (Remix) Uncle Murda ft. French Montana, Jadakiss, Styles P, Vado, Jim Jones & Cam'ron


The original was already hot...but the remix is straight fire nahmean. Even tho ey'body did they thing...once again my nigga Killa jus out-ignoranted the rest of these muthafuckas. Son straight up tellin you he gon smack the shit out a hater, smack the shit out ya neighbor, smack the shit out the mayor AND smack the shit out ya pregnant baby mom while she in labor. Now whats fuckin wit that b?


16. Shot Caller - French Montana


Contrary to popular belief...Frenchie is NOT the best rapper alive. I kno a lot of yalls is probably shocked to hear that...but you kno. It is what it is. I mean...lets jus say son has his "limitations" as a muthafuckin rapper. But it dont mean you cant enjoy that shit. Sons buzz is kinda crazy rite now for a reason b. Son got mad iggy shit on deck. And word...all yall die hard 90s heads already kno the sample of the horn sample came from that old Lords Of The Undergound joint. But the way the shit got flipped on this track was dope anyways.


15. Intro/Interlude/Outro - Lil Wayne ft. Tech N9ne, Andre 3000, Bun B, Nas, Shyne & Busta Rhymes


This shit probably woulda sounded better as one long ass outro instead of 3 different parts on the Carter 4 joint...but I guess Weezy felt like he needed to stretch his wings out on this shit all alone or whatever. Even tho the bars Drake wrote for him included that suspect ass line that had muthafuckas all over the world rewindin to make sure he had said what they thought he said ("Boy Im goin in...like my water broke") and corny shit like "my shit wont ever stop...suck my green light"...this was actually summa the better shit he spat on the  whole album. But we all kno the real reason the shit became 3 parts was cuz he aint wanna have his bars so close to what the fuck Nas n Tech N9ne did to this shit. Pretty much ey'body went in tho...Bun did his thing...Bussa bodied that shit as usual namsayin. But lemme jus say that if there was a way to surgically remove Shyne from this muthafucka permanently I wouldnt mind hin that.


14. Ready Set Go (remix) - Killer Mike ft T.I. & Big Boi


NoI.D. on the track...let the story begin. Im sayin son....my dude jus keeps on craftin bangers like he bout to retire or some shit. Plus he got so many sounds that he can make joints for pretty much any artist out there forreal. But yo...the remix is basically the same joint as the original...except Big Boi blesses the track this time around. Tip still did his thing on the hook...n my dog Killer Mike goes straight for the throat...straight clownin these effeminate ass niggas out here....my favorite pastime. This shit jus knocks like a muthafucka tho.


13. Not Enough Words - Action Bronsosn


Statik Selektah LACED this shit b. This beat was perfect for son to go in on. And my G straight up waxed this muthafucka. Outta all the shit Bronsolino put out last year this was my hands down favorite shit son. This shit was inspiration to me nahmean. I listen to this joint like once a day at least...shit gon help yall stay on point. If you aint do it yet...yall need to cop that Well-Done LP. Im tellin you....


12. Be With Me - Cam'ron & Vado



This shit reminded me of the "old Cam'ron". His boy Vado blesses the first half witta solid verse n then Killa comes in to share one of his tales that any real nigga can relate to...a chick sent a ass pic to his phone n his main girl seen it n now she throwin shit n losin her mind over it namsayin. That shit done happened to most niggas at least once. Its some real shit nahmean. But besides that...the beat is some vintage Cam. Matter fact if Vado wasnt on this shit n it had Juelz Santana doin his "Ay!" thing on the hook n Capo threatenin to bury lames who aint bout it bout it at the end it coulda been a Dipset joint...


11. I Love My Bitches - Rick Ross.


Say what you want bout his abilities as muthafuckin "emcee" but this nigga got some heat...son can flow. More important than that shit is the fact that this Oreo cookie-eatin, pickle juice-drinkin, chicken gristle-eatin muthafucka can hear a beat that sounds like the gates of Heaven openin in music form from 7 miles away n have that shit knockin in his headphones while he rhymes bout his latest expenditures to that shit in under 15 minutes flat son. Son is like a magnet for retarded beats. And Just Blaze killed that shit Rozay copped from him for this joint. I aint even care what this song was bout son. Coulda been bout foldin laundry for all the fucks I give b. Shit is fire.


10. Demons - A$AP Rocky


There was too many crazy joints to choose from off that Live.Love.A$AP shit son. Could been Brand New Guy...coulda been the Trilla joint...coulda been Peso...but this shit jus gotta special vibe to it. Like that shit can jus have you zonin namsayin. Aint no real way to explain why some shit jus hits harder than other shit. I jus let the music speak for itself tho. Let the beat chill.




9. Swim Good - Frank Ocean


There aint never been no shit that sounded like this before son. This gotta be one of the most original joints I heard in a minute still. I mean he had some cool shit on his mixtape n whatever but there was definitely some magic happenin when he recorded this shit son. I heard muthafuckas say this shit is bout suicide...n some even think its bout murder. But forreal...I think its jus bout movin on after a relationship goes bad namsayin. Now that might sound like some corny shit...but thats jus how life is namsayin. Now if son was talmbout he lonely n he drunk n now he gon call his ex girls n tell em they niggas aint shit...NOW we venturin into corny land nahmean.


8. Country Shit (Remix) - Big K.R.I.T. ft Ludacris & Bun B


The original joint dropped in 2010 but the remix aint come out til the Return Of 4Eva mixtape...so this shit counts. Son brought Luda n Bun B along for the ride this time. Luckily this aint the Luda that spit that struggle shit durin the last BET Cyphers...its the good Luda. Bun always on point n the homie Krit of course does his thing. Had to be the best joint off the best mixtape of the year.


7. Nasty - Nas


Ey now n then the boy wit the chipped tooth gotta come back n show niggas why he one of the nicest ever. The thing you gotta love bout son is his ability to not give a fuck. On paper this looks like some stupid shit as far as career decisions go namsayin. Like son jus gon drop a single wit him spittin like its '88 on some Wrath of Kane shit over some milk crate breakbeat joint wit no hook or nothin? In the the middle of the Electro-estro-emo era of rap? But thats how the boy Nasir get down rite? You gotta love how he be stickin to his guns nahmean. Sometimes you gotta lead by example tho...stead a jus followin the pack namsayin. You sacrifice yaself to break the cycle nahmean. You might not live to reap the rewards n shit but you plantin the seeds so that the next muthafuckas gon have they little plants to cop they vegetables from n whatever whatever. Thats what separates the legends from the leeches b.


6. Sweet. - Common


It aint a diss song its jussa real song. First thing I thought when they heard this muthafucka was "Damn this shit GOTTA be bout that sanctuary for a stripper ass nigga from Toronto wit Tang in his blood"...otherwise known as that rest haven for your inner low self esteem havin teenage broad and/or muthafuckin drunk off Nuvo all by his lonely self cockblockin ass simp...Aubrey. Yall probably thought the same. The nigga Com basically unleashed the fury of a million slaves on that muthafucka without sayin his name. But yall already knew he was takin it to that particular honeycomb ass beige muthafucka's neck when you heard him say "little bitch".  No I.D. gave his man one of the hardest beats of the year to tap dance on the little homie's dignity to. But EVEN IF it wasnt bout the nigga who could moisten a entire desert witta single teardrop... I would STILL fuck wit this joint. My man was possessed by the ghost of boom-bap era KRS-One on this muthafucka. And thats just what kinda greatness a lot of these McRappers out here jus aint capable of son.


5. Rich & Black - Raekwon ft Nas


Anytime the boy Nas n Lex Diamond get on a track together the shit is a classic b. Verbal Intercourse...Eye For An Eye n whatever whatever...these niggas really feed off each other (pause) namsayin. Im sayin they bring out each others A-game (no homo) tho. Niggas brought the 90s back on this joint b. My speakers smelled like cooked rubber after I heard this shit the first ttime son. Shit sounded like Viking theme music. Niggas aint just hop on this track n spit bars...they invaded that muthafuckin beat nahmean. Niggas raped n pillaged the shit outta the track on some barbarian shit son. This is grown nigga hip hop rite here b. You wont never hear no little niggas come up wit some shit like this. This is experience namsayin. This is how verterans put it down...you gotta have stripes on ya muthafuckn arms to do some shit like this son.


4. HiiiPoWeR - Kendrick Lamar


Anybody that follows my shit knows I consider that boy Kendrick the future of Rap nahmean. Son is a serious alien b. Like I dont even kno how this nigga be speedin his shit up right past the beat n then comin back round the other side of it to approach it from behind again namsayin. Its like son splits into 4 different niggas n jus ambushes the track on some prison showers shit. This my favorite shit off  the Section 80 joint yo. The funny thing bout this track is the homie Young Eeyore aka J Cole laced this shit. But how he gon bless his nigga wit some fire like this n then put out his own album wit beats soundin like they was made 10 years ago on Cubase 1.0 or some shit son? I swear I dont understand that dude one bit. But Im thankful that son passed this shit to his man...cuz this shit came out superb son.


3. My God - Pusha-T


I dont wanna judge this shit by the video...because they aint even rent the right color Murcielago for this shit namsayin. Im sayin Kanye mighta slid son the CyHi budget on this shit...which aint cool b. Cos that boy Pusha Ton made one of the greatest joints of the last 100 years n he gettin disrespected here son. This muthafucka shoulda had the All Of The Lights budget. This shit shoulda had angels wit trumpets ridin on the backs of golden elephants n gorillas c-walkin on the walls of the Vatican or mermaids floatin on clouds wit mountains explodin in the background or some shit. But it dont change the fact that son blessed us wit some majestic shit.


2. The Morning - The Weeknd


Yeah thats rite son. Any nigga thinkin 'what the fuck this soft ass OVOXO shit doin on here???' can kiss my ass b. This shit is a work of art rite here son. Never mind the fact that under that cool ass laid back shit you hearin...this nigga actually jus singin bout drugs, strippers n hoes. It aint even no sucka shit like that. This joint is glorious son. It sounds like the morning after the party...that 5am shit. When shit make the most sense...jus before you crash. Before the hangovers n shit. In some ways this joint could be #1 to me.


1. Who Gon Stop Me - Jay-Z & Kanye


Before all yall little corny know it all ass niggas start sayin to yallselves "B-b-b-b-but...them niggas just jacked that shit from Flux Pavilion... that aint fairrrrr... weep weep weep...(insert more bitch ass keepin it really reaaaally real I hate mainstream niggas type fuckboy shit here)..." while you cry puddles all over yall laptops n throw ya bowls of Alphagettis at the Jedi Mind Tricks posters on ya walls n shit....jus remember that the equation for the amount of fucks Im capapble of givin multiplied by the amount of times I would spare yall that fuck Im spose to give you looks sorta like--> 0 x 0 = ___ namsayin. Anyways yo...this shit makes me wanna punch a eagle outta the sky son. Yall cant even ignore the shit that occurs on this muthafucka neither b. This aint the Kanye n Jay show. This aint Otis b. I mean...niggas was sharin the spotlight right up til bout the 2:18 mark...then Hovi steps up in front of Yeezy n decides he gon go for dolo namsayin. By 2:39 in Jay be like "Nah...pardon me Ye...I got this". At 3:01 in you can almost hear the sound of Kanye gettin thrown across the room as Jiggaman starts spittin like his life dependin on it n disrespectin pretty much any nigga that he encountered in his muthafuckin life. This is what separates basic rap niggas from niggas who basically run rap namsayin. Jay showin yall muthafuckas why charisma n mic presence gon always matter more than BARS namsayin. Yall nerd ass muthafuckas who chose some word that most niggas never heard of before outta the dictionary as your rap name probably aint never gon understand that shit tho. Like that nigga Pain In Da Ass once said..."Why don't you go get outta here. Get lost. Go kick a freestyle or something". Word is bond. Grown folks is talkin here son.


Word...n since I aint a hater like that Imma let yall kno what was the hottest joints of the year. It aint necessarily got nothin to do wit my own personal preferences or nothin...but I wasnt mad at none of this shit either way nahmean. But FUCK NO there wasnt no Kreayshawn, Tyga n Breezy joints that I even wanna pretend to give a fuck bout. Technically one of these joints dropped at the end of 2010...but it was poppin like a 2011 joint still....so...


The Hottest Joints of The Year

5. Ima Boss - Meek Mill ft Rick Ross




4. Im On One - DJ Khaled ft Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne




3. Niggas In P**** - Jay-Z & Kanye




2. 6'7 - Lil Wayne ft Cory Gunz




1. Otis - Jay-Z & Kanye



Word is bond. Im done b. I was gon do a couple other lists...but this shit could fill a book already. 
Aight peace.

  17. Dope shit all the way through. I'm just glad you weren't lyin to us on Twitter about when this shit was gonna drop. Like through January it was "Chill bruh it's comin" ... then "I'm workin on it now, chill", then "It's gonna be here in two days b" and what do you know, it's here. A lotta people say shit like that just to keep the public at bay and don't come through, but you did. Good shit.

    Anyway the blog is dope as usual. Great music plugs, 100% real shit, and the commentary is hilarious as fuck, as usual. I'm glad you shouted out The Morning as the best Weeknd joint, that one's my fav too.

    Keep doin your thing man. I never doubted you.

  21. Big Ghost is a faggot.

    1. He's white not black
    2. He lives in Australlia he's not from America he's never even been to America.
    3. He's 21 and still lives with his parents.
    4. He's a virgin and he's fat and short.
    5. He's a sensitive bitch.

    He won't accept this comment because he only accepts comment that dick ride him. But if he does accept this he will deny all those things even though they are true.

    BigGhost aka the White Virgin.

I mean, you did say it had the greatest beat, you said Just Blaze is back and that 3 minutes of waitin' for that papercut-related type of seizure Drake is capable of was worth it since it faded into that straight ignorance Ross packed - I mean, it blew me away too, just like Maybach Music III - , and still, it ain't here at all.

  25. People need to come to terms with the fact that Watch The Throne was trash. Expensive trash! Designer trash! But trash.

    Also, ASAP Rocky jacked Lil B's sound and producers and replaced all the weird parts with boring parts.

    Gibbs is indeed cold as fuck though. And Black Hippy is taking over.

  28. Son, i am disappoint.
    This charts are pretty much weak. You put on em the same music that you dissed for all the year. I don't see much Wu, how come that? :(
    Watch The Throne is a good album but puttin it on the first position is too much; I mean, i liked it but they were really just bulshittin around, the lyrics where WEAK, Kanye shitted on Jay on most of the tracks, actually I thought that Who Gon Stop Me ain't that good, Jigga was rapping fast with double time n shit but the flow was GARBAGE, and I speak as a big Jigga fan, not a hater... overally it's just a weak copy of MBDTF.

    Anyway, still waiting to see more Cocaine Biceps posts.
    Peace God!

  29. Yoooooo I can't believe you didn't put Random Axe as one of the best albums of 2011, the joint you put up from them isn't even the best single from the album, "the hex" was a much better single, but yo, you prolly will give 0 fucks about this comment, about others opinions, so ima give 0 fucks about your list. Good lookin on the skyzoo shout out though, the most slept on emcee out there.

  31. S/O to Jonny Shipes for posting this link. I agreed with a lot of what you said and became interested in more music. Any nigga who knows Big K.R.I.T.'s "MIXTAPE" was an ALBUM, and son should get paid for it... Knows that Smoke DZA's THC, was on of the dopest albums of the year... Knows that enough fucks weren't giving on the budget of "MY GOD"... Knows that Jay and Ye's WTT was a moment in history... I FUCK WIT YA!! After reading this in it's entirety... I want to know how you feel about EVERYTHING my nigga.

    ReplyDelete
  32. ....Uh.. *chuckles* you forgot "Friend of the People: I fight evil"

    The beats were on and off, but that was the worst thing about it. Whats up Ghost you never talk about Lupe at all. I would have thought you would have at least commented on his Label situation.

    "Dad made me a soldier G.I. Joe to these Cobras. Trying to FBI my Panther CIA my Sankofa"

    Think about that..

    That said, I dont care if he is from your borough I aint fucking with Killer Cam's music no more.

  34. WTT was a great album and the best released last year despite the fact that a 40+yr old expectant father was still talking about slanging cane on it.
    Kanye bodied Jay on WTT. "Who Gon Stop Me" is obviously an attempt for Jay to save face, not no "this is grown folk talking" shit like you try to make it out to be.
    That and Action Bronson aside you listed some fire music.

  41. I must be from Mars or some shit...Watch the Throne was trash. That was a solid 1.5 mic album filled with bullshit and bragging. The best album on his list is either W.A.R or Charity starts at home. Lasers should have at very least made the list in all honesty. But that's whatever.

    I need to start my own shit, There will certainly be a day dedicated to shitting on Drake because he's corny and bitch made, along with all of his label mates.

  58. The fact that Jay-Z is #1 on every single list this corny ass nigga made just proves my point that you east coast nighas stay dickriding Jay like your lies depended on it. Dude put out an average album with Kanye with overrated, decent at best singles. Niggas In Paris is softer than anything Drake put out this year, but the fact that you think it was 1 of the hottest tracks to come out this year speaks volumes.

  67. Most of these albums and Mixtapes i never heard. But Asap Rocky and others i heard and i agree with what you said. Also about the Watch the Throne album. I didnt think it was a classic but it was solid enough to be the best Album of last year. It wasnt consistent but the album had some bangers with alot of replay value.

    As far as who gon stop me. I tell these nerd niggas online all the time all that complex shit niggas aint trying to hear that bullshit. Good review tho. That last article about Kids and shit i wasnt feeling. Everything else you posted has been great.

  69. In response to the person above...

    "'Niggas in Paris is softer than anything Drake put out this year', true"

    You have to be joking if you're truly thinking this, right? You mean to tell me:
    "So I ball so hard muhf*ckas wanna fine me
    But first ni**as gotta find me
    What's 50 grand to a muhf*ka like me
    Can you please remind me?
    Ball so hard, this sh*t crazy
    Ya'll don't know that don't sh*t phase me
    The Nets could go 0-82 and I look at you like this sh*t gravy"

    Is in some remote way softer than...

    "So cry if you need to but, I can't stay to watch you that's the wrong thing to do
    Touch if you need to but I can't stay to hold you that's the wrong thing to do
    Talk if you need to but I can't stay to hear you that's the wrong thing to do
    Cos you'll say you love me and I'll end up lying say I'll love you too.
    But I need someone different. (You know it oh oh, You know it oh oh, you know it we both know it)"

    Get the hell out of here with that bullshit. Quite obviously this is the bitch in you speaking, trying to rationalize a personal remark to Big Ghost. It ain't working.

    "he dude taking time of mocking drake (rightly)& ten put the throne "album of the year" just coz it's a collabo between jay & kanye & the impact...?"

    Yes, silly nigga. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and say that most albums upon initial release such as Watch the Throne are generally judged by its quality, but true Rap enthusiast know that this changes IN RETROSPECT. Most of the time, a certain album may not receive its appropriate attention, but seeing the cultural impact it has on the Hip-Hop community matters more than what albums you 'think' might have been better than it in the particular year it was released. Fuck it, this is evident in ALL of social media. Video Games, Television Shows, Movies - this is why this statement of yours is largely bullshit. Watch the Throne has already has a significant impact and it hasn't even been out longer than a year.

    And, even with Big Ghost giving your undeserving dumbass of a being a rational justification for his choice, this list still is largely a subjective one, so cease assuming that his list his end-all.

    "they made exactly the same soft-pathetic-pop bullshit than drake"

    Fuck outta here with that shit. Jay-z is mainstream because he's worth $500,000,000 nigga. Quite obviously people are going to buy that shit and amp him up in social media, that doesn't make him in the same boat as Drake's Gayass Take Care. We can do a comparison of each song in Take Care's to each song in Watch the Throne's, you'd have to be a lunatic to think that any of Jay/Kanye's songs are softer in comparison.

    "kanye has never been a good mc.."

    This I agree on, but that's largely irrelevant shit that EVERYBODY already knows - Kanye is a genius musically. That's why that nigga has 18 Grammy's in his possession, so this line means nothing.

    All in all you dumb niggas are just attempting to find excuses to bring down Big Ghost or falsify his judgement. But if all you can come up with is this shit, you aren't much beyond dirty sandy-ass haters beneath his and everyone's feet.
