Best mixtape don't mean anything to me to be honest.


2012 was the year of the blockbuster albums (not much underground/independent stuff interested me)

I thought Busta was ok for a 'free album' - if it was a major release I'd be disappointed

Liked DMX's album, got a few spins but it was basically crap

It just seemed like it was gonna be a real release and then he realized at some point ''nobody gives a fuck. Give it away free''

Still love that Tears for Fears sample though!

Busta's just droppin hot verses on other peoples shit right now (still killin it). I don't think he was ever in the lab seriously making a full project, and google probably offered him some shit to drop the album on their service..I don't blame him for handing them something full of filler

And it was still a better album than Slaughterhouse

yeah well he raps fast.. hasnt killed a verse in years.. And to me its just sad that nobody gives a fuck about their legacy..

It would be amazing to have nothing but classics in your catalogue but mistakes like yotd just fucks it up.. and whatever his previous album was called didnt help either.. the album that started out being called b.l.e.s.s.e.d.

In no particular order and due to lack of creativity, I am including selections from the previous year as well... Also, these are specifically for the Hip Hop Genre irrespective of other genres outside of Rap in general.

- Kendrick Lamar: good kid, m.A.A.d city
- 9th Wonder & Murs: Final Adventure
- Nas: Life is Good
- Joey Bada$$: 1999  **Not an album but better than most albums released which qualifies it on principle alone.
- Big K.R.I.T.: 4Eva N A Day **Not an album but enough good original material to qualify. '11
- Immortal Technique: The Martyr  **Not an album but a compilation of unreleased material and new tracks but who cares, its Immortal Technique (and his material packs more historical and social relevance than a fucking textbook) '11

To get 4 actual albums, I'd have to include 2011 lol - in which case...

- The Roots: Undun '11

Honorary mention for single(s)...

- Ras Kass: Sushi

Good to see someone reppin poor old DMX's album.

Sucka 4 Love could be the 'realest' track of the year for me

"Never been a sucker for love
So if it come down to you and me you know
I don’t give a fuck, hit the next bitch like wassup
cause at the end of the day
you ain’t never been nothing but a nutt"

Post by: MistaNova on December 15, 2012, 09:18:30 AM
*Big Sean - Detroit (best release of 2012 IMHO)
*G.O.O.D. Music - Cruel Summer
*Skyzoo - A Dream Deferred
*Kirko Bangz - Procrastination Kills 4

Everything else I listened to was either crap or just shitty, to the point where I can't come up with a fifth release that I thought was remotely good.

Well 4 days after 2013 started I've rethought my Top 5 hip hop albums of 2012 and I've decided that basically everything was lackluster to me this year.
I dunno if it was because I was starting to start like other genres a lot more or whatever but I was just really disappointed in a lot of releases this year.

However, IMO there was one really good release this year, Big Sean's Detroit.
That's still the best release of 2012 IMHO, it's the only full 2012 mixtape/album still left on my iPod.
