2012 BEST HIPHOP ALBUMS OF THE YR...(IN RANDOM ORDER)

MEYHEM LAUREN-----RESPECT THE FLY SHIT

IN MY OPINION THIS LP PUT THIS LO-LIFE/OUTDOORSMEN ROOKIE OF THE YR...DOPE FUCKIN LYRICS AND HARDCORE BEATS....HIS MANDATORY BRUNCH MEETINGS LP CAME IN LATE THIS YEAR....SO IT MADE THE HONORABLE MENTION LIST....CHECK 4 BOTH OF THESE CLASSICS.

ACTION BRONSON AND THE ALCHEMIST-----RARE CHANDELIERS

WHAT MORE CAN I SAY BOUT BRONSON...THIS MC HAS BEEN CATCHING WRECK EVER SINCE LAST YR...NOW ADD WORLD FAMOUS SOUL ASSASSIN THE ALCHEMIST TO THE BEATS AND U GET A MASTERPIECE LP...

LA COKA NOSTRA-----MASTERS OF THE DARK ART

THIS INFAMOUS CREW CAME OUT THIS YEAR WITH SUM BANGERS....ANYTHING THESES CATS DO I GO COPP...CHECK OUT THE PREMO LACED SONG MIND YA BUSINESS...THIS SUM STRAIGHT NYC SHIT

GUILTY SIMPSON AND APOLLO BROWN------DICE GAMES

COMING OUT OF THE DIRTY DETROIT THIS MC HAS SHINED ALOT (THANX TO J DILLA & MADLIB)...WITH THE HELP FROM NYC CAT APOLLO BROWN THIS LP IS VERY SLEPT ON IN MY OPINION AND NEEDS THE SHINE LIGHT.....PURE HIPHOP ALBUM

ROC MARCIANO----RELOADED

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS LP TO COME OUT ALL YEAR...THAT WAS CLASSICK HE SAVE IT TILL THE END OF YEAR....THIS LONG ISLAND MC IS BY FAR THE BEST MC GOIN RIGHT ABOUT NAW...ALCHEMIST & Q-TIP GIVE HIM HELP ON BEATS (Q-TIP EVEN EXECUTIVE THE LP) WHILE ROC HANDLED MOST OF PRODUCTION....CLASSICK NYC SOUND

SEAN PRICE IS A BEAST ON THE MIC....THIS DUCKDOWN BRETHREN HAS BEEN GIVEN YALL HEAT SINCE THE HELTAH SKELTAH DAYZ...JUS PURE HIPHOP FROM BKYLN....NONESTOP!

DJ MUGGS-----SOUND CLASH BUSINESS

EVEN THOUGH THIS WAS A EP ITS STILL FUCKIN GREAT...MUGGS TAPS INTO A MIXTURE OF DRUMNBASS, HIPHOP, & PSYCHEDELIC SOUNDS ON THIS ONE....MUGGS ALWAYS GOES INTO REALMS THAT SOUND DOPE....CAN'T WAIT FOR HIS NEW ALBUM BASS FOR YA FACE IN JAN....SOUL ASSASSINS YALL

ALCHEMIST-----RUSSIAN ROULETTE

ALCHEMIST IS MY TOP 5 PRODUCERS OF ALL TIME....DUDE NEVER FAILS, HE ALWAYS BRINGS THAT GRIMY SOUND...ON THIS 1 HE TAPPED INTO RUSSIAN SAMPLES THAT SOUND SICK...WITH HELP FROM TOP NOTCH MC'S (PRODIGY, ACTION BRONSON, EVIDENCE, & BIG TWINS TO NAME A FEW)....THIS KID NEVER STOPS
