    The year has seen a bunch of decent releases, more good releases and a significant amount of great ones.

    I have listened to “The Cool” and my first impression is that Lupe’s second is good-bordeline-great… Album of the year? That’s a stretch!

    And any release that drops in December should be out of contention.

    ^ Why shouldn’t December count? And if we do exclude December albums from this year (Wu-Tang, Ghostface, and Lupe) then we better include last year’s December joints (NaS – HHID)

    Not including December joints messed me up last year. I’m taking a different approach this time.

    To MimesisBTG: I just think those albums are given too short of a time to sink in (a couple of weeks at the most). And it’s not fair for those albums that came out earlier in the year either… Yes we should include HHID!

    I am really loving what’s coming out by the way

    To Rizoh: I understand…

  • MimesisBTG

    To Fivefold: I hear you. I think that both approaches have positive and negative aspects. I personally prefer doing lists for the calendar year, even if we have to wait a little longer for them so that the December albums can sink in (especially since there are 3 December albums that deserve serious consideration this year).

    I have to give album of the year (personally) to Talib Kweli. I know most of mainstream and the folks that put (most) of these awards shows together, will not nominate it. Ear Drum is one of the best CD’s ever made, and IMO Talib’s best yet.

    Are you all serious? This album is wack. There’s like four good songs on the whole thing.
