...or, if you're in the mindset of a realist, and know the world as we know it, will continue to revolve into 2013 and on...as we're fastly approaching the end of 2012. what are your picks for the best rap/hip-hop album releases of the year (2012).

drop 'em!




peace.

Hmm...as you probably know I haven't listened to alot of Hip Hop this year in particular,
but a few caught my ear.Fill in the blanks,fam..I'm going from the head,so dates,specific songs,etc
might elude me.

1.MASTER ACE - Ma Doom/Son of Yvonne
There was a song on this CD called Nineteen seventy somethin'),I liked alot.

2.DJ Premier & Bumpy Knuckles - Kolexxxion
Big fan of Premo, even if he don't catch it like before, it's still good.

3.ROC MARCIANO - Roc Marciano
Well,somebody gotta hold NY down correct.
They passed the torch to this cat.

4.DE LA SOUL - First Serve
Can't remember if it was just two of the three,but it was different
and I got interested in it.My son brought it by this past summer.

5.RAPSODY - The idea of beautiful
This lady gets hers on this CD.Glad to see the ladies are still
representing well in the game.

Peace

both the P.E. albums





Planet Asia - Black Belt Theatre





Sean Price - Mic Tyson

I missed out on the few vinyl releases of Roc's Reloaded, they sold out quickly but it's restocking so I'll get mine soon. How is that in comparison to his first album?

I still plan on copping those PE's soon.
