I wasn't really a fan of Mos Def but I gave Estactic a listen, and wow there are some great songs. These two are amazing, and Slick Rick absolute kills it with his verse.

 

[Blood Bath]

Last year we posted our favourite albums and songs of the year. I thought it'd be cool if we did it again. I'm getting in early as I'm pretty sure my opinion won't be changed over the next 3 weeks.

Song of the year:

Danny Brown - Grown Up. I spent the first part of this year absolutely obsessed with Danny Brown's XXX album, and when this song came out it was like a breath of fresh air. It's chill as *, and nothing at all like the tracks on his album. It really made me realise that this guy is a multi-dimensional rapper and will probably be around for a good while yet.




Album of the year:

Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music. Words cannot express how much I enjoy listening to this album. Mike's raps are fearsome yet thought provoking. El-P's production is some of the best I have heard, period. Take away a couple of the guest verses on the opening track, and it is pretty much a flawless hip hop album.





Apologies to Kendrick Lamar. His album was a clear second, followed by El-P's "Cancer 4 Cure".

Album of the year? Good Kid M.A.A.D City (took me a while to "get" it though). For second place you can't go past Apollo Brown & OC: "Trophies". Pretty much a perfect album IMO. No gimmicks, no guest artists... Just straight up exquisite production and dope, smooth rhymes with a conscious message.

Yeah, that Apollo Brown/OC album is great. Have you heard the Apollo Brown and Guilty Simpson album? That came out this year too. It's been such a good year for hip hop!

[Burzum]

Holy s**t, Rugged Man is white!

I had no idea, he sounds so black.

My mind was blown the first time I found that out as well

 

[j0rdy1]

Is it just me or is it slightly annoying when people call ASAP Rocky just ASAP. Seeing as there is like 15 guys with ASAP at the start of their names.

 

[Burzum]

morons gonna moron

 

[Toadvine]

No one happens to have a spare/unclaimed Action Bronson ticket for his Melbourne show do they?

I waited too long, I never thought they'd sell out this far in advance

Check out this EP called 'Wall Street' by Melbourne Hip Hop/Rap Artist Ry.

Some songs have been featured on Triple J Unearthed so you might have heard them before if local hip hop is your thing.
