Comment by qbd1 12.26.10 @i think montezuma is from ’09
i think 199now was a pretty boring lp except for mad ammo, i’d rather listen to kanye’s

jake one and freeway are the best duo in hip hop right now
i’m sorry to say the west didn’t offer much this year except e-40′s double lp and some evidence sneak previews

Comment by DONALESKI 12.27.10 @that Scram Jones song reminds me of some kid cudi shit. no wonder no one mentioned it
Comment by BR 12.27.10 @Nobody named Dr.oop – Grateful Dread? …
That album and Lewis Parker&John Robinson album = Two best LP’s this year …
Comment by ACthePD 12.27.10 @http://www.divshare.com/download/13477599-808
… the best of 2010 y’all need to know is on this compilation w/ precison, no mix but fell like tho!
@ BR man, it’s like thinkin Ghostface don’t make great hip hop no more, that’d be foolish, people grow up & tastes change within the artform. As for the shape of the music, its sometimes more important to listen to its content first… I let you judge, but enjoy that selection ta pimp ya ride or at your office…
Comment by donaleski 12.28.10 @Yea 2010 sucked. So i went back to 92…….. I was bumping grand daddy i u. Found out where big l & jay-z got there style from. So like it or not smooth assasin. Im disapointed with the way they did the pimp c album. Redman should get mixtape of the year
