Need to give more love to new Game and Big Boi, only spun them a few times each. Not sure if I can say the latter is >>> Sir Lucious at this point like a lot of others have. As for Jesus Piece, having less songs may mean less filler (where R.E.D. had plenty), but it's also got less standout tracks, too. Still good overall.

Tip, on the other hand, put a product that's hardly any better than No Mercy, which is what I expected.

Funny that Kendrick cites LIG as his favorite for the year, since the love for that album seemed to diminish not too long before his album dropped.

Am I the only one who thought DMX singing Rudolph wasn't funny? /Scrooge

I don't mean to be a dick, I just saw this and thought it was great. Danny Brown news is too amazing and "Back 2 Ballin" is one of the catchiest tracks in the past few months.

and nas' LIG was in my top 3 albums in july, barely made my 10 in december, haha.

still need to listen to trouble man. i've been on a 'no fucks to give' front for him though.

To be fair, who WOULD have known Kendrick would've gotten as big as he has?

LIG is either gonna barely make or miss my Top 5, it seems. I think you'll like a handful of songs of TM:HitH. Namely the last two songs and some of the first ones. Nothing as awesome as (Andre's verse on) Sorry, though.
