Nosaj Thing - (Title Unknown)

Yeah this album will be the future backdrop for the now male dominant Xanadu™ wave. Meaning all your favorite ambient beat makers will be returning to the lab to find new and creative ways to work dem pads. Or maybe they'll just fall back to being the 'drummer' in the indie band. Meanwhile "MC's" will be rushing out to find new bitches to write dem raps for. In other words there'll be plenty immitators but all will pale by comparison.

LOL at mofo's looking for throwback boom bap. Don't yall know the modes of snapping necks has moved on. Well if you've finally given up hope on that Primo Nas album perhaps you're ready to step into beat shit that gets you amped like throwing on M.O.P.'s Warriors.

Speaking of quiet, he's been quite that of late. But fear not cause yeah, this one will be his opus. I ain't heard shit but it's coming (likely fall). I'm predicting beatier, with a lot more twists and turns than meets the eye.

08 was the weakest/least memorable of those years to me. 2007 was def memorable for hip hop for me though.

i don't have my music collection on hand, but the ones that jump out immediately are:
Lil Wayne - Tha Carter III
Portishead - Third
The Verve - Forth
Flying Lotus - Los Angeles
Autechre - Quaristice
Invincible - Shapeshifters
Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)
Santogold - Santogold
The Game - LAX
Nine Inch Nails - Ghosts I-IV
The Roots - Rising Down
Kanye West - 808s & Heartbreak

and if they count (U.S. physical releases):
Radiohead - In Rainbows
Saul Williams - The Inevitable Rise And Liberation Of NiggyTardust!

or do you just not want to hear a different opinion than your own?

of course everything is qualified with the subjective for me, so sure i respect it as your opinion, but i think you as the original post and the upping hints at, create this reality. nothing i can do about it.

if there were STELLAR albums released this year i would be thrilled and readily admit it. i am not catering to my own prediction, it just *is* reality, at least so far.

Lotus already has an opus though, it was Los Angeles and than he followed it with a better opus Cosmogramma, I've read your thoughts on Cosmogramma and disagree.

new Elucid is always a good thing... imma listen to that stream to get an idea or what they're doing

top LP contenders IMO will be Shafiq's In The Loop, Killer Mike & El-P's RAP Music, and El's Cancer For Cure... and honestly with that second song Nas gots my hopes up again, lol

Saw them on the tour for Bitte Orca and they tore it up, super funky bassist, all them chicks can sang, Longstreth (sp?) is a very creative guitarist. They got an album to be released this Spring, I'm expecting something amazing.

I also think Kendrick and Krit's next albums will both be classics, but I'm just an optimistic dude.

despite awesome cover art full length is just ok (ie won't be getting the vinyl). would be a lot better if her vocals weren't so up front. the ep though, it's got the joints.

Personally I was disappointed in "Los Angeles" but liked "Pattern+Grid World" but "P+GW" just an EP anyways, but I'm really hoping he will go back to what he did on "P+GW" & "1983" even though almost everyone in the wonky sub-genre basically ripped that style off but I know only Flylo can take his own sound further to a better height than his producer followers can.
