that year goes like 30 deep on GREAT albums, even typically average dudes like Chip tha Ripper put out pure fire, and there were a lot of cool new voices emerging like Scotty, Stalley, Bronson, A$AP Rocky, Kendrick plus dudes coming into their peaks like KRIT, Drake, Blu, Mikey Rocks, Saigon, Danny Brown, Co$$, G-Side.

very awesome year.

2009 and 2013 also made my top 10 (I didn't do reviews/lists last year, basically dropped music for podcasts to be honest. Getting back into this spring.)
