[...] it a lot with Rappin 4 Money getting a majority of play. I was also reminded about it when I sawnoz’s 09 list mention it. It really is a great track that just brings some of that enegry of greenthink tapes but [...]

fuck this is all trash…. Gucci Mane should be nowhere near this list. His lyrics are absolute shit, and his beats are crafted with little to no expertise. If this is the top hip hop for this year, we should start jumping ship.

Noz,

Give Roach Gigz another try he’s gassin. In the next few weeks he has a tape with Messy Marv coming out. He’s making the most exciting music out of the bay right now.

What about I’m A Dog by Lil Boosie? That song is top 100.

So having been overseas and not paying attention to hip-hop seriously since ‘07, I gotta admit I’m confused and am looking for answers to a few perplexing questions:

1) Why do people find Gucci Mane a good artist? I can’t find anything good about him. In my mind, he’s the second-worst artist of the decade, after T-Pain.

2) How come so many songs are focused on the club scene? I guess since I have zero interest in clubbing, listening to lyrics about being up in the club and getting drunk and taking chicks home doesn’t appeal to me. But where’s the diversity?

3) Why doesn’t anyone consider “Death of Autotune” the hottest record of the year? Both the lyrics and the beats, that was my favorite jam of the year by far. It’s an instant classic to me.

I just discovered I can neatly plot my dwindling enthusiasm for hip-hop using NOZ’s best-of-year lists. Below are the numbers of song per year I’ve even heard, regardless of whether I hate or love them. Sad. The one this year is Purse Come First, which I only heard because I’m an inveterate UGK fan. But I preferred Harry Asshole and Game Been Good to Me to Purse Comes First, even if the latter was pretty much a remake of Game Belongs to Me.

Starlito’s new tape with Burn One might be the best thing he’s released all year.

So “No Hoe (remix)” fills the spot for the song you champion early in the year during a dry spell that I really like that winds up near-topping my year end best list an absent from yours? I’m still shocked you left out “Look back At Me” last year.

Good list, particularly considering this has been the least interesting year for rap music since you started this site. How was that Busdriver album?
