Career Over Like Mike(NJJ) · Fri Mar 23, 2012 12:41 pm

It's been a very, very slow year so far after there being far too much music to process last year.

Top 3 :

Gunplay - Jump Out

I listened to Born King Ny 5x today.

My most played songs so far have to be The Don by Nas and Cartoons & Cereal by Kendrick Lamar

Cosign the El P and Serengeti tracks.

Lots of great songs on Schoolboy Q's album, but this has been on a loop in my head for weeks-

Homeboy Sandman has few great songs this year, this one's my favorite. So many great lines-

A prime example of Boldy's excellent wordplay and storytelling-

Collage is my favorite on Grief Pedigree, but since the video was released last year, I'll go with Iron Age-
<object width="420" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/270KJcXrrpo?ve ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/270KJcXrrpo?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="420" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

I didn't love this album, but this song with G Rap is so fucking hard it had to be on this list-
<object width="560" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/H0PqL9gfonE?ve ... ram><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/H0PqL9gfonE?version=3&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

Open Mike Eagle's remix of Nightmares w/ Illogic and MarQ Spekt is definitely on there. Haven't had much time with billy woods' new single "Body of Work", but it's already one of my favs as well.

The Frankest · Post by **The Frankest** » Sat Mar 24, 2012 10:26 am

Only sureshots so far in the 2012:

NAS - THE DON
Napoleon da Legend - Oxygen (ft. Raekwon)
Saigon - Women Are The New Dogs (TR136 remix) (ad-libs by sway and the frankest)

That's a one hot song every one month average... I'm optimistic though with Slaughterhouse starting and Nas on the way, AZ finding a home for the DoD2, etc... Also, new reports state that Dre is in the studio working again (on the Detox project) so who knows what the fuck will happen if that comes out too. What if it comes this year

Raps that wouldve sounded dated in 86 over something that sounds like it should be a beat but just isnt.

Ka is dope lyrically. But the dude like puts no effort into his delivery, he's just speaking them words.
