Don't get me wrong it was a fantastic album, but If you guys truly think TMTYL was the best akbum so far this year, you really need to expand outside of Strange Music a little. To each their own I suppose.

Reks - Straight, No Chaser

and,

Bumpy Knuckles & DJ Premier - Kolexxxion

Schoolboy Q - Habits & Contradictions was dope as hell. 

Wont be album of the year material, but A$AP Rockys album should be dope.

Kendricks solo Good Kids In A Mad City should be great.

Also looking forward to Ab-Souls upcoming album Control System dropping the 11th.

Godfathers by Kool G & Necro looks promising.

Really can't wait for R.A. The Rugged Mans Legends Never Die.

REBELutionary by Reks & Numonics will be nice. Reks has been killin it.

Skelethon by Aseop Rock will be nice.

Mourning In America & Dreaming In Color by Brother Ali will be dope.

Act II: Patents of Nobility by Jay Electonica (If it actually drops) will be the most hyped album of the year, so hyped that it can probably never live up to it, but can still be an instant classic.

And it probably wont happen, but an album by Earl Sweatshirt would be amazing. That kid has more potential than anyone in the game. 

But, I'm predicting Life's Good by Nas will be the album of the year.

Lots of good shit coming out this year. Legends are dropping shit, and balance is finally returning back to Hip-Hop with all these young cats. Don't confine yourself to just Strange releases.

So far... I loved Mayday but I have got to give it to The Deevil. My favorite album of 2012 so far.

Well if Chamillionaire's Ammunition EP counts I'll say that, but if not TMTYL or Strange Clouds, although neither one was particularly strong imo.

 

Pretty weak showing so far, but it should be getting a lot better. Krizz Kaliko, Chamillionaire, Fabolous, T.I., Ludacris, Frank Ocean, Serj Tankian, Lupe Fiasco (i'm skeptical) are all planning on dropping albums this year. Probably more I'm forgetting, but hopefully those ones drop at least.

Immortal Technique's Middle Passage is coming out this year. I'm going to say that will be album of the year easily

"Who the fuck is irv da phenom" I just downloaded it from itunes last night. This is the hardest shit out right now. He is actually talking about something in his music. 2 thinks about this album are fucking me up. (in a good way)

1. I kind of expected it to be Irv just trying to rap really fast like he does on all the strange stuff, (i like it but i think he should leave doing it all the time to tech.) instead irv switched up his flow. he has so many styles. DOPE.

2. Irv really showcased his singing voice on this album. i'd heard him on a few strange hooks, but imo his singing on the album blows those away. he has grown alot since K.O.D.
