Finally got on to Facebook, already listed some of the overlooked albums I liked, so now I'll just list some albums I liked:
Sunbather, mbv, 1017 Thug, Trap House III, Legacy, Modern Vampires of the City, The Ol' Soul EP, Shaking the Habitual, Meir, Acid Rap, Sunday School 2, 20/20 Experience, The Man Who Died in His Boat, Abandon, Trouble Will Find Me.
holy shit where is the south? two OutKast songs, A UGK feature, and a Geto Boys track is not nearly enough. One Day? I Seen A Man Die? International Playas Anthem? Doobie Ashtray?
I mean I don't really expect anything too modern out of Rolling Stone, but at least an acknowledgement that southern rap is important would be nice.
but what about premature evaluations?
actually these aren't all positive, and I personally hate #1 and don't care much for some of the others, but some of the most hyped-up albums are all over here.
