Dude if you call that a good year in hip-hop your ignorant lil’ ass needs to stay inside the house more and listen to all the exceptional music that you have obviously missed. Seriously tho I thought Highlighter was going to be on the list

This was a pretty good year in terms of hip hop, but the majority of it was in the underground in the form of EPs, FreEPs, and mixtape-albums.

My favorites:
Danny Brown – XXX
The Doppelgangaz – Lone Sharks
Actual Proof – The Talented Tenth and Still Hotter in July
Focus…- Music Of The Misinterpreted
Action Bronson – Well Done
Skyzoo – The Great Debater
Curren$y – Covert Coup
Willie Evans Jr- Introducin
Elzhi – Elmatic
Evidence-Cats & Dogs
Maffew Ragazino – Rhyme Pays
The 58′s – 58′s
The Come Up – In Good Hands
ScHoolboy Q – Setbacks
G-Side – iSLAND

1. Common – The Dreamer The Believer
2. Little Dragon – Ritual Union
3. The Roots – Undun
4. The Black Keys – El Camino
5. Theophilus London – Timez Are Weird These Days
6. TV On The Radio – Nine Types Of Light
7. Raekwon – Shaolin Vs Wu Tang
8. J Davey – New Designer Drug
9. SBTRKT – SBTRKT
