| Urine's Top 10 Hip-hop Albums Of 2010
My top 10 Hip-Hop Albums of 2010. list was made with love | | 10 |  | Gorillaz
Plastic Beach
Yes i consider this a hip-hop album. Even with a few non hip-hop features, this is still an excellent album. A diverse range of sounds meet together under a coat of retro, 80's-pop sounds. Damon Albarn has excellent vocals here and Some of the guest features are excelent, ranging from one of Snoop's best verses in years to Mos Def's chill liadback vibe to the outright Grime weirdness coming from Bashy and Kano. An excellent album that should've been popular all year instead of for the short time it had | | 9 |  | The Roots
How I Got Over
Excellent, funky, jammy, decent rapping as well, etc., etc.. This album is just too damn good | | 8 |  | Dark Time Sunshine
Vessel
This took fucking indie-rap and turned it inside out. Nice, hip-hop beats with roots in rock and soul as well as electronica and excellent rapping typical of the indie-rap genre. A masterpiece of its itme. | | 7 |  | Yelawolf
Trunk Muzik (mixtape)
Definitely my favorite new rapper. He has the most unique flow i can think of coming out of the south right now and he appeals to fans of lyricism while keeping a slick, well-produced sound that appeaks to the mainstream kids. Yela takes his Alabamian, White-trash stereotypes and redirects them back in the face of potential critics, taking his flows and turing them into a craft of epic proportions. Pretty damn good for a mix tape | | 6 |  | KiD CuDi
Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager
I admit, i didn't enjoy the first Man on the Moon. I thought Cudi was a talentless hack. Then i realized his music wasn't made to appeal to fans of rapping, hell it's just Hip-Hop for stoners. It's the perfect soundtrack to getting stoned with psychedelic sounds and really slow tempos coming out of Cudi. This is the perfect soundtrack for getting high and thats why it makes this list. | | 5 |  | Mellowhype
BLACKENEDWHITE
And now for the 1-2 Odd Future punch, Mellowhype really put out an excellent release this year. Left Brain is pretty innovative with his beats, making wonky, spacy, out of this world sounds. Hodgy compliments them perfectly with a nice Wiz Khalifa-esque sound and of course, great lyrics. A truly exceptional Release | | 4 |  | Earl Sweatshirt
EARL
You all saw this Coming. Odd Future really are the best new rap to come out since the Wu-Tang Clan. Despite the claims of not being horrorcore, EARL is pretty much horrorcore at its nastiest. Drawing inspiration from The Slim Shady Lp he puts nasty, violent lyrics on top o fuzzy, wonked out, Neptunes-on-acid-esque beats. Earl definitely has a future for being a 16 year old who can rap so well | | 3 |  | Big Boi
Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty
Album was close to being album of the year until Kanye West came. Big Boi revitalized himself as a performer and showed that he could be just as interesting a member of Outkast as Andre 3000 was. Southern Beats ride fast flows and good-time lyrics | | 2 |  | Celph Titled and Buckwild
Nineteen Ninety Now
Celph and Buck brought a brand new concept to Hip-Hop music, using old-school beats from 94-95 and lacing new raps over them. Buckwild brought back Jazzy horn squeals and haunting basslines and put them under brand new raps. Celph holds up his part as well with masterful punchlines and his most relaxed flow in well, ever. | | 1 |  | Kanye West
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
Kanye West got really Eccentric and decided to defy the boundaries of Hip-Hop with a cast of eclectic guests and other unique Features. From King Crimson-sampling to doing tracks with Bon Iver and Gil-Scott Heron, Kanye crafted a masterpiece. Here's to his next album with Jay-z | |
Urinetrouble
12.14.10 | Fuck Recovery | Maniac!
12.14.10 | I would have loved 1, had it not been for my hatred of kanyes flow | JustJoe.

12.14.10 | what haven't you heard^ | JustJoe.
12.14.10 | I agree, Urinetrouble. I've not been too enamored with this year's hip-hop as a whole, to be honest. | Urinetrouble
12.14.10 | 1-5 and 7 are definitely my overall favorites. Next year should be better for music in general. New Raekwon, Dre, possible D-12 and Bad Meets Evil, Etc. | qwe3
12.14.10 | i havent heard 2 or yelawolf. i like yela but havent gotten round to him | qwe3
12.14.10 | d-12 is pretty bad | JustJoe.
12.14.10 | I'll keep my ears open and listen/re-listen to those albums you mentioned. Thanks, Urinetrouble. | Urinetrouble
12.14.10 | Qwe, if you listen to their newest songs 2008-2010 they've really improved except for bizarre. Yelawolfs mixtape is so much fun, don't get the 0-60 version though, it lacks some songs.
Justjoe, i think you'll enjoy them | MUNGOLOID
12.14.10 | curious about 7. | illmitch
12.14.10 | how is taking old beats and rapping over them something new to hip hop | Urinetrouble
12.14.10 | @illmitch, i've never heard a full album of 90s beats(unused) from one producer with new raps over them | Inveigh
12.14.10 | this list is pretty excellent (from what I've heard) except for Cudi :)

12.14.10 | Am I the only one that finds Kanye's voice/flow annoying? | greg84

12.14.10 | i listened to the Black Milk one it was great. Never heard of the other one | Hawks
12.14.10 | Downloading 4 right now. Wooooo! | Inveigh
12.14.10 | yeah I've never liked Cudi. his new one's better than the first Man on the Moon imo, but neither are good.

12.14.10 | bizarre is one of the worst rappers ever. didnt he make one song about raping a kid | Urinetrouble
12.14.10 | Not a fan of Talib Kweli, but i'll try it. Hi-tek is pretty good | Hawks
12.14.10 | Bizarre talked about fucking his own sister in Amityville on The Marshall Mathers LP. He's fucked up. | qwe3
12.14.10 | nah thats not the one im talking about. i think it was recently. hes so fucking bad | Hawks
