I don't listen to a ton of rap/hip-hop, but here is what I enjoyed this year in no particular order:
Killer Mike - R.A.P. Music
Aesop Rock - Skelethon
El-P - Cancer 4 Cure
Nas - Life Is Good
Raekwon - Unexpected Victory Mixtape

I also recommend those Killer Mike and El-P albums.

And:
P.O.S - We Don't Even Live Here
Big K.R.I.T. - 4eva N a Day
Joey Bada$$ - 1999
Billy Woods - History Will Absolve Me
The Gift of Gab - The Next Logical Progression
Ab-Soul - Control System
Schoolboy-Q - Habits and Contradictions
Marijuana Deathsquads - Tamper, Disable, Destroy
Kendrick Lamar - good kid maad city

It didn't necessarily come out this year but the deluxe edition of the album XXX by Danny Brown came out with 3 extra songs that add to an already perfect album. I also recommend any tracks Danny Brown has been on this year, he is unstoppable.

I still need to check out that El-P album, but I can say that this is easily the best year for hip-hop in recent memory

With that said, you've heard so many albums this year that I don't blame you. I started getting promos this year and even though I've heard a lot of new music, I don't make an effort to listen to all of them like you seem to :P

haha, well the radio show is the biggest reason why I check out every single album. But even if I didn't have that I'd still check them out just as much as ever since I was in 8th grade I've been looking for new music constantly.

The bitching last year was really stupid, people just got mad that their favorite albums weren't in the top 5. If Death Grips won I think people would have the right to bitch though.

There's like 5 people that have TMS in a high place. I'm not saying it can't be Top 10, but won't be #1 by a long shot.

I'm with you the bitching last year was fucking ridiculous. I guess people would have the right to bitch if The Money Store won, but I think it's stupid to excessively bitch about the year-end list since it's a group effort and it's a fair voting system.

I think it could break top 10 though.
