I really can't think of my favorite album of the year but J. Cole - A Nigga From the Ville and The Cool Kids - Tacklebox were two really good mixtapes

I'm looking for your favorite album, or maybe some tracks, from 2010. Period.

I'm also hoping this John Legend & The Roots collaboration album is good.

Don't know if you've ever listened to XV, but he released his new Mixtape. I've always been a fan of XV.

XV - Vizzy Zone (Deluxe Edition) - Listen and Download

Edit: Also, almost forgot that the new Atmosphere is pretty nice, as well.

Deltron 3030's new album is finally suppose to drop this year, then again it's been suppose to since like 06' lol, hopefully it lives up to what I'm expecting when it finally gets released. I know it will. Del's got such amazing flow. Anyway, keep your eye out for that one.

Also, if you've never heard the first one check it out, Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030. Its not the normal lyrical content you'd expect for rap. Its actually a concept type album set in the future year, 3030.

Try these:

Shad

Flobots

Aesop Rock

Asher Roth (I know I know.. He's changed)

Ohh and a good up and coming rapper is JAYMAN.

When your in the clubbin' mood, or a party mood, listen to I like the way she do it by 50 Cent w/ G Unit. That sh*t's Legit

Also, if you've never listened to Boots Riley/The Coup, shame on you.

Not really clear on who I'm recommending this to but this is great.

You can consider it a recommendation to me. After reading/hearing your post I DLd both of their mixtapes and I literally have not stopped listening to them since.

The interesting part is that after a couple songs I had written them off as sort of a novelty rap act that I expected to turn off soon and probably never listen to again. But by then I was enraptured - couldn't/can't stop listening. Thanks!
