The Next Hip Hop Album Club Hip Hop Album...Hip Hop
 

Voteeee I included rateyourmusic links to the album so you could all get an idea of what you're voting for. Except on Panacea, because Mrd00d did a little description of it himself. Poll will close in 7 days (after the Earl discussion is over - I realize Earl is going to have gotten more time out of this deal then everyone else but it was just because all this had to get sorted.) After that, I'll post te winner's album and then a new poll. You can nominate new artists to be added in here (and in subsequent poll threads.) I don't care how long the poll gets.

Doomtree "Doomtree"
Chiddy Bang "The Preview"
Viktor Vaughn "Vaudeville Villain"
Charizma and Peanut Butter Wolf "Big Shots"
Macklemore "The Language of My World"
Astronautalis "Pomegranate"
Panacea "Ink is My Drink"

Ah, this is pretty difficult. I was going to go for Doomtree automatically, but the thing is, I like everything about Doomtree except that album. Maybe it's a sum of the parts thing. Astronautalis' Pomegranate hold's special weight with me, because going to see the show where I got it was such an epic event for me. My friend opened up for him, and I got to chat with the dude and get his autograph, not to mention that it was such a great show during a really down part in my life. The album is lyrically genius. And Macklemore of course I nominated, so it'd be weird if I didn't vote for that. Panacea is great. Peanut Butter Wolf is hit or miss for me, to the point that I haven't checked out the nominated album, and won't because I don't feel like wasting my time. I don't know much about the other two.

^stoned rant leads to-- Astronautalis- Pomegranate.

Nominating Pomegranate because I haven't heard it and it looks cool.

Ooh a tie, someone break that shit!

what happens if it stands still at the tie?

I broke that shit. Never heard of either so I flipped a coin.

Am I too late to join this? I haven't voted for any of them because the only one I have heard of is "The Preview", and I'm not the biggest Chiddy Bang fan.

Vote on one that you would like to hear, I think that's the point to vote on one you haven't heard before

Alright so, vote cast on "Big Shots" because I liked the sound of some of the reviews it had on RYM.

Vaudeville Villian is probably the funniest rap album I've ever heard.

Doom is sooooo on point for this album.

Ima call it half hour early and say Viktor wins. I'll post up the new poll tonight.

Are we still doing this hip hop album club? It seems like its died a little.

Yeah we are. This week is still Viktor Vaughn I've been to busy to like critically play the album and I'm on a garage rock kick right now. I swear when I get free time (friday) I'll bump it with a lengthy conversation starter.

I already spun it a few times I just wanted to wait to do a good write up... XD

I'm a procrastinator...

I'm wondering, is your avatar the band logo for atomship?

It's the image on the stickers of the experimental metal band Nuclear Rabbit from Northern California... it is a band logo, though. I think their main logo was

but he's a bit big for an avatar...

^ he's pretty bad ass, reminds me of USAGI YOGIMBO, bunny samurai WARRIOR!

Looks badass as well... wonder what Usagi could do if ... he got all radiated... and one of his arms became a giant fork....

Thread hijack complete.

Percee P- Perseverance
Jean Grae- Jeanius

I nominate:

Gift of Gab's Supreme Lyricism (2006)

El-P's Fantastic Damage (2002)
http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...LcUsBQXgezKlHQ

(free download from his bandcamp)

Fantastic Damage is sick. Good choice.

Alopecia is a solid choice as well...

that percee p album sucked, he raps the same on every song.

I'm down with fantastic damage, checking out that del album, never even heard of it.

It was a free album he put out to kinda stir some **** and vent aggression. My take on it, if you listen to his words, is that it's a "Dear Fans" album. It's a challenge to the listener. Get It Right Now is one of my favorite tracks, despite the completely abrasive car alarm beat. It's no Both Sides of the Brain, or anything like his older works. But it's still Sir Diesel.

I'm listening to it right now, he sounds pretty aggressive which is a plus for me.

I honestly haven't cared for much of Dels non-Deltron stuff, not from a lack of trying though.

So how should we do this? Should we take the remaining albums from the first poll and add them to the second, or should we start over with a completely new list? I'm down for whatever you guys want to do.

It's better than lil B.

I don't like the Lil B hate on here. I'm gonna go to RYM where his talent is appreciated :P

Altight, I'm just gonna take initiative and create the new poll tomorrow or the day after. I will include all of the previous nominations as well as the newer ones.
