    So… disgracing yourself and your company with a week of shameless attention-grabs and traffic-boosters really works, huh?

  2. 2012 says:

    What A Great Year 2011 Was, To Make The Top 10 In Any Of These Lists (The good ones at least) Should be a blessing To These artists…. Only Thing I Was Confused about Was A$AP Rocky not on one but, outside that 2011 was clearly a great year…

  3. @2012 says:

    A$AP obviously doesn’t run as much advertising money through RapRadar as, say, Wiz Khalifa.

  4. deez says:

    funny how you put all those shady artists on there…yellowwolf has the most underated album? yea fuking right more like overrated…and garbage..
    this is a prime example of why you should never trust this blog…this and the fact that even tho you hate 50/gunit your too SCARED to say it…

  5. RINGOLEVIO says:

    Looks a a recount of Popular post even the bad ones on RR blog the ones the got the most views.

    I like the best mixatpes list super cool.
    Not sure about the best album list but it’s alright.

    Worse album list are really lame like the razies that’s hater shit should not belong on RR.
    But you post about those releases all the time then bitch it’s on the radio. HA!

  6. R&G says:

    Album of the year : WC – Revenge of the Barracuda

  7. Tokyo Tony says:

    50 cents mix tape was horrible…

    Lupes fotp was loaded with real life material, meda4z, lyrics and doesn’t even get mentioned…wow…

  8. p. dom says:

    No “undun” by The Roots on either the underrated or best albums of the year list……fail.

  9. RINGOLEVIO says:

    Why dream of the top when Hip hop is from the bottom.

    even if jigga got there don’t mean you can trust is moves.

    The music is great for sure but exploiting is not a good thing or to be part of a network of exploiters.

    Half of the number ones on these list are called a gift like the same reason the biz is corrupt they alway’s give the money to the same artist like the corrupt goverment grants., his biz is a shame but the music is great. ;) but now it’s free music so we rich forever also with are downloads…this place smells like to much money not enough sharing.

  10. sid says:

    wale is all over this list. finaly getting recognized

  11. hunnid says:

    I still don’t understand how you didn’t even mention RED Nation on any of these lists…

  12. Man says:

    All you dumbasses do is talk shit about this website..if u dont like it leave…you guys are a bunch of hypocrites…or what?? You guys don’t have any things else to do but post hating comments?? The ones that reply and get butthurt to this are the ones who I’m talking to..

  13. fu says:

    i liked wale album more than any other on this list

  14. Internet Philosophy says:

    Is it worse to be a pointless hater, or someone who pointlessly hates haters?

    #ConfuciusWasHere

  15. fu says:

    lol. meek mill best mixtape?……naaahhhh

  16. Shipwreckdakota says:

    all these guys hating on YN’s lists, but you on his siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiite.
    I don’t agree with every part of the list either, but these aren’t MY lists, these are RAPRADARs lists. No one’s going to agree 100%. Learn, live, grow.

  17. Mic says:

    It’s rediculous that undun wasn’t on the best album list…

  18. Rap radar fucked the whole MMG says:

    MMG makes every list
    Ambition better than TM103? Fuck outta here!
    Self made better than section .80?
    Who ever made this list doesn’t know shit and should be death.

  19. JJ says:

    RR taking MMG dickriding to levels never witnessed before in the history of man…

  20. owww says:

    i thought Fabolous – Soul Tape was up there.

  21. Smoke screen says:

    Niggaz say they’re ditching this site and shit but rapradar is their damn homepage…smh

  22. 2dopeboyz says:

    Ross Radar ughhhhh, rozay must be paying good money.

  23. Matt says:

    About 95% of these posts are trashing your list, including this one. When EVERYONE thinks you’re wrong, you’re not right. Isn’t it time to put your face in the “you played yourself” section or address this?

  24. Got that blog money baby, i can show money baby, i can blow money baby. Shout out to all the haters, still the number one blog and we getting that green.

  25. Bonobo says:

    Bonobo knows the REAl BEST GUEST was NAS on outro

  26. Man says:

    @matt this list is him giving OPINIONS on what HE thinks is the worst and best…you can never be wrong or right on giving opinions especially when it comes to music…the only reason they post a lot of MMG on here is because they are the only one putting in work

  27. MUSIC_FEIN says:

    The one that gets me the most is Eminem’s “Throw It Up” verse being on the “Best Guest Verses” list. I was a huge Em fan as a kid like most of us were……..but shit like this getting labeled “Best Guest Verses” lol thats a fail.

  28. LKBZ says:

    I’m perfectly aware that RR have a huge grudge against Game, madly hatin’ on him, but:

    The R.E.D. Album should’ve been in the Best albums list

    And

    Purp & Patron should’ve been in the Best mixtaper list…

  29. fried rice and soy sauce says:

    Lets be real here tho, aside from the subjective opinions an all, i think its fair to say there being a lil too biased when it comes to mmg. Wale top albums really ?? Self made top 5 ???

  30. The Guy says:

    Still riding them dicks huh

  31. Jamel says:

    RR IS A COMMERCIAL HIP HOP SITE

    THE OWNER IS A 40 YEAR OLD MAN WHO IS ON WILLIAMS PAYROLL

  32. The Guy says:

    Just like me huh

  33. Good Guy Greg says:

    Most Slept on Mixtape of the Year: #1 Sean Rose & Gilbere Forte – SUMMERTIME SUNSHINE NIGHTFALL – http://indy.livemixtapes.com/mixtapes/14167/sean_rose_gilbere_forte_summertime_sunshine_nightfall.html

  36. Mauri says:

  37. Kevin says:

    Oh ok now I see why everybody on 2dopeboyz yesterday was trashing this site.

  38. ColoradoKnight says:

    AP: Mercedes Benz has announced the discontinuation of the Maybach. In related news, the music industry has decided to follow suit and discontinue Rick Ross and MMG.

  39. Powpowpow says:

  40. Dman says:

  42. shieet says:

    Game – Purp & Patron best mixtape
    Game – Red Album should be in the top 10

  43. Wow says:

    This list pretty much ruined your credibility as a review blog….balls deep in Rick Ross drake team, like a boss…. What a joke, at leat tech nine was 5th on a list…..love quick but that album was balls….

  44. ppppp says:

    what a horrible list

  45. Chris Searl says:

    Damn RR y’all are losing some respect… I’m a little dissapointed you didn’t take the opportunity to make these lists more detailed… Alot of questionable choices

  46. cheddar bob, BITCH says:

    @hunnid because RED album sucked fucking balls all over the place. Being loaded with top dollar producers and features doesn’t make a good album. It was shit. Pure unadulerated, name-drop ridden shit.
