We had a whole lot of superstars on this stage here tonight. But this is… Papoose's house? We're all still reeling that the 20th anniversary of Hip-Hop's Super Bowl featured the Nacirema Dream as a headliner. Damn you Kendrick Lamar and your generous ways. Yeah it's hip-hop to bum rush the show but c'mon Pap you know you didn't deserve that look. And you gave even less fucks by performing a new song. C'mon fam. You've paid a lot of dues through the years but this was the big dawg time in the program. Don't disrespect the game in your pursuit for fame. Oh well, Brooklyn took it.
Speaking of BK, Fab had a master plan of bringing Lil Kim and Foxy Brown back together again. But when it was time to make history, Fox Boogie was nowhere to be found. Where was you at? Wack.
So… disgracing yourself and your company with a week of shameless attention-grabs and traffic-boosters really works, huh?
nice
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$AP Rocky not on one but, outside that 2011 was clearly a great year…
A$AP obviously doesn’t run as much advertising money through RapRadar as, say, Wiz Khalifa.
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…
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!
Album of the year : WC – Revenge of the Barracuda
50 cents mix tape was horrible…
Lupes fotp was loaded with real life material, meda4z, lyrics and doesn’t even get mentioned…wow…
No “undun” by The Roots on either the underrated or best albums of the year list……fail.
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.
wale is all over this list. finaly getting recognized
I still don’t understand how you didn’t even mention RED Nation on any of these lists…
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..
i liked wale album more than any other on this list
Is it worse to be a pointless hater, or someone who pointlessly hates haters?
#ConfuciusWasHere
[...] Read the rest of this great post here [...]
lol. meek mill best mixtape?……naaahhhh
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.
It’s rediculous that undun wasn’t on the best album list…
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.
RR taking MMG dickriding to levels never witnessed before in the history of man…
i thought Fabolous – Soul Tape was up there.
Niggaz say they’re ditching this site and shit but rapradar is their damn homepage…smh
Ross Radar ughhhhh, rozay must be paying good money.
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?
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.
Bonobo knows the REAl BEST GUEST was NAS on outro
@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
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.
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…
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 ???
Still riding them dicks huh
RR IS A COMMERCIAL HIP HOP SITE
THE OWNER IS A 40 YEAR OLD MAN WHO IS ON WILLIAMS PAYROLL
Just like me huh
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

Anybody else see Elliot Wilson laughing at y’all? I’d applaud him but my hands are tied. If you can’t beat them…
Oh ok now I see why everybody on 2dopeboyz yesterday was trashing this site.
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.
Haha they trash this site on another site but they come back to this site…what a bunch of two faces
ok so MMG akbum gets ranked higher than section80 and cole world?…fuck it i give up
Fuck ya all! Stupid americans u take hip hop so serious!just listen and enjoy!get a life,the lists r ok!the site is ok too!u hate it?leave it!its simple!i hope when ya die hip hop will save ya from hell,lol u niggas r hip hop slaves.
A mid finger from egypt.bye
Game – Purp & Patron best mixtape
Game – Red Album should be in the top 10
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….
what a horrible list
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
@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.
