    ^^ lol 50…
    surprised you gave Big Sean some love.
    that’s what’s up

  2. -_- says:

    Eminem number 4?……….FUCK OFF

  3. Real Talk says:

    SMH at Future ranked higher than Jay Electronica. Good to see you didn’t include 50 or Lil Wayne, though.

  4. Word up says:

    No Lil Wayne album… You ain’t say shit.

  5. jjj says:

    Meh, kinda disappointed Drake was #1 for you.
    But i’m ready for Eminem, I hope he delivers.

  6. Donn says:

    I agree, Drake is dominating the sales for HipHop. And with quality. I’m a Kanye and Jay fan but Idk Drake, Cole, Kanye and Jay are my most anticipated albums in terms of HipHop

  7. Dog The Bounty Hunter says:

    Terrible list and i wouldn’t call Drake hip hop

    Yo Elliott next time your at home bored and don’t know what to do, Please don’t do another one.

  8. the One says:

    Big Sean in top 5 ???lol what a joke… Somebody is definitely getting kick back money!!!

  9. Fitz G says:

    Should’ve had 50 and Jeezy albums on there

  10. Trinidad iAMrealTalk says:

    IM SICK OF THIS FUNNY FACE ASS NIGGA

    U DONT EVER TELL THE TRUTH ..ITS ALWAYS BOUT WHOEVER PAYROLL UR ON

  11. Weezy says:

    I Am Not A Human Being 2- Lil Wayne

  12. JustMyOpinion says:

    Kanye, Pusha T, Jay-Z, Rick Ross, J. Cole, Big Sean and Eminem.

    You could’ve saved the rest of the list.

    Did this dude say FUTURE, who is really T-PAIN reincarnated? Smh

  13. Kobe says:

    Just last week you were “playing” Wayne’s new single and his album didn’t make the list YN. You really believe people checking for Pusha T more than Wayne and 50? Or you’re being biased because its on Jay-Z’s channel? Weak YN you should do better

  14. It's the roc says:

    Is this list in order? Because if if is it doesn’t make sense. First off, there’s no way Em isn’t #1. And second, how can Future be so far ahead of J.Cole? Sure he’s big now and people rock to his singles, but who anticipates his albums? He’s more of a singles artist.

  15. Professor Oak says:

    Big Sean is a fucking CLOWN ASS RAPPER….I can’t believe people fuck with his little kid ass verses.

    Jay Electronica album is NEVER COMING OUT.

  16. Scrilla[MTV's 2012 Hottest MC's in the game, Young Jeezy in 1st place]] says:

    No Jeezy album no Weezy album? Elliot are you stupid, retarded, or dumb? Them the best rappers alive

  17. @Artise1 says:

    How are you going to leave off 50 Cents Street King Immortal. Half the niggas are waiting so it can come out and fail.
    The other half are waiting to come out so they can cop it.
    It will out sell Future, J. Cole, JayZ Electronica, and Rick Ross. So how is it not on here?

  18. Kaybee says:

    Fuck it, no neck tie party

  19. @Artise1 says:

    and where is Schoolboy Q?

  20. Main Man says:

    LIL WAYNE belong on that list.

  21. cfbny says:

    lol

    big sean is wack as fuck

  22. attaboy says:

    I don’t see anyone really wanting or needing a Jay Z album…. the others are mostly whack, but that’s where HIP HOP is for now, but YN you gotta keep it a litte realer… but then we don’t know who’s your boss

  23. Capricorn Religion says:

    Future?…. Pusha T?…. Big Sean?…. No. Respect to Pusha, and I’m just starting to like Sean but, NO…

    As far as the top 4 go

    Eminem-Favorite Rapper/Artist. But, as far as this album goes, its going to be tricky. Along with Jay because my main question still remains. . . . “Now what do you talk about?”….

    As far as Drake an Kanye are concern, they should be alright. They still have a bunch of Concepts they can toy around with but, “Can Drake top Take Care, and can Kanye top My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy?”….. Eh, I don’t know

  24. Barb says:

    You forgot the queen, Nicki Minaj. Pink Friday: The Pinkprint Coming 2013. Don’t NOT put it on the list then eat it up for hits once it comes out.

  25. NEM says:

    1 year later… Em released his project. Outsold every other artist on the list. Possibly the top5 combined …
    .
    #4. lol.

  26. 587 says:

    yelawolf love story shoulda been on there along wit tech n9nes new album

  27. Kilt says:

    Switch Drake and Jay Electronica’s positions and the list is on point….

  28. koO says:

    Jay Elec in 10th? trololol

  29. It's the roc says:

    @Barb

    Hahaha the Pinkprint. Classic!

  30. a$ap rocky says:

    afuckingsappppp!! the end.

  31. Stephen says:

    YN i watch, usually agree & love your opinion everytime you do the truth, but im waay on the other side about prolly 3/4ths of this list. there is absolutely no way that HipHop wants an album from Drake more then they want an album from Jay, Kanye or Eminem. period. Drake is good but straight up cmon. On that same note of hiphop wanting an album, Future at #6? before J.Cole, Common, Lil Wayne, or Jay Electronica.. whaaaat? You should rename this shit to the 10 most anticipated Artists by radio stations of 2013

  32. hage says:

    Drake isn’t even hiphop idiots. also where the fuck is 50 cent lol.

  33. BuxDaGreat says:

    im personally awaiting fab new album and also juelz

  34. deez says:

    most of these albums people aren’t anticipating at all actually, same old dumb shit from 60% of the list, jay electronica’s debut should be nothing short of a masterpiece honestly tho…

  35. Early to the Party says:

    Jay Elect? Yeah I wanna hear it but I’, not holding my breath. Pusha T? Yeah..I’d check for that. Jay? Ehhh…he’s done enough already..I’m sure it would be at least decent. Em? Yeah..he’ll have a few anthemic hits on it but I’d only wanna hear him going crazy. If the album isn’t that then fuck it. The rest of your list blows.

  36. Kenny's Dominos says:

    nobody checking for a 50 cent album

  37. datdude says:

    no earl/tyler?

    not ridin, but sweatshirt and tyler joint album gonna kill it

  38. deez says:

    LMFAOOOO did yalll catch the original look on this dudes face when he first said “Drake”….

  39. Evil says:

    Drake at nr 1 is a total scandal and bad look for Hip Hop,cos the guy aint no hip hop!
    If Drakes album is the most to look forward too in 2013,hip hop is in a very bad shape,thats for damn sure.

    Im personally looking forward to Jay Z,Eminem,50 Cent (he has something to prove) Tech N9ne and Yelawolf.

  40. ezylyfe says:

    this is bull shit no 50 cent …no school boy q …That aint no truth

  41. luxuryrap says:

    Elliott…how you gon put FUTURE above PUSHA-T…and DRAKE above KANYE WEST AND JAY-Z?!?!? WTF…and I usally agree with you…

  42. young says:

    The most anticipated album will be the jeezy/TI collabo, period.

  43. ARKO says:

    Man this list was SCHWAG CITY! Who even knows if Em, ‘Ye or Jay will drop albums. Big Sean, Future, and Drake over COLE? Ha! You crazy!

  44. HOVA says:

    This list was real. I am more of a Kanye West fan, but I have to be real, Drake has to have the most anticipating project this year.

  45. Kaybee says:

    I was look forward to see Freddie Gibbs in there..

  46. Drops says:

    AFTER 2 BACK TO BACK FLOP SINGLES WITH HUGE FEATURES WHY WOULD ANYBODY CARE ABOUT A 50 ALBUM THO?? NOBODY CHECKIN FOR HIS MUSIC IF HE NOT BEEFING WITH ANYBODY …HIP HOP NEEDS ANOTHER NAS ALBUM ASAP THO
