’11 Best Albums: #9 Young Jeezy TM103: Hustlerz Ambition

Jeezy back! Man, it took a long time to get Young’s fourth album but he really came through victorious in the fourth quarter with the fourth highest first week sales of any rap album in 2011. How’d he do that? By keeping that trap music to the forefront and rounding up a gang of guests to help him reach that goal. Hov and 3 Stacks help craft this year’s player’s anthem (“I Do”). A fresh out of jail T.I. rides […]

’11 Worst Albums: #1 Gucci Mane & V-Nasty BAYTL

We knew what we were getting ourselves into before opening this CD, but this is even worse than you can imagine. Out on bail, fresh out of jail, the first thing Gucci does is…. Randomly lock himself in the studio to create a joint album with Kreayshawn’s White Girl Mob affiliate, V-Nasty. You made the wrong call.

Respect due to Snoop for releasing free music each and every Tuesday for months. We enjoy that type of stuff on these Internets. But when he finally released his eleventh album Doggumentary, it did more than disappoint. This might be the worst edition to the Dogg’s legendary catalog.

Kelly was far from even sounding […]

’11 Best Singles: #2 DJ Khaled Ft. Drake x Rick Ross & Lil Wayne “I’m On One”

It is safe to say, Khaled Khaled knows how to make a hit. With T-Minus, 40, and Kromatik handling the production duties, Khaled rounded up three of the game’s top MCs for this summer’s undisputed anthem. On the slow-rolling instrumental, Drake sets the tone showcasing his vocals. Don’t get it twisted though. Drizzy gets back on his rap shit before setting up Rozay, who then later passes the baton to Tunechi for the final stretch. Still and all, it’s Aubrey’s […]
