So I only have one LP pick for 2012. What have I missed?

Album:

Singles shortlist is difficult this year... nothing exceptional stands out, but good ones have been

Niama Makalou Et African Soul Band ?????? Kognokoura (Daphni's Part 2 edit)
Mos Def ?????? Umi Says (Falty DL remix) unreleased bootleg though :waaambulance:
Jacques Greene ?????? Dakou digital only :WHYMUSTICRY:
Sir Own ?????? Hooked (Kon edit) :beerbang:

this is the strongest sophmore album i can think of


incredible release
 
Predictable choice, I realise, but right up until this dropped I'd have gone with the Ab-Soul album.

Kendrick gets single of the year, too.

Still putting my Best of 2012 List together...having a hard time deciding on full length between Ab Soul, Schoolboy Q and Lloyd Banks' V6.





Single will land on a Tree track or just go with Black Hippy's Black Lip Bastard. But then there's Jai Paul, too!





Damn. This was a very good year!

Juicy J for the single.










Juicy J would be in my top 5.
 
My favorite album that I can remember so far is the Kendrick but without a doubt my favorite single is Jasmine by Jai Paul (its my favorite song all year)
 
After 4/5 listens I started to rate the Lamar album as probably the best of the year. I'm not as keen on the Black Hippy output as others though and would also include Roc Marciano and Ka's albums as the best of the year. The Actress album is excellent as well.
 
both my 2 fav. albums this year have already been mentioned, still struggling between The Crossing and World Music. both super solid from start to finish, though, maybe WM gets the go for being more eclectic, but then, you cant really compare those two..





as for a single, def. this:

This has a cinematic vibe that makes me think it would be great during opening credits. Not bad, that Bands track is a bit depressing for my tastes though.
 
That Mystikal track I posted yesterday in the Rap thread, best thing I've heard all year as far as singles.

Yes. Would love to see this done live with a tight band.
