[Fatal Guillotine]

weigh-in

[JakobR]

Lowkey - Soundtrack to the struggle
Pharoahe Monch - W.A.R.
Saigon - The greatest story never told
Kendrick Lamar - Section.80
Common - The dreamer/believer
Reks - R.E.K.S.
Talib Kweli - Gutter rainbows

I havn't listened to the new Roots album and havn't given Cunninlynguist's and Hassaan Mackey's albums some proper rotation yet but I will sometime soon.

[Prime8]

Reks - R.E.K.S.
One Be Lo - L.A.B.O.R.

[GhettoGnom]

Dunno, but Oneirology and Undun needs to be mentioned. The way they've tackled their concepts is a way larger feat to me than most of the shit that gets passed on as lyrical.

[Fatal Guillotine]

still havent listen to undun all the way thru

[DVSK]

impossible, shortest album ever ^

All 6's & 7's - Tech N9ne
Dreamer/Believer - Common
Rhythmatic Eternal King Supreme - R.E.K.S.
Cats & Dogs - Evidence
PL3DGE - Killer Mike
Section 80 - Kendrick Lamar
Weekend At Burnies - Curren$y
Oneirology - Cunninlyguists

shit changed my life. real shit for them thugs & hustlers.

only beef is the title.
they should have called it "REAL NIGGAZ".
just so more overly sensitive grown men can get mad at some white hoodrat for saying the word nigga. seriously, those folks sound more bitch than v-nasty.

Yo son, Gucci is that nigga or should I say "nygga"..........he is super lyrical and gets major spins on the Wu Tang radio network via satellite radio.

[claaa7]

nah, Pharoahe Monch's "W.A.R." is the best lyrical performance of the year - not the best album though.. probably followed by "eLmatic" yeah. been lots of hot shit in 2011, i'm doing long ass reviews for 11 of them now @ my blog.. gonna drop #1 on New Year's Eve. fucking hard work, wish i would've settled with 5 now instead hahah.

[Fatal Guillotine]

Haha, props for that, I bet it's going to be a great read. :)

For 2011, I think there's been a lot of great music around. Lyrically, W.A.R., The Greatest Story Never Told, Cats & Dogs, R.E.K.S. etc... yeah. Can't complain too much.

had mixed feelings about this album

[muscularghandi]

I agree with Reks.

You ever petrified, exorcised demons
Believing you leave em breathin they'll get even
Odds are beyond yall, achievin peaceful means of seekin deacons
Ain't no way out, they about beat, by any means

[RynMur]

section 80? lol

[Durag]

Most of the best shit from 2011 has already been mentioned so im gonna recommend three really dope albums from last year that flew under most peoples radars. Dunno if their lyrically the best, but they are lyrical and dope as fuck.

Rasheed Chappell - Future Before Nostalgia
Rashad & Confidence - The Element Of Surprise
The Doppelgangaz - Lone Sharks

[infinite vagina]

Return of 4Eva by Big K.R.I.T. was also one of the best.

[drippie k]

No one has mentioned Lost In Translation by Mr. Muthafuckin Exquire?? I'm pissed

[infinite vagina]

Oh hell yes.

[UNCLE RUCKUS]

Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang for the cut w/ Black Thought alone
then WAR
