JYD Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 (edited) Does TINC3 count as 2011? It may alter my list. Comes out tomorrow, Xmas Eve!!

Flash Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Does TINC3 count as 2011? It may alter my list. Comes out tomorrow, Xmas Eve!! TINC2 arguably my favorite mixtape of all time!!!! I'm counting it as 2011 lol. The Soul Tape was good but TINC is just on another level. I think Fab might be the most slept on/underrated mainstream rapper out there.

JYD Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 He definitely is Flash. People give him credit, but lyrically he's up there with just about any other punchline rapper in history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guru Posted December 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Sleeping on Action Bronson? Na I listened to a couple of his songs before. Dude just sounded like a fake Ghostface to me. Maybe I'll give him another go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 Just the tone, delivery/wordplay/emotion is different. His Dr. Ledger album is tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm pretty sure Elmatic came out in 2010. I haven't listened to much full albums/mixtapes this year, although R.E.D by the Game, The Dreamer, The Believer by Common, W.A.R by Pharoahe Monch and TM103 by Jeezy come to mind immediately.

NomarFachix Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I'm pretty sure Elmatic came out in 2010. via Wiki: eLmatic Even though Buttatones and Fashawn did it first, he recently released a homage retail mixtape on May 10, 2011 in honor of Nas's debut album called Elmatic where using the band Will Sessions they recreate the sounds of Illmatic in similar fashion. The Mixtaped was greatly received by hip hop fans and considered one of the best projects released in 2011. He has released two videos for the mixtape, "Halftime" and "It Ain't Hard 2 Tell" which has hit 500,000 views despite not being backed by a major label. He has also mentioned that a video for "Memory Lane" is in the works, and will feature footage from the Hip Hop Shop in Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
