yeah this isn't happening anymore, 2012 lists are still game tho

The 80's or hip-hop?

both. Next list is the 2012 lists at the end of the year. Feel free to continue posting your rap lists if you want tho

How about wanta is no longer allowed to propose fucking lists.

It's been 3 years since the turn of the decade, let's do a 00s list 4 real

that's a shame

yeah well, go play in the movie tourney to turn that frown upside down

I don't know, I really think an 80's or rap list would be more interesting (mostly cause I posted the damn thing already). From my understanding, 2012 has been a very not hot year.

There have been better years, but I'd hardly call 2012 not hot. I'm certainly interested to see what the aggregate of DDD user's favourites looks like.

Spoiler: Killer Mike number 1.

This is why I don't get you guys. As good as R.A.P Music is, 4eva N a Day is clearly the better hip-hop album.
