Another great list by TSS! I know this is in no specific order, but I believe Dom Kennedy’s Me Again should be higher up. Definitely one of the best endings to a mixtape this year. aside from that minor qualm I absolutely LOVE this list. Defintely gonna have me checking for some albums I slept on in 2010.
Also, Shoutouts for that choosing Best Coast. That album was surprisngly good and it definitely made me look weird buying it the same time I bought Freddie Gibbs’s EP.

Someone make it into a zipfile!!!
Awesome list though. If there’s a site I can trust with year end stuff, TSS shows great diversity and taste.
Man! I can’t even say just how excited I am to have made this list. I’m honored. #92!!! Even if I was an honorable mention I would have been excited. Thanks guys! Keep writing awesome reviews and bringing wisdom to the hip hop world.

21. Smoke DZA – “Code Orange” — Smoke DZA spits truth over an electric-guitar driven production by Ski Beatz in between Mel Gibson’s racist rants to his ex-wife. There isn’t much you can ask for in a song in 2010.
38. LCD Soundsystem – “Dance Yrself Clean” — The supposed “last” album from James Murphy and crew opens with this 8 minute epic, building from a slow drum beat with a distant vocalist into a fierce mixture of rhythms and wild keyboards. TSS recommends listening to this with your favorite drug of choice be it nicotine, caffeine, or whatever nonsense you get into.
2 of my favorite tracks of the year!!!!

Word to Chance, good for you man, looking forward to more of your stuff in 2011, that EP was arguably one of the best releases of the year.
“Yelawolf Feat. Nikkiya – “Speaker Sex” — It’s hard to imagine a man who traces his influences to Lynyrd Skynyrd creating a steamy rap song, but ‘Wolf does it and does it quite well.”
My song of the year, may seem weird but there isn’t a song I can play in any mood, with any system, and still not want to hit next

Good shout on the Nottz/Mayer Hawthorne track, definitely one of the best things I heard this past 12 months…

Good looks on mentioning “Bodies,” “I Like,” and”Sex Intelligent (Remix).” One thing though, I prefer “Can nonchalance be obvious, of course.” As the dopest line of the year. I lose it every time I hear it.
“Nicki shows she can keep up with the boys and even run faster, hit harder and shine brighter if she wants to.”
=======================================================
It’s so true which makes it so sad.
Oh and can ya’ll do a best R&B albums of the year too?

Not ONE Wiz track…really? lol alright…

AmpGeez a.k.a Smoke Greene
Lloyd Banks “Start It Up”, Freeway & Jake One’s “The Product”, Wiz’s “In My Car”, Lupe’s “I’m Beaming”, Chris Brown’s “No Bullshit”, J. Cole’s “Blow Up”, Fly.Union x Willie The Kid ‘s “Great”, Ye’s “Christon Dior Denim Flow”, David Banner & 9th Wonder’s “Slow Down”, Trademark, Young Roddy & Spitta’s “Skyscrapers”, Starlito’s “Alright”….I could go on & on. Alotta dope music came out last year & it doesn’t look like it’s gonna slow down in 2011.
Peace to TSS, crew members & commentors alike.

Agreed with most but to not have a Wiz track is absurd. Black & Yellow is one of the dopest tracks of the year let alone This Plane…

This list could have used a James Blake song preferably “CMYK.” Excellent job, already discovered some gems I missed… And that Kid Daytona Freddie Gibbs shit is crazy… I think TSS overhypes speakher sexx by Yelawolf but I’ll keep listening…
I still thank Gotti for putting me on to that Diplo remix of Starstruck last year…

My shit is the Devin The Dude shit he killed… “Love Is Not Enough”
Seen Yela perform @ SOBs in December and he didn’t perform this or that…
I think you guys need to do a part 2 to that list because you know as soon as that shit was put up you all thought of 100 more songs you missed, these lists are like the holy grail for what you may have slept on or missed…

I know that this is totally off subject but do you guys know what wordpress plugin you used to create this slideshow? Because I’m interested in implementing something like this on my site.
Just curious.
I love the site by the way and especially this post. Been jamming to most of these songs all day.

Love the list! Glad you have After The Smoke (#39) and Big Sean (#61) on there. I play Typical Weekend and Memories on repeat when I’m not in a hard core Hip Hop mode. Definitely different and dope!
I didn’t see Donnis or Laws on this list. Did I miss something?
01.04.11 at 10:20 pm

I think that The Boy Illinois “Put Me On A Track” could have easily been on this list/ Y’all just ani’t given the bro any play at all. Surely this blog ain’t that hooked with industr as to lock an artist out all together. Disappointed
