[Magsåvningsreserven]

this year was really shit

pretty much, usually in a year there's like a small bunch of albums that really feel like classics, but this year feels really mediocre.

2011, what a fucking terrible year.

no nicolas jaar yet??? fuck wrong with u herbs?

hey bro i cbf wiking when space is only noise release date cuz it says on my media player 2010 so i assume it was released in 2010 but yeah def in the top lists. 2011 was def a top year for electronic music i can guarantee that much but on the indie rock spectrum nothing was attention worthy even by pitchforks standards *lol*. 2011 was also fake hip hop golden age as well.

[DüM]

really, mags?

I realize my list is all hip-hop (minus weeknd you could say I guess) but this year was really really good for hip-hop.

[Guest Wavey]

u guys like james blake album? not that shit with bon iver though my god that was terrible, some huge UK Bass shit came out this year

[DüM]

2011 was also fake hip hop golden age as well.

not sure what you're talking about but this year was all about 'underground' internet rappers a lot of which were atleast mildly interesting.

the people in my list plus Action Bronson, Young L, Lil B, eXquire, DZA, Curren$y and his dudes, Schoolboy and the rest of TDE, Danny's crew, Odd Future, Roc Marciano, Gibbs, Gunplay, Gunplay, Gunplay.

but I could give a fuck about 'real hip hop'
