Murs for President is an awesome album. It's got so many great tracks and he's a gifted mc. Reks is awesome. I really think Blu was the best this year though. I feel like everything that guy touches just turns to gold. He's my favorite mc and i think it'd be pretty hard for me to dislike anything he makes. Murs was awesome this year.

But he just didn't put out enough material this year. Sure, quality over quantity, but its much easier to put out 2 good joints if you only put out 2 than it is to put out 10 good joints if you put out 12 I’m pretty sure I recognize the genius of phonte.. that’s evident by my top 15 phonte performances piece.

I definitely think this is a good list, but once again, I have to say, what is going on??? Why is Phonte not in the top 10??? Not placing him in the top 10, even though I don't agree with the bull crap he talks off the mic, is like putting Nicolay ahead of 9th Wonder on the top 10 list of producers. Phonte is not only an original, but this cat has brought a lot of creativity, sense, and style to the game. I guess that's my opinion. Love the site though.

Still inevetably Nas last year divided heads. I've got to say he was among my top lyricists last year. I personally think that for the first time in ages he didnt choose any truly horrible beats, there werent too many stand outs but as an emcee he had a dope year. He might not be the greatest feature artist anymore but he did release a mixtape as good as the lp which followed it. Still i largely agree with the list but would put Blu as at least an honourable mention on the strength of jonson and johnson which was maybe a lil notch under below the heavens. I would have Black Thought higher as well, dude is mad underrated! Much respect to the list man. Still inevetably Nas last year divided heads. I’ve got to say he was among my top lyricists last year.
