Hell Hath No Fury is my favourite hip hop album (perhaps non-Wu related only but it could be favourite) and Neptunes are my favourite producers. Every beat on the album is memorable. Lord Willin is pretty great too. Their verse on Like I Love You also deserves a mention.

wow, Big Baby Gandhi is the Danny Brown of our generation. Such an enthusiastic flow.

edit: haha, Pitchfork gave it a 5. Probs cuz he uses their lord's name in vain (Drake).
Everyone should check out this mixtape, it is one of the best of the past few years. Right up there with Mr Muthafuckin eXquire and Danny Brown.

That Schoolboy Q album is my favorite album from this year so far. Damn!

No idea if these guys are popular around here, but Blue Sky Black Death has made some of the best beats I've heard. Finally found a link for the album, so I'll be hearing the rest of them this weekend.

Finally gave a full listen to Kendrick Lamar's album and was impressed as fuck. Last year was a pretty solid year for rap.

Death Grips

This is really quite violent, musically. Thoroughly enjoying it.

Here's all the other rap albums I've got from 2011:
Instrumentals, Electronic Dream, undun, Black Up, XXX, Watch the Throne, No Kings, The Silent President, Oneirology, Exmilitary, I'm Gay (I'm Happy), The Book of David, Take Care. All the ones I've heard are good and from what I've heard of the others (TBOD, Take Care) they're good as well.
As for 2012, God's Father and the Schoolboy Q album both seem good.
