Livewire & Mob Figaz are noticeably absent from my list this year. Only Jacka dropped solo albums this year and most were not good.

Most of the Livewire releases were average at best.

Did you forget the title of your thread? That's 12 albums.

Obviously I counted Welcome To The Soil as 1 release. Otherwise I would've listed them separately.

 

[ParadoxMRR]

HD - Pursuit of Happyness
Joe Blow - M.O.B [My Other Brother]
Philthy Rich - Killl Zone

I can't come up with another 7 albums.
Most of my favorite artists drop an album or two a year worth of dope songs in the course of 3 or 4 albums / mixtapes

 

[infinity]

Yeah, HD and Joe Blow dropped 4 projects each this year. You could narrow the tracks down to 2 dope albums each, which is what I'm going to do.

 

[360_541]

Black C - Still Ruthless

 

[AdolfOliverBush]

Obviously I counted Welcome To The Soil as 1 release. Otherwise I would've listed them separately.

Well, then, you could also list both E-40 & Too Short albums as one release since they also came out on the same day and make your list the 13 albums of the top 10 of 2012.

lol my bad I havent listened to much bay rap this year. I kinda lost interest because of all the repetative beats and subject matter. I've been listening to other different types of music. but Kreayshawns album is the only Bay album that I remember checking out as well as a handful of others and I know everyones expecting me to comment on this so why not give the people what they want/expect right? lol

[iMOBBIN415]

This was not a great year for bay rap. Mostly because the best rappers in the bay didnt really release much but it got better at the end of the year. I even started listening to music outside the bay which I haven't done in a while. But in no order
Hd-Extortion Muzik 4
Hd-Pursuit Of Happyness
Joe Blow-Real Recognize Real
The Jacka-AR
Taj-He-Spitz-First 24
Blast Holiday-Dragon Slayer
J-Dubb-Still Mobbin But its Pimpin
Ampichino & Young Bossi-Cop Heavy Gang 2 (I know they from Akron)

Thats all I can think of, a lot of these wouldnt be on a top album list for any other year but this year sucked.

 

[Young Lou]

this should be on the list
