Just saw this. J.Cole, Wiz Khalifa, Freddie Gibbs, Jay Rock and yes even O.J. are deserving.
Don't know much about the others.

The album was decent. Im not a big Fash fan, I know dude and seen/heard him spit. J Cole, Wiz Khalif, Nipsey are dope as fuck. Props to Fash though, for yes, putting out an album AND being from The No.. But, Im not a big fan of him on the mic.

For sure, everyone has their own opinions. I really liked the collaboration between Exile and Fash, one producer/rapper albums always sound much more cohesive to me, which is probably why I place it as one of my favorite albums from last year. Plus, he's on Ev's team, and I love Dilated.

J. Cole's "The Warm Up" was a really sick mixtape, that dude has lyrics. I also like Nipsey/Jay Rock, and I've only heard Wiz with Currensy (who I enjoy listening too as well). I don't care for Big Sean/Pill/OJ, and I've never heard music from Donnis/Freddie Gibbs.
