It would be kind of hard for me to give a top 10 right now because there's still a few releases I'm waiting for. Mainly the new Park-Like Setting. As of right now though, these albums would definitely be on the list:
Edan - Beauty And The Beat
Dangerdoom - The Mouse and the Mask
Supastition - Chain Letters
Quasimoto - The Further Adventures of Lord Quas
Zion I - True And Livin'
Atmosphere - You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're having
One Be Lo - S.O.N.O.G.R.A.M.
Blueprint - 1988
Cage - Hell's Winter
That's 9. I'll come back in December for an official, and in order, top 10.

Anyone heard DJ Nobody - Soulmates? I've had it for a while but never really got into it til now. It's real good, mostly instrumental but there's 3 tracks with MC's like Medusa, 2Mex, and Abstract Rude.09-Shades of Orange (featuring 2 Mex)
http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0NRBC6TRWLYLU3KHL7JWUYNE10Felt the need to post that track, it's simply beautifal/dope at the same ttime.
Soulmates and Pacific Drift are great albums. They always get a spin from me.
hey i just heard Eddy Guererro died or have ever you spell it? ohh yeah and what do you guys think of TO getting suspended, me personally his career is ruined, i dont care how good he is.
ohh and does anybody know about this guy named Abstract Rude, i htink he works with Bukue one, and Del the funkee, and yo can somone recommend some blueprint albums. Illogic and MF Doom are like the 2 top MCs on my list. but i need some new flava in my mouth.

Abstract Rude is great. I know him from a group he's in with Aceyalone and...the other guy, called Haiku De Tat.1988 by Blueprint, real nice.
i like Mikah 9, Aceyalone and Abstract Rude, but i didn't really like the Haiku D'Etat albums. really hard to listen to. maybe i should give it another listen with that Cage album. what do you guyz think?
I'm really not a big fan of Celph Titled, I liked his work on Sin-A-Matic, but aside from that he never seems to stand out for me. Lyrically, Apathy eats him alive.

I hadnt heard Cage until last night when i d/l the track he did with El-P and Aesop off his album for D00m. I wasnt blown away but it did enough for me to want to hear more.
If you liked The Cold Vein and I Phantom, you'll like Hell's Winter by Cage. Amazing, shocking personal lyrics, unique delivery, and the best production of the year (El-P, Camu Tao, Blockhead, RJD2 and DJ Shadow behind the boards, talk about complete dream team).

D00m's got the album on slsk so i'll sample a few more tracks before i buy it. What ones do you recommend DB?
Tengu, best tracks on I Phantom IMO are Post Mortem, Iron Helix, Success, New Man Theme and The Now. But the album really needs to be listened to as a whole because the stories are interlinked.

Scenester, Subtle Art of a Break Up Song & Lord Have Mercy.
Its not a concept album, but its one of those cds that still needs to be listened to as a whole to be fully appreciated. Its basically one big journey through his mind.
