    Merry Christmas everyone! Quick question, round 1 is for the albums on the left hand side of the bracket and round 2 is for the right hand side, right? I'm quite ahead of the game this year as I've heard more than half of them (compared to last year when I had only heard around 10 beforehand lol), but I'm going to get stuck into the albums I haven't heard yet over the next few weeks and I want to make sure I do the round 1 albums first just in case... :)

    also Freddie Gibbs is one of my fav rappers ever but Alfredo 2 was mid, tbh I think him and alc are a super overrated pairing and he's way better w madlib or speakerbomb

    still gotta peep a bunch of stuff like the de la soul/mobb deep albums etc

    Iz it a Crime to Be a Virgin? let’s ask @Marsh
    Guess that is Life of a Showgirl, Right Addison?
    Whole world out there asking who’ll win
    I might be on a Egotrip, but I think Slim
    I’m the Problem with a Sinister grift
    I’ll say it again Midget, I am The Drama you miss
    So vote for me dog, Man’s Best friend
