    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
