    If someone made a list of the shittiest music magazines, the rolling stone would be #1. I like The Pinkprint, but there's no way its better than Pinata. The similar move they made by naming U2's clunky album an AOTY. Either they don't want to be taken seriously and the computers randomly compile all those top lists or they hire the most idiotic journalists in the world.

    Good God :hov3:

    Sorta like the grammys these guys can make all their lists and awards but I'm not sure they are meant to be taken seriously. They don't have the best interests in mind as far as hip-hop goes

    Marshall didn't even make the top 40 in the weakest rap year in a long time.

    No Jeezy or Cole? g.d..

    Nicki, Migos, Young Thug & Azaelia shouldn't even be on that list, let alone the top 10.

    At least number 1 album is correct. Rolling Stones needs to find better writers for their rap genre

    I'm just saying man, you shouldn't criticize lists like this without listening to the albums you're complaining about.

    212 is gr8 though

    well i don't listen to this kinda stuff to hear rhyming pyrotechnics

    but drake is the only member of young money i take personal issue with, and that's because wayne and nicki at least seem like they're doing what they can to make a living with hiphop and put out a product they believe in
    i just don't get that vibe from drake at all
