IDK, I might be missing some I could have sworn I had more albums on my iTunes from 2011

Surprisngly, no Tim Kinsella project made the list this year... Life Like was good, just not nearly up to par...

Every year I listen to less and less non Hip Hop.

---

I'd like to add Mi Ami - Dolphins to this list, I heard it late but it is amazing.

Also, finally listened to Childish Gambino...

The absolute best bad rap I've ever heard is still bad rap, but I can understand people liking it.

[Texface-Killah]

i never understood the hype behind Childish Gambino. he's like the black Mac Miller to me... in that he's not bad, but he's not half as good as his fans make him out to be.

i thought Camp was an extremely okay album.

[stevo1588]

Bing bong, sing along. Your team's Al Gore 'cause your views are wrong.
