Cee Lo's album is fun, though it's far more Pop/R&B than hip-hop. At least four solid tracks there.
Looks like we have a similar impression of 2010 in hip-hop. 7 of your top 10 are in mine, in only slightly different order. Many thanks for getting me hooked on B.o.B.
I love the Seinfeld / Eminem contrast. Who are good examples of artists who rap about nothing, but in a skillful, effective way? Jay-Z comes to mind as Seinfeldian.
So good to see RPM get some love as one of the best albums of the year! This album needs to be heard. If Jay-Z is Seinfeldian, Talib Kweli is John Stewartese: he has plenty to say and does so entertainingly.
