Legendary producer DJ Premier continued his annual tradition of listing his favorite 25 albums of the year.
The is mostly comprised of veterans such as Ice Cube, Bun B, KRS-One, Fat Joe, and Scarface, although Drake’s Thank Me Later was a notable rookie inclusion.
Ghostface Killah made the list twice, by way of his well-received Apollo Kids, and as one-third of the Method Man-Ghostface-Raekwon trifecta for Wu-Massacre.
A number of the albums may have had a personal meaning to Preme, as he contributed to Bun B’s Trill O.G., Fat Joe’s The Darkside Vol. 1, and, naturally, DJ Premier Presents Year Round Records – Get Used to Us.
Below is the list, also available on DJ Premier’s blog.

Wheres Recovery? SMH
Garbage ain’t supposed to be on a top 25 list. Recovery was garbage.
He’s a NY nigga. They don’t like shit that sounds like music.
I must agree Recovery was not a great album. But it did have some moments ! Although we are all simply expressing an opinion. He forgot to put GARY RUE “NEVER ME” the illest video on youtube HAHA just fooling ! Although it is good !
First!…Trinidad Stand UP! haha. Yo this list is garbage….and he put his own album up as #2…..get the fuck outta here! Stick to making beats mane…this list shit is not your thing.
LOL… This nigga put Drake’s Thank Me Later and Rick Ross’ Teflon Don on his list but not Kanye’s album? LMAO aint no way Drake’s album can be better than his…
DJ Premier must be still mad that Kanye didn’t use that beat he made for him for his album…
very poor list
where are dj muggs & Ill Bill for christ sake ???? Where is KNO ??? stick to making beats
DJ Muggs?! Oh please!!
tefon don was the best album of the year i think the haters even know it wale about to blow to MAYBACH MUSIC about to blow!!!!!!!!!!!
not mad at this list. Cool he acknowledged The Left.
Skyzoo & Illmind was a fucking snooze though.
what? that album was hands down one of the best of 010
no Distant Relatives???? or Recovery? funny how he put his own ish #2…
The Left “GasMask”!!! Again and again! Big up to DJ Premier & HHDX for keeping their ears wide open and their taste on point
Where the hell is Sir Lucious LeftFoot @?
stfu everyone. he said his favorite lps of 2010, not the best that every loser commenter on hhdx thinks is the best of 2010. get over yourselves and respect his opinion.
exactly. this is what PREMIER liked. It’s up here so that if you respect the man’s musical taste, you can see what he’s been listening to and enjoying – what music informed his style this year. There are hundreds of great albums – these are what one of Hiphop’s greatest producers of all time enjoyed. And you fans are mad cause your opinion isn’t reflected? It’s nice to see a list that isn’t all main stream big money albums, Premiere holds down the underground. What you want him to pick the same as The Grammy’s? If you can’t find 5 albums on his list that you love, then you got issues. For me (not you) it’s The Left, Skyzoo & Illmind, Nottz, Roc Marciano, and Ghostface.
no recovery? Or my dark twisted fantasy? At least SOMETHING that made the top 40. Thank me later doesn’t count cuz it sucked. And why’d you put your OWN lp on the list?
Alot of albums from the 99 cent bin I see. Music business version of straight to video.
this means the corparate computer
its his list so no point in hating, but man comon wheres distant relatives we know u must have smoked a j to that….
No Slum Village – Villa Manifesto
No Black Milk – Album of the Year
No Canibus – C of Tranquility
No Big Boi – Sir Lucious
No Inspectah Deck – The Manifesto
No fuckin clue what preemo be smokin on
BEEZLEBUD HOLLAH ON TWITTER
atleast he put skyzoo and fat joe and left out that gay kanye shit!
‘Mood Muzik 4’ was the album of the year, and it was only a mixtape.
FUCK DRAKE…..GHOSTS ALBUM WAS #1 OF 10…..EASILY…..
No Friday Night Lights J.Cole Drake is trash and @Zeek u r lame for that comment about ny niggaz don’t know music Jealousy is a weak emotion you gotta overcome lame!!
Premo’s obviously mad that Kanye never used beat cos there’s no way you can say ‘Thank Me Later’ is better than ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’. But, hey, it’s his opinion so let’s it be.
distant relatives????????????????????
i would only exclude drake.
Would GURU even stand in a room with DRAKE ? NO ! This clown with his sissy ass ponderings about overnight success and bullshit. Preemo has hurt my heart here !
Lol I love his music, but Preemo’s list is garbage…
No Kanye and no Big Boi, but Ice Cube and Rick Ross?? Sounds like Preemo might be better that he didn’t make Ye’s new album like he was expected to.
And GK’s album was pretty good but certainly not even close to number one.
*bitter, not better
This is a respectable list, besides Drake, and it is not like the garbage list HipHopDx put out.
I’m shocked that someone so dope can have such a shitty list. I’m just gonna give Preem the benefit of the doubt & assume he made this list in the 5 minutes after he woke up one day. We all know what that’s like, before our brains are in full gear.
I can’t believe The Legendary Producer DJ Premier put drake on his list???? WTF is this world coming too???? I mean it is his list but C’Mon MAN!!! And Ice Cube???? REALLY???? The rest I don’t have a problem with but drake and cube???
Crap list. Thought DJ Premier would have better taste but in all likelihood he felt he had to include some artists just because they’re big names and was afraid of offending them.
DISTANT RELATIVES?
No Big Boi? No Kanye? No Em? Gay.
And No Nas either? GAY!
Wheres ‘Nas/Damien Marley’s album? wheres kanyes? and where the fuck is BiBoi’s album?!
How i got Over should have been higher up and drake either not there or 25.
Premo’s tripping. Drake didn’t come harder than Recovery, or Distant Relatives.
haha he may be a good producer but his list sucks, teflon don over how i got over? joke. teflon don was maybe in the top 50. Thank me later was also one of the worst albums. And he puts a Roc Mariacno album on here but no Big Boi. Kanye, Big Boi, nd Nas/DamianJr all had the best albums of the year. Recovery? Reflection Eternal? Pimp C? WTF!
His personal list ladies and gents, not yours. Lol at all you pussies mad and catching feelings about your fav albums not being on HIS list. Fucking guppies.
Anyway, the list is still shitty. 2010 wasn’t great albumwise. Friday Night Lights, Mood Muzik 4, and TSOL were 2010’s gems IMO.
Those are mixtapes not albums. But I agree they were better than some of those albums
Hip hop fans are such bitches. this is not your fucking list! Not everybody is on your favorite artist dick like you are. Jesus Christ.
i couldnt agree more – why are hip hop fans so protective over ther favourites – its gay as fuck!!!
people are allowed to like different music, we dont all have to like the same shit – the majority of music people get protective over is shit too!
This is premos list… Not yours
And if you guys are complaining about nas not being on the list… Any real nas or premo fan knows how premo is very vocal about him disliking any nas album without him putting a hand on it… And any nas fan feels the same way… Even about nas and pete rock… Everyone has been waiting on that shit to come full circle… We not asking or expecting another illmatic.. But as fans we deserve to hear what the fuck we really want… And premo knows all of nas hardcore fans want that shit.. I love that distant relatives joint. BUt theres nothing like hearing nas and premo.. That is the best unofficial duo that ever was.. And i too flipped when i saw thank me later.. But you know what i go back to my first point… Thats premos list… Act like u never been looked at crazy when you have a top 5 of anything list discussion with your friends… Thats the beauty of hip hkp.. Individuality… If you want people to give a fuck about your list.. Work for it… Thers a reason why this site is reblogging premos list.. Premo didnt pop out last night..
I own every Nas album n I couldnt give a fuck if he ever spits over a preemo beat again, so your mos def wrong about Nas hardcore fans
thats the realest shit someone has ever written on this website. Give us nas and premo again!
i dont think any of those records are better than nas/damien marley – distant relatives
I completely agree but everyone is entitled to their own opinion
I just wanna know why Recovery and Distant Relatives is not on the list???
Because Recovery was mad over rated!!
Ur right with distant relatives tho – good album… i think big boi’s lp shudda been ther too
and J Lives!!
primo always been politically correct with his friends…i wouldnt be surprised if he only listened to these releases
But it kinda makes sense,they all sync well with his own style
Thats What’s Up Premo,Dopeman Muzik only proves that Brad Jordan still is your favorite rapper’s,Rapper.@Zeek Premo from T.X.
APOLLO KIDS motherfuckers! My fav album of the year. Preemo is on point with this list for the most part.
can someone explain to me what made drakes album so good, could it be the mumbling he does over every beat,the guest rappers who out do him,his talk about love or the horrible singing using autotune?
im asking the same thing g. dont give a fuck we both from t-dot. i listen to only that good ish.
Who would have thought Dj Premier would have such a shit list.
At least it wasn’t as bad as the usual shit they put on this website.
The Roots deserve top five status at the very least!
ooh come on DJ Premier you can’t just name all your friends at the top i’ve listened to a lot of those cd’s and some of those were wack, and last year he put a cd he produced himself as number 1 (blaq poet) and he’s got his own compilation as number 2? damn dude i can’t take this list seriously

Tellin’ your a motherfuckin disgrace
Bitch, they call them the cum jizzer
I play b-ball like a fuckin wizard
Twilight in this bitch, Edward Cullen
Rapin’ the game like Rick Ross, ballin’
Nigga motherfuck where you came from
Fuck with me and yo face filled with cum
I’m done, because you can’t fuck with my rap
All you niggaz suck, y’all fuckin’ crap
I worship Blu because he ain’t a flake
Unlike you fags who like Cudi or Drake
Best in the rap game, freshmen of 09
Because Blu is the best rapper of this time
word is bond, this shit is on par with lil wayne. better than jeezy for sure. WAY OVER waka’s head and no competition versus soulja kid.
No Ye? Ha this nigga just jealous ’cause Kanye is one of the best producers in the game now and he can rap…fuck this nigga
Wow suck Ye’s dick some more. BITCH!
Yo Slum Village deserved recognition for Villa Manifesto…and how and the hell did Nas & Damien Marley not make it to the top of the list??? Another honorable mention, what about Foreign Exchange Authencity even tho it aint really classified as hip anymore, it should be hip hop/soul/r&b…Also Onra…tho he’s just a producer…Right on the money with GF and Apollo Kids…dope album…
premier may not give a fuck about the mainstreem, but preme’s beatz stay on that authentic hardcore rap nigga level
i’m sure Premier is kicking himself for not puting ill bill and dj muggs in his list, damn… must be smoking
He got Gas Mask on there! Dope..The best thing about these list are…ITS his list bro dont read so deep into whats not on it and focus on what is..Maybe you missed some of the shit he posted on it….Personally I think Experiment in Instrumentation and The Hybrid should be on it but Im not bitching it is what it is.
ghostface’s album apollo kids sounded the same as his other albums
bun b has the best album of 2010
trill OG

and my sick raps:
Yo I like tits your top 10? nobody gives a shit!
This is actually a horrible list. Wu Massacre and I Am The West was both weak. Would’ve expected more, Premo.
how culdd rick ross and drake be higher in that list then ice cube…let alone everyone else
Best album of the year, hands down :
VINNIE PAZ – SEASON OF THE ASSASSIN
this is only for the true hiphop heads, peeriod.
and only for true white kids living in their parents basement.
Am I bugging or did he not list Eminem?
Recovery was trash boy
Theres good albums on that list but i can’t take it seriously.. The order is way fucked up plus he got officer (never moved drugs) ricky on there. And fuck freeway too, got his head all stuck up in jay z ass crack its unreal. ‘
preme frontin b dat list is average at best wu massacre wasnt even dat nice and ima wu tang fan joeana was wacc teflon don was iight rah digga was poppin dis year doe
I guess Premo feels bitter about being left out of Kanye’s MBDTF. He was even stiffed on doing scratches for ‘Mama’s Boyfriend’, thinking it would be a bonus track. Probably would’ve been in his top 5 if he was on it. (For the record, IMO he should’ve been on MBDTF; it felt too short).
Some of his inclusions are questionable. Can’t front though. DJ Premier is a hip-hop legend, and is completely and undisputably entitled to his own opinion.
Have you seen the new source mag??? Kanye got a 5mic Classic! and the production artists shown on the mag are as fallows: RZA, Q-TIP, DJ PREMIER, NO I.D. AND OTHERS… Look it up. its the source mag with Ross n khalifa in the front. 1
I didn’t say I didn’t like MBDTF; it’s actually my album of the year! Got it on constant repeat since I bought it on release day.
I even ripped the CD as lossless files for my PC and iPod, as I thought the quality-compromising MP3 format wasn’t worthy of how sonically brilliant this album is.
Just sayin’ if there was one flaw (although a very small one), it would be that it left me wanting for more, i.e. felt short, which is where a Premo or Pete Rock banger comes in.
If “FANS” brought music like they complained about stupid issues like the next mans favorites, Hip Hop would be in a better place. I purchased 13 off his list. Pretty decent .
Where’s Kanye’s album, Em’s album im surprised he listed cube’s album and cube’s album was named the most disappointing album of the year.
Kanye , Eminem GTFOH!!
“The ___? is mostly comprised of veterans such as Ice Cube, Bun B, KRS-One, Fat Joe, and Scarface,”
The WHAT? is mostly comprised of veterans? Another editorial mistake, DX! grr. Stop letting interns proofread your content.
solid list by premier, 2 all of you complaining, make your own list and post it instead of wining like betches. pz.
These comments are dumb…a bunch of whiners! THIS LIST IS ‘HIS’ TOP 25….quit bitchin! Who said that the ones YOU chose is any better? i think the dumbest comment is somebody whining about him choosing his ‘friends’ on his list. He worked with alot of people in hip hop and formed relationships, both business and personal. Just because of that, he can’t include them on his list?
YALL GTFOH!
^ Co-sign.
I CO-SIGN THIS SHIT!
Joe Budden should all over this list
Premier’s yearly top lists are always terrible. Cube’s album doesn’t belong near any list. Marcberg at #19, but that rushed, cut and past Wu Massacre at # 4?? naw. This is better than his lists the past few years though.
Premo is silently hurt as you can see when it comes to leaving Kanye’s “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” off the list…I don’t care what excuse Premo comes up with as to why he left Kanye off but Premo is hurt and he’s probably hurt because Q-Tip,Pete Rock,and himself were not on that “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” album and that Kanye stiffed them all and left them off of there which is disrespect if you ask me and I don’t give a fuck what the people at Def Jam or Jay-Z told Kanye over there…He still could’ve used those joints from Q-Tip and Pete Rock for the album…And then when Premier asked Kanye did he use his beats, Kanye had the nerve to tell Premier that he didn’t get use them at the BET Awards and I guess that was it for Premo so Premo returned Kanye’s ass the favor but showing him what it feels like to leave him off of something…Can’t get mad at Premier for that…Kanye said he wanted beats from Premier,Premier used his sufficent time in making those beats for Kanye,Kanye doesn’t use them,and now he’s off Premo’s list so I salute Premo for this…Drake being on Premo’s list is a pure fucking joke though…The only reason why Drake is on this list is because he hung out with Premo for a mere moment and then said he wanted Premier on his next album which I seriously doubt that Premier will be on Drake’s second album…Premier needs to wake the fuck up and stop being so damn gullible from eating the words off of these mainstream dudes like Kanye and Drake because they will always tell you shit that’s not gonna be true in the end…Stick to your underground roots Premo and stop trying to catch some fast big money on your dish from these bullshit pop artists who promise you shit that ain’t true…What happened to Kanye is gonna happen next to Drake you guys just wait and see…Sorry Premo but you are not gonna be on Drake’s next album especially if Lil Wayne has a say so in it since Drake is with Young Money…It doesnt hurt to ask these mainstream dudes but Premo should already know what the end result is gonna be…Premo knows that Drake album ain’t shit but he just put Drake on there because Drake took sometime to hang out with him when he didn’t have to so that explains Drake being on the list…Drake shouldn’t have been on that list and I don’t give a fuck if Drake hung out with Premier…He should’ve been fair and put Eminem on there if that was the case…So Premier is basically saying that Drake’s bullshit album is was the best album in 2010 over Eminem’s Recovery? RFLMAO!!! GET THE FUCK OUTTA HERE!!! Stay the fuck outta of worrying about the mainstream world DJ Premier and stick to putting your favorite underground rap albums in the best of your yearly lists only and stop fidgeting with rap that exists in the pop world homie because the rappers in the pop world ain’t even thinking about you homie…I bet it was Jay-Z that told Kanye to leave you off the album and get some cuts…Remember the last time you worked with Jay was Jay-Z’s “In My Lifetime Vol.3” and you guys never worked with each other ever again because Jay-Z kept turning your shit down so shouldn’t that be a sign or what…Jay is behind Kanye not using your beats for that Dark Twisted album…You should know how close Jay and Kanye is…And Jay seems like the type that’s not gonna tell you that your beats are garbage and not what they use to be Premo…Jay is a hidden snake…This is the man who said that “Women lie,Men lie,and numbers don’t” so when Jay told you the reason why he couldn’t get beats from you is because you were always late and not on time is a lie Premo…I wouldn’t believe none of the shit Jay-Z says because quite honestly Jay will never tell you that your beats are garbage Premo because Jay’s a passive bitch and afraid to so he just won’t use it and will save face and make up an excuse or a lie as to why he couldn’t use your beats Premo…Your shit will always be hot and on fire Premo…Just stop fuckin’ with niggaz like Kanye and Jay-Z because they are not gonna tell you the truth about how you should make your beats for them…They are just not gonna use them and then just give you some lame duck ass excuse as to why they didn’t use it…and don’t let Drake do you the same…Guru wouldn’t want you selling out like this DJ Premier…Guru wouldn’t want you putting your faith into rap niggaz in the mainstream world who no longer give a shit about you…It’s the underground that will always love you Premier…Leave Jay,Kanye,Drake,J.Cole,Eminem,and whatever mainstream rap nigga’s soul that has been taken by the mainstream the fuck alone…Leave them the fuck alone and forget about them…You took Eminem’s vocals and used them for that “Key’s To The City” beat and Eminem never released it…I remember Eminem saying that he trashed certain songs for his “Recovery” album that he wasn’t going to use…Who’s to say if Eminem trashed that “Keys To The City” song that Premier did in his spare time for Em…Premo even said himself that Eminem sent Premo the vocals to put over the beat and Premo said sounded it crazy as fuck but we have yet to hear it and i bet Marshall Mathers trashed it…See these are the true reasons as to why Premo left your pop boys Eminem and Kanye off that best of 2010 list of his…You don’t shit on Preme and get away with it but clowns like Eminem and Kanye don’t care because they are getting pussy and money and could care less about respect towards cats like Premier,Pete Rock,and Large Professor…Pussy and money is the only thing that matters to them now since they’ve entered the mainstream…The mainstream teaches them to forget about working with legends like Premo,Q-Tip,Large Professor,and Pete Rock because the mainstream knows that these guys are real Hip-Hop and the mainstream is suppose to be fake Hip-Hop so they try to push Premo,Pete,The Abstract,and Extra P away from being on major projects for Eminem and Kanye and Drake and whatever other artists in the mainstream that want to work with those great producers…Premo needs to stop being but hurt over that and just stick to his underground shit…If Kanye,Drake,J.Cole,Eminem,Jay-Z,and whomever else wants to really,really, seriously work with DJ Premier one on one and actually put the track on the album and not leave it off like the bitches that they are then they will know where to find Premier…Other than that Premier needs to move on and stop worrying about these clown ass money-pussy hungry pop niggaz and keep it moving to the next real shit that’s about to explode and that’s what Premo is doing by leaving Kanye and Eminem off that list…Seriously he should’ve left Drake off that list because I don’t think he should even be the fuck on there and I don’t give a fuck if Drake hung out with Premo for 6 hours…His bullshit R&B crap should not be on there so stop suckin’ him off for that mere moment you guys shared Preme because Drake is no different than that snake Jay-Z that exists in that world you guys call Illuminati…
I see what your trying to sat ….but Ye’s using those songs for his album with Jay…Preemo produced on Commons finding forever wich is on GOOD music…Stop with the Illuminati shit…Its only conglomerates…who control perceptions which equals world dominance…
lol agreed 60%
preem did not produce for finding forever, he did the cuts on “the game”, that’s it…
haha u guys actually read that article
There’s no way I’m reading this comment. I don’t know if you made good points or not but if you’re gonna write something this long nobody is really gonna read it on here. Write for a newspaper or something cause nobody cares what your opinion is on this site.
What the fuck. I love reading opinions, some of the comments on this site are fucking hilarious. But this right here… This shit.. Ain’t nobody gonna read this shit. I gotta fucking scroll down to get to the bottom…
I hope it wasn’t all about Ye and Premo or you’re a certified nut gobbler.
premos crazy that was Ice Cubes worst cd ever n im a cube fan it was weak
NO Lloyd Banks
got 15 of these…not a bad list…I agree it’s missing Nas and Damian Marley, Black Milk’s joint,Hi Tek and Talib Kweli. People need to stop hating on this list, after all, it is HIS list…
Couldn’t say it better.
and I forgot that David Banner and 9th Wonder…
damn no ‘ye… what’s up premo?!
and Apollo Brown…
WTF? He put Rick Ross fake ass and Drake’s poptart ass on his list. He left Big Boi’s album off the list. Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty is the shit and thes best album for 2010. Also why Bun B is at #24. Trill O.G. is way better than Rick Ross and Drake albums combined.
Where is Nas and Damain’s DISTANCE RELETIVES.The best album of the year not only on hip-hop but in world music period.Premo is trippin
im suprised em and kanye werent on here. o well premier is premier.
if you wanna hear eminem on a premier beat click here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxEtfs36qpg
a blunt smokin beer drinkin spic who tells it how it is
I like Primo but this list sucks… It simply makes NO sense that Drake and Rick Ross are on the list, but no Kanye, no Big Boi…
I can understand that this is a personal list, but anyone who listens to Hip Hop knows that MBDTF and SLLF:TSOCD are Top 3 Albums of 2010… Maybe real classics
Premier my man but no Nas and Damian Marley,Lloyd Banks,Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek smh… Best albums in my opinion were
1.Lloyd Banks (HFM2)
2.Drake (I hate to admit it)
3.Rick Ross (even though hes fake)
4.Fat Joe ( this album was seriously hard)
5.Fabolous (A hard mixtape turned to an album niceee)
ice cube had a bad album, while kanye had the best album of the year… how come ice cube is on the list and kanye not… sorry, but the list sucks…
Seriously dude? Did you get the idea that Premo, one of hip hop’s most respected producers hates on ‘Ye? Does it occur to you that Em, who also had a good album, isn’t on the list, Premo hates him too, right? This is Premo’s list, not some hip hop aficionado’s opinion.
1.Lloyd Banks (HFM2)
This is actually a great list in my opinion (not sure about the ranking though). One thing you guys need to understand is that Premier pays a lot of attention to how skilled a MC is. This is why guys from the wu-tang, scarface, krs, bun b, little brother and others makes his list. Not to mention that if he “feels” the album he will have no shame to say he likes it (it’s the case of drake’s album).
Actually not a bad list, although the Drake inclusion does seem a bit… unexpected. It’s also worth noting that MBDTF didn’t make the list despite Premo giving ‘Ye beats for that album, which were eventually scrapped, maybe he was angry at ‘Ye for doing that?
Unlikely… but still, a bit confusing. I did think this list was pretty good though. Nice of him to put Ross so high, Teflon Don was a good album guys (although not in my top 10 of the year… maybe in top 30-40)
Fat Fucking Joe? Please..List sucks, Where is Kanye? Big Boi? Banks? Em?
good list not huge on the drake selection and I dont think rick ross should make the list but whatever good to see The Left – Gasmask on there thats would be in my top three of 2010
sick of clowns waiting for premeier to put up a billboard list instead of using his own mind on debating which gems are superior
it might not be on par with how you get programmed or what i would put out there, but this guy knows his shit and then some fucking more. It’s not my opnion or yours but it’s an offical one from dj premier
Eminem>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Premier’s list is pretty solid, some real joint’s you could pick up that you might have missed!
BAHAHAHAHAHAAA Eminem isn’t in the list. Sorry Stans ! Don’t jump out of the window, we need to laugh at your bullshits.
PS It’s normal Recovery isn’t in the list. It’s WAAAAAAACK
look at this mofo…..answers why hes just a dj and producer don’t it….to ashamed that a white dude killed every person who tried to put an album out in 2010…..And for the other haterz im not a Stan just dont c why yall can’t except a white guy killin ya
I’m fine with him not putting Em, whatever. But you put Drake on there???? Give me a break.
himself at number 2? he’s not being modest or nothing.. and Officer Ricky? man, i think DJ Premier is getting senile in his old age. smh
list is a joke without HFM2.
daaamn trill og #24??? smh…that was a killer album but i def agree with apollo kids at #1
Premo? What about AG’s LP Everything’s Berri? Great album.
=O where ‘ye at? where big boi…i freakin love that album.
I agree that Big Boi album is fire, He also left out the Reflection Eternal album which was also off the hook.
Ice Cube’s album is single handedly the worst album of the year.
Indeed.
I’d only put The Roots, Bun B, The Left, Drake, Rah Digga and Get Used To Us, to a similar list.
Haven’t heard every one of these but I don’t agree with Premo at all.
Why you leave Kanye out Premo??? You mad??

Mood Muzik 4?
You see this is the problem with emotion dudes can’t comprehend the compound of “ETHER”. Nas destroyed the game not only mentally and lyrically with the release of the gem, but, subatomically! Therefore, you’re greatest punchline can’t come back from. This dude Premier is one of the jealous heathens in the game. This list is a promotional ploy by him. He can’t mention kanye cause kanye style on the beat production has unfortunately out classed premo. JayZ I know dropped BP3 IN 2010…right hahah…yeah premo again is jealous because jay chose kanye again over him. Then, Nas who was supposed to work with dude turned around and flanked him, went to Jamrock and pulled out a real hip hop classic that dudes aren’t gonna figure out until he’s Dead and gone! Then, we got Em. Well Em always had Dr Dre who again own premo! So, can you see where this list is going…dude is bogus – and that shit has tainted his judgement. CAN ANYBODY SAY THAT DRAKE’S ALBUM IS HOTTER THEN BP3, TWISTED DARK FANTASY, RECOVERY AND DISTANT RELATIVES? Did anybody notice that he put his shit as #2 – tell me this dude is not smoking laced roaches. Clown. You lost all respect in this subliminal biase attack! I see through you wack ploy premo!
wow u make a lot of sense here.. i’m impressed.. no sarcasm
U do have valid points. Distant Relatives was iller than A LOT of his list. but then again, its his opinion. majority of these albums have GREAT beats. he might judge lots off the beats. Kanye album(although its not my steez), is sonically an AMAZING project. however, Blueprint 3 was at the end of 2009… so that’s voided. the Vets of Kin ‘Pestilence’ album destroys most of these LP’s anyway. Real Talk
well said banks should have made it along with rae and heaps others
ermmmm, recovery was complete pop bullshit that cannot even be classed as hip hop. and dre only had one song that he produced on recovery so the point u made about premo being jealous is invalid.
blueprint 3 was 2009 you dumbass
MBDTF was sick and even i am confused why its not on there. maybe jealousy, but why would premo be jealous, he is the greatest producer of all time
dude has himself on his own list? naw
This list is the dirtiest thing on the web site!!..matter of fact, bring out the girls and lets have a mud fight
thanx people for letting the man premier bring forth his opinion to the table whether you agree with them or not you’ve shown that his is the most valued in the game
Long live Premo
And the Raekwon’s purple tape, Talib Kweli is now signed to Roc Nation Premo… for what dropping another classic I suppose? Eh man…I ‘ve lost respect for this clown. MISSING RAEKWON’S PURPLE TAPE, KANYE, BP3, EM, NAS. Drake? Yeah we know, he asked to work with him so he has to place him on the list. Kat in the hat ass rapper…preschool rhyming Drake..really. So the list is missing dudes that completely stand alone from premo. Face it premo…you’re not hot like the 90’s.

To all you little kids who keep complaining about Kanye and Eminem..the reason that they are not on the list is because that shit is pop garbage. The guy has an opinion. If I made a list a of top 25 a lot of these albums would be on there. Certainley not Eminem or Kanye..Eminem hasn’t dropped anything worth listening to since 2000 and Kanye is just wack. Jay-z fell off big time too.
Then Why does he have drake on there? CHILD PLEASE!!!!!!!
thats a bullshit list, wheres royce da 5″9? ras kass? canibus? budden? all these rappers put out raw shit thats mind numbing. i thaught it was all about your way with the words, lyricism. yet the artists with weak lines and metaphors, shitty rhyme structure, and tone deaf are on the list. EXCEPT FOR BUN B, and fat joe lmao
well that’s where i disagree with you. it’s not ALL about lyricism and a way with words. that’s a huge part of it and possibly the most important part, but hip hop is the combination of lyricism and fly beats. a great album can’t just be dope complex lyrics over some wack beats that don’t make your head nod. if that’s what your looking for you might as well go to a poetry reading.
and props to tidomann
gangstarr for life
premo and guru = raw
premo and kassy = raw
premo and rae = raw
premo and royce = raw
listen to the true fans, fuck that new scene
slaughterhouse and 4hrsmn bring lyricism back
Homeboy Sandman should’ve been on that list. No recycled hipster lyrics. No B.o.B. Andre3000 imitation. No Lupe Fiasco Street Nerd rap. Just an honest outlook. I’m not cheer leading his album because I was a longtime fan. I was very skeptical and was really surprised by the quality of the music.
Gangrene album is sick
how does he not have HFM2 on the list!?!?! disgrace!!! gangrene was dope!!!
he has fat joe and not banks or budden.. premo u lost all rspect and u suck nowadays anyway
Lol@saying budden should make any list
No kanye?????
Drake made your list?
So, you’re down for some jewish dick?
kyke jig fegget
I HATE FUCKEN HATERS DAMNIT. Now we all ppl and we all have our own opinions and maybe Primo’s top 25 looks different 2 urs but then NIGGA its a Fucken opinion.
Shit i respect this list more than any other that i’ve seen this year, even though i beleive some albums should have been higher and some should have been lower.
But Fuck you Keyboard tough guys, who’d be all up Primo’s crack if you met him in real life but u can sit at your pc and make derrogatory comments at someone who been KILLIN shit since b4 u were born.
FUCK YOU HATERS
DJ Premier G.O.A.T. period.
Waxmaster C keep it alive…
Some good albums on here for sure, but ummmm, if Primo is reppin REAL HIP HOP where is DIABOLC LIAR AND A THIEF and KNO’S, Death is Certain? Two GREAT albums
Death is Certain lmfao you fail bruh
Lol at people saying Preemo left off MBDTF because it’s “poppy bullshit”… that makes no sense… as if Preemo isn’t working with him on Watch The Throne.. or as if Thank Me Later isn’t on that list (and pretty fucking high might I add)
My only guess is that he literally forgot rofl. Because if he seriously thinks Thank Me Later, The Stimulus Package, Teflon Don, and ANYTHING Fat Joe Related is better than MBDTF… then I just lost a fuckton of respect for one of hip-hops greatest producers.
#Period
Oh and How I Got Over is top 5 hands down.
Kanyes album is 100 times better than all of these
