lol at teflon don over my beautiful dark twisted fantasy but impressed fabolous was on there and glad it was over bieber
I applaud the Times for not being like every other slobbering critic who has been sucking the Kanye dick. Good for them. An odd list for sure; I can even overlook the fact that Bieber is on it. R. Kelly’s record is great and isnt getting enough love.
R. Kelly plays with little girls,……. He shouldn’t be on any list!!!!! Perv!!!!
Ricky album is that good… Better than Kanye’s I think by far.. I listen to it from beginning to end.. Only the song with Diddy gets skipped!!!
Good for the Times!!!!1
Where is Recovery?WTF
Big up to the homie Fab…………bout time my sun get some shine hannnnnnnn
I personally think Young Jeezy should have been on there with Trap Or Die 2! That mixtape was fire!!
Loud (Rihanna) shouldve been #1, Fab should be #2
WHAT IN THE HELL ARE THEY SMOKING OVER THERE IN NY TIMES LAND… TEFLON DON AS #1 ALBUM….. OVER KANYE WEST, EMINEM, 50 CENT… SH*T… TREY SONGZ ALBUM WAS BETTER THAN THAT ALBUM. UNBELIEVEABLE…. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH… I WANNA KNOW WHAT FELX THINKS SINCE THIS IS HIS SITE, IF HE REALLY READS THE COMMENTS….
Wow, I mean this has to be the worse album of the year list out there right now. I mean, Teflon Don at no.1? over Kanye, Eminem and Drake etc.? WTF where they thinking. And also, how could they have left out The Suburbs – Arcade Fire or Mumford & Sons sigh no more. And that fucking fag bieber is there….. just dumb…
Yes i agree 100% with telon don, i played that album since it came out throughout the year till ashes to ashes, in my opinion he won last year too with deeper than rap
Def Jam spent alot of money to stop anybody willing to speak the truth bout William Roberts, their golden goose. The word is when Ross peoples saw RaDiggs interview, they hired investigators to gather info on him. This info was handed over to the DEA. In turn leading to Radiggs arrest. Just as when Jeezy was about to go against him, Def Jam stepped in to deaden it.. Understand Ross is there only source of income on the rap side. After Def Jam contacted Diggs peoples and got the wrong responds, RaDIggs was in cuffs just 6 weeks after this interview. Understand if any rapper doesnt accept a discount verse, video appearance and/or PR, too not speak out against him, they become considered a problem. Thus RaDiggs, you see how quick Slim Thugga accepted, Meech n Hoover families were paid well to accept. Jeezy just backed off, realizing he had no win at Def Jam against the label heads.
This is the interview they didnt want you to see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMiQgAbfZxI&p=35B607635DE02847&playnext=1&index=24
