The year is ending, and at this point, there are only two or three big releases left. So, what are the biggest contenders for album of the year? This thread could be very useful for everyone to check all the nominees before deciding on a final AOTY.

Post the albums you think should have a spot in the final poll of album of the year. Right now my nominees so far would be:

El-P- Cancer 4 Cure

Aesop Rock- Skelethon

Nas- Life Is Good

Brother Ali- Mourning In America, Dreaming In Colour

Lupe Fiasco- F&L2: The Great American Rap Album

Macklemore- The Heist LP

Chino XL- The Ricanstruction

Styles of Beyond- Reseda Beach

Damn there were a lot of good albums this year. We still have Talib Kweli's album coming out too which is definitely a contender.

The Heist >

I disappointed in myself for not having heard "The Heist" yet.

I think I've come to the conclusion that The Heist is the AOTY as well. Can't Hold Us, Make The Money, Ten Thousand Hours, Starting Over, Same Love, Wings, Jimmy Iovine, Victory Lap, all great-classic songs. Even with some songs holding it down I would feel too bad not giving AOTY to it.

Biggest album of the year, nothing comes close to this.

I doubt a Rap album will win.

Lol, is this a joke?

If it's not, then fuck no. Not while good kid, m.A.A.d city is out at the same time.

And it's not even close. Except for Slaughterhouse, but nobody in this section will even acknowledge them.

Is it actually good? I hated the last two albums so I didn't even check it out
