RHH: Check out my Top 10 Tracks of 2012 so far?

1) Yelawolf He is releasing a couple of collaborative extended plays. He already released one with Ed Sheeran. He'll be releasing two more with Travis Barker and Big K.R.I.T. He released one mixtape recently entitled "Heart of Dixie."

He has two more on the way. All of which will happen in 2012. He is also releasing his actual album shortly thereafter.

It is the year of Yelawolf. 2) Krizz Kaliko (a classic album, incredible collaborations, a record-breaking tour). 3) Game (two solid album-quality mixtapes, another classic album in progress).

4) Kendrick Lamar (two solid singles with an album in October). 5) Machine Gun Kelly (beautiful music, with the exception of "Wild Boy," an album release expected soon. He also took part of the record breaking tour with Strange Music).

BQ: Jon Connor - "The Way I Am" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwEVNKbNv... It's the same instrumental, but it's definitely better (in my personal opinion). BQ2: None. All of the rappers in my area speak about the 'norm' of mainstream rap when they're rapping on a cheap, twenty-five dollar microphone, barely making it.

It'd be nice if my local artists would actually rap about their life, and what they actually have instead of fabricating their entire life with wishful thinking.

1. Aesop Rock 2. Onry Osbourne 3.

Illogic 4. El-P 5. Odd Thomas is tied with Reks... they both put out amazing work but you really can't compare the 2 to one another Honorable Mentions: Kool Keith, O.C., Nas, Oh No, Planet Asia I have a feeling the second half is gonna be all Ghostface Killah with Supreme Clientele 2 and Wu Block and DOOMSTARKS coming out.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
