Okay. Well, if you're interested, two of the best recent hip hop albums this are Kendrick Lamar's "Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City" and J Cole's "Born Sinner."
Earth, Wind, & Fire's "Now, Then, & Forever" is pretty much untouchable, so I'm not including it in my top albums of the year. Maybe the decade, though.
Hey, it happens. Just do a quick search next time. At least it means there are more than a few people interested in the band, but it gets confusing discussing the same thing through multiple threads. Trying to remember what you said, where, and when.
