2010 was an incredible year for music. To have the return of the greatest rapper alive, Eminem, to his best was mindblowing; Kanye West took hip-hop to grandiose heights that no other person had. But it wasn’t just hip-hop that dominated this year - Country music stood out in sales with the beautiful Taylor Swift and group Lady Antebellum making a dent in worldwide sales.
Also worthy of note were excellent debuts from new school rappers like Drake, B.o.B, Nicki Minaj and Yelawolf - But will the new jacks have what it takes to crack the top 10?
My Top 10 of ‘10 were:
10. Vinnie Paz - Season Of The Assassin
9. Canibus - C Of Tranquility
8. Brotha Lynch Hung - Dinner And A Movie
7. Nas & Damian Marley - Distant Relatives
6. Taylor Swift - Speak Now
5. Cee-Lo Green - The Lady Killer
4. B.o.B - The Adventures Of Bobby Ray
3. Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy
2. Big Boi - Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son Of Chico Dusty
1. Eminem - Recovery
