Top 50 Music Albums of 2012
by 
Applerill 
This year has been wonderful for pop,
Metal, jazz, and especially hip hop.
Every one of these records I really like,
At least there's a bit of psyche.
I gave 5 stars to the whole top eight,
I guess it's like Myspace, but actually great.
Many of the albums are free for download legally,
Copy-paste the link, and get it if you please.
Now, to tell you what from this year you should never, ever shelve,
I present to you the top 40 albums of 2012.

My Friend CJ is very smart,
He's a walking encyclopedia of modern art,
His album of the year is this Bell Hooks,
He thinks it'll be in the hip hop history books.
Here's what he says.
"Bell Hooks is without question the best hip-hop album of 2012, probably the best hip-hop album of the ’10s and very possibly one of the best hip-hop albums of all time."

Godard's Breathless: The Album.
Immaculate Gothic Hip-Hop.
