List all the exceptions to album release date. 85-2015.
Or if there can be a hard and fast rule. Propose it.
Seems to me too much of an emphasis on singles.
Not if you take into account all singles and remixes from an album, even if the singles/remixes drop the following calendar year.

breh

if we are going by the title BEST RAPPER 'said year' it shouldn't have anything to do with only releasing an album in that said year !!! it should have to do with that rapper as a whole whether it's singles, freestyles, collaborations, mixed tapes and YES albums too...
I mean let's just take the very beginning of this list Grand Master Caz, Melly Mel, Kool Moe Dee, Kurtis Blow etc. etc. **im not 100% on this** BUT mostlikely didn't drop an album of the year they've were giving BEST RAPPER in that year

Really the old rule if i remember right.
I wanna say any album that was released in the third or fourth week of November was considered a first quarter industry release. Which comes into play when you get on majors.
Or if the major picked up the rights to the record.
Yet since rap had its dark ages in the conversion to the new school way of thought.
It is highly relevant to this.

1984-1985-1986 : I need a beat twelve inch white label with I need a beat the long version.
This record has a long complicated story behind the general loss of I need a beat the long version.
Which I don't know all the facts on, as it had supposed numeous indie printings and I am not sure of the exact date the long version disappeared on the single as a release.

86 : LL cool j
Radio single
Radio album

84-85 : Utfo Roxanne Roxanne

85- dark ages of rap : Roxanne wars

Rap.suffered almost death in the wrinkle.of time between ol.school to new school way of thought.
As the biter based Roxanne wars almost errode rap and thus hiphop into a non draw.
Yet the draw of Roxanne Roxanne was a national to almost, worldwide biter fest.
that crowned a doppelganger Roxanne or multiple roxanne's in the same city or state and almost singlehandidly ruined rap and hip hip into a damn near death knell.
As these Roxanne were not always endorsed by utfo.


Whodini : 1984

Freaks as an album cut turned draw
Friends, as an actual single.

Which drew for two years and was a real primetime radio spin Record for this era in no rap on the radio in general era.

Criminal minded battle based singles from 85 to criminal minded album on bboy records lp in 87.

By any means necessary in 1988 the golden year of rap.

By any means necessary in 88.

Eric b is president/my melody twelve 1986

Paid in full in 1987.

Be mad cause you don't know shyt about hip hop, culturally at al. Plus, don't know know skill well enough to comment on a protege to a legend, breh.

nikkaz already clowning you because you think like a little teenage girl with affinity for pop about gangsta rap.

Fellowship already was on their second classic album before bone ever dropped.
You did not even own yomo and maulkie at all just for starters cause when nikkaz had a bone thread.
You were not there to talk about none of their origin at all and I supplied most of the content in that thread as wel.
Plus the fact you don't know gangsta rap as well as me either on no day.
As I been about all this shyt and not a general uneducated and uncultured rap fan like you.

I would like to see you try to discredit me as an emcee for real.
I am one of the most advanced emcees ever and shyt nikkaz was doing in 2009. Me and ju were already doing in 1999.
The same year I had a debut classic grassroots record released and later remixed in 2003.

You don't know this shyt like that and are a laughing stock around here.

Now, please try to post rhymes of mine and discredit them.
Please do,....
As your whole precious gangsta rap shyt as a draw was singlehandidly given cultural passes from Eminem.
When Eminem was put on the national scene by juice and I am the protege to juice.
You would never have had any new dr dre or any of that shjt without the pedigree from where I am from.
Not to mention, hordes of other shyt attached to elongating emcee'n.

I am factually that nikka, nikka,....and you can't dispute a fact.


fukk your emotional jail bird feelings nikka.

If you were doing something worth talking about, I'd hear about it from someone other than yourself. Self praise is no praise.
And fukk all them nikkas that are "clowning" me. It doesn't phase me AT ALL .
They're just weak sheep to me.
nikkas was never nothing in hip hop, sitting around with a million excuses as to why their name's ain't ringing more bells. "So and so made classics blah blah" what happened then? nikkas ain't shyt

You really don't know this culture and the funny part is.
You really think commercial sales supercedes the actual culture with people within the culture.
That is why you fail, as well.

Not to mention, record deals are given out.
Yet, you have to be a fool to take one.
You know nuffin about th culture or industry.
You are just a mislead fan from prison industrial economy based marketing
which is sorry because you listen to what white people.told you to like and paid for you to like and can not think for yourself.
Plus, shun a culture that singlehandidly created.
Everything you like to do or want to do in your own very life.
