Lets get right to it: Cruel Summer is the best rap album of 2012. From mixtapes to majors, no other release has been more exciting, more emphatic, or more fun to discuss. Its all weve cared about since this fateful tweet last October, and it delivers on every expectation we couldve had.
Sure, we spun the hell out of Ab-Souls Control System and even pretended like Rick Ross wasnt spitting the exact same verse over and over just so we could tolerate being in the club. But come clean: Nas rapping about his daughters crazy prophylactics and Nicki Minaj singing about neon-colored spaceships simply doesnt compare to the 13-track masterpiece with which the G.O.O.D Music camp blessed us mere mortals. Lyrically, musically, and artistically, Cruel Summeris a pièce de résistance for the 30-plus brilliant artists involved, whether it dropped in Summer or early Autumn. Its OK to admit that you havent hit play on anything else since.
