33.) Blu - Jesus LP (1.5/5)

34.) Lupe Fiasco - Lasers (1/5)

35.) Lil B - Red Flame: Devil Music Edition (1/5)

Update:

Riches, Royalty, & Respect was generic as hell in both rapping and production. Gangsta, blah blah blah. The stereotypical Kool G record, only boring and more generic. I liked Offer You Can't Refuse better, but only because it ended earlier.

Sounds like I hate it but it was okay just very overrated. Angels Exodus has Lil B's best rapping and the production is very atmospheric, I really like it.

Update 2:

Elmatic was a tribute album, how can I rate it any higher? The rapping was very good, but the production is just Illmatic with a little twist.
