HHS 2011 Year-In-Review: The 25 Greatest Mixtape Bangers
Last year we gathered up our 25 favorite “mixtape bangers” – that is, all the cuts released on the internet without an official album or artist-sanctioned mixtape to call home. Since nobody presses 12″ singles anymore, this was our way of picking out our favorite street singles – the “best of the blogs”, if you will. The end result was a mixtape by yours truly called Bloggin’ Outta Control. With 2011 finished, we dun did it again, and picked our blog bangers of the year. And yes, a mixtape will soon follow….[cont.]

HHS 2011 Year-In-Review: The 10 Worst Songs Of The Year
We decided to skip the “Biggest Songs Of The Year” or “Best Club Bangers” list, for a few reasons. One, we can’t tell good from bad when we are drunk in the club, two, this shit has been covered ad nauseum, and three, it makes us feel like we’re at work. We’re tired enough of playing “Look At Me Now”, so forget asking us to blurb about it. Instead, we’re going to cover the ten worst songs of the year. We’d be just fine if we never heard any of these ever again….

HHS 2011 Year-In-Review: The 10 Best Mixtapes Of The Year
So, last year we picked 25 of our favorite mixtapes, but this year we narrowed it down to a concise 10 selections. Why? Well, how many times can you hear freestyles over the same “hot” instrumentals? So, this year, we trimmed the fat, instead choosing the cream-of-the-crop. As far as the 2011 mixtape game is concerned, these cats did it best.
P.S. – What?!?! No Buck’s Wildest Beats?!??! Heh…[cont.]

HHS 2010 Year In Review: The 25 Greatest Mixtape Bangers
With so much music coming out on a daily basis, it’s hard to keep up with everything your favorite artists are doing. Copping their albums isn’t enough anymore, as rappers are tweeting out exclusive singles and remixes on a regular basis. This list represents the 25 hottest cuts you might have missed; the songs that didn’t blow up hugely, or basically didn’t have an official album (retail, street, or otherwise) to call home. While some of these may end up on future LP’s (i.e. Watch The Throne, etc), others were lost in clearance limbo. But the world could end tomorrow, so at this point they are resigned to the tapes……[cont.]
