DJ Premier Picks Top 25 Albums Of 2010

As DJ Premier has been doing since a few years, here’s his top 25 Hip-Hop albums of 2010. If you are wondering about the criteria, here’s what he said at the time of doing the 2009 list:

“I judge my list based on dope beats, dope rhymes, scratchin’ and cutting, creativity, uniqueness, originality, and overall packaging of the product’s integrity. I don’t care if you sold a million copies, that does not make it dope. I went through more than 60 LP’s released in ‘09 on major and indie labels over and over to get it as close as i possible could to being satisfied with the list so here it is along with the list.”
