Killa Cam wants his damn nomination or he'll send Jimmy to smack the kufi off your favorite blogger's head. Wait, Jimmy didn't get a nod either. Must be the mispelled album title.

Anyhow, we're doing it sorta kinda different this year...

12 Bloggers...
picked 10 albums each (released between Nov. 2005 and Nov. 2006) and ranked them in order of preference.

55 Albums...
were nominated on the whole.

10 Albums...
made the final cut, and the list will be published on About.com sometime this week.

"Numbers don't lie," says one of the rappers who somehow managed to crack the Top 10. So, to show you how we arrived at the Final 10, individual lists will also be available for your viewing pleasure when the list goes live. Major thanks to the wonderful contributors. (And you thought all hip-hop bloggers did was shittalk and sling subliminals at one another. Ha!)

The Coalition:
Straight Bangin'
Notes from a Different Kitchen
Nah'Right
Fly, Black Scholar
Cocaine Blunts
Sumish
Oh Word
Until the Train Stops
Speech Is My Hammer
Byron Crawford
Vibes 'n' Stuff
Yours Truly

Next year, 150 collaborators maybe?

By the way, I was only kidding. Cam was nominated.
