Marshall Mathers is without a doubt the sweetest rapper out there right now
Oh I am with you on the Against Me! pick – what a solid follow-up to one of my fave albums of all time. My runner-ups are Jesse Malin’s “Sister Christian, Where Are You Now?” and Zola Jesus’s Early Siouxsie-esque “I Can’t Stand”
I need to check into the rest of your Top 10.
