We’ve little patience for endless end-of year lists, but here are a few highlights from the most important categories:
BUTTOCK-PAINTING OF THE YEAR
Mr Muthaf*ckin’ Exquire ft Despot, Das Racist, El-P & Danny Brown – Huzzah (Remix). And the best posse cut too.
MOST FUN HAD WHILE HIGH
151 Feva Gang – Kush Groove. In a year where weed intake in rap was equated with spacey slow jams, these guys showed that obvious samples, rollerskates and tiger-print trousers are the way to do it.
HIPSTER RECORD THAT WAS ACTUALLY GOOD
Peaking Lights – 936. Sometimes the hipsters are right, damn them.
MOST SLEPT-ON MODERN CLASSICAL/SOUNDTRACK ISH
Hauschka – Salon Des Amateurs. The master of the prepared piano delivered another wonderful album. People didn’t seem to notice.
What did we miss?

Ha, great categories – end of year lists are best when they’re short and a bit ridiculous.
you forgot the Cut and paste genius of Chopped Herring http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XIsJ8W2HRY also be sure to watch the epic Hip-Hop word association video
Yes, that one is really dope as well! Might win “Most Time-Consuming Fan Video” award…
