What’s up, y’all? It’s ya boy mophead, here with the last Clean Up Hour of the year. Tonight is the show’s annual Worst of the Year list — 12 albums get put under the scope. Check it:

After rambling for a bit over an hour, I played a small mix of music:

Tracklist:

Mr. Muthaf**kin Exquire (HUGHIE!) – Dot vs. Dilla
Michael Christmas – 24’s Freestyle
G’s Us & Blu – Freaks
Serengeti – Untitled 3
Lupe Fiasco – 3,048
Pillz – City of Gold
Charles Hamilton – Child Safety

Then, in the final 16 minutes of the show, I did the 20th Mini All Things Considered on the late Curtis Plum, whose only album, Call My Cellphone, was on repeat this year.

Tracklist for that part:

Bike Cop
More Than One Hat
Xbox Trife Life

So, for #throwbackthursday, let’s go back in time to all of the Worst of the Year lists I’ve done since the show started:

See y’all in the new year!

What’s up, y’all? It’s ya boy mophead, here with tonight’s Clean Up Hour (to those of you who use RSS, I will upload the show here a bit later — I put the file away on my external hard drive before I remembered to upload it here). Check it:

Tonight’s mix is the 53rd All Things Considered, making the case for Keor Meteor, the french beatmaker whose music deserves a lot more attention. There are 189 songs in this mix, so I’m not writing out the tracklist here — it’s been a long enough day already.

For #throwbackthursday, I’m going to repost three of my previous holiday/Christmas mixes, as I don’t think I will be doing anything like that this year.

See y’all next week for the year’s worst of list!
