DJ Premier Lists Top 25 LPs Of 2010

Which artists merit a mention on Preme's annual list?

Legendary producer DJ Premier continued his annual tradition of listing his favorite 25 albums of the year.
The is mostly comprised of veterans such as Ice Cube, Bun B, KRS-One, Fat Joe, and Scarface, although Drake's Thank Me Later was a notable rookie inclusion.
